Financial Tech Lab by Clara CFO Group
Earlier this year, we launched a separate Financial Tech Lab channel to focus on accounting technology and tools. But after taking a step back, we realized something important — the people who love that kind of content are already here.
So instead of dividing the audience, we’re bringing Financial Tech Lab home — right here on the Clara CFO Group channel.
This channel will now carry the Financial Tech Lab name and continue sharing tutorials, QuickBooks walkthroughs, and financial tech insights that help small business owners and bookkeepers work smarter.
At the same time, we are launching a new channel, @ClaraCFO, dedicated to financial strategy, leadership, and growth for service-based businesses.
This change is all about clarity and service — making it easier for you to find the content that supports your goals.

From FinCEN as of 12/31/2024: "In light of a recent federal court order, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force. However, reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports."
