APRIL 2026
Spring is in the air, and April has arrived—an exciting time to breathe new life into your business connections! Just like nature’s annual renewal, this month offers a fresh opportunity to blossom in your professional relationships, strategies, and goals.
For small business owners, April is especially significant. It’s a reminder to assess your financial health as Tax Day approaches—an essential milestone to ensure your finances are in check and that you’re set up for success in the months ahead. Take this time to streamline your processes, refresh your business strategies, and set ambitious goals to make the most of the year’s busy seasons.
We’ve got plenty of great networking events this month to help you nurture those connections and build your business. So, jump into the spirit of spring and make the most of the opportunities that come your way!
xx,
Hayley & Mariel

MEET MARIEL FRY
FM Bookkeeping was founded by Mariel Fry in 2023, combining her 8+ years of experience in corporate roles at companies like HBO, BBC Studios, and a video gaming company with her passion for helping small businesses succeed. Recognizing a gap in personalized financial support, she built a service focused on billing, reconciliation, and financial organization tailored to entrepreneurs. As the business grew in 2024, Mariel expanded her mission to not only support clean books but also help business owners create balance between their work and personal lives, launching a blog to share practical insights and strategies. Today, with a growing team of expert bookkeepers, FM Bookkeeping continues to empower small business owners to stay organized, make confident financial decisions, and build businesses that support their lives rather than overwhelm them.
