💰 A little financial know-how can go a long way when you’re building a business.
Last week, we had the opportunity to learn from two members of our Finance Power Team!

🏦 Mary Kaufman with Solutions Bank shared the value of local banking—from the additional support and personal relationships to the sense of community that comes with having a local financial partner in your corner. She also walked us through some of the options Solutions Bank offers its customers.

📊 Shari Sickles with Friedag Associates talked about getting more out of your relationship with your accountant, understanding how they can support your business beyond tax season, and recognizing when it might be time to consider changing your business structure.

Have a banking or accounting question? Mary and Shari are great people to have in your corner! For more information, reach out to:

📣 Looking for more referrals in your industry? Come meet the people who could be sending them your way.

🤝Our next Visitor’s Day is coming up, and we’re inviting local business owners, professionals, and employees who want to grow their network to come experience Kinship Approach for themselves.

📇Referral networking is about more than handing out business cards. It’s about building relationships with people who get to know what you do, understand the customers you’re looking for, and can confidently recommend you when the right opportunity comes along.

🤔Whether you own the business or represent one, if you’re looking to make connections, generate quality referrals, and find your Power Team, we’d love to have you join us.

😁Come meet the group, introduce us to your business, and see what Kinship is all about.

🎓 Educate. 🤝 Refer. 🌱 Grow.

😎A great referral is much more than, "Hey, you should call this person." A GREAT referral comes with understanding.

🤔You know what your fellow business owner does. You know who they serve. You understand what makes them different—and when you hear someone describe a problem they can solve, you recognize the opportunity.

🕰That's why we spend so much time getting to know each other's businesses at Kinship.

Walking into a networking group for the first time can feel a little intimidating.
Where do you sit? Who do you talk to? How does everything work?

That’s exactly why we have a Welcome Committee.

Sarah, Lance, and Mary are here to help visitors and new members feel at home from the moment they walk through the door. Whether it’s making introductions, answering questions, helping you understand how Kinship works, or simply making sure you have someone to talk to, they’re here to help you find your place in the room.

Because at Kinship, building relationships doesn’t start with a referral.
It starts with a welcome.
