This page helps you decide before you commit any time. The workshop was built with very specific people in mind, and we want to be honest about who it serves well.

  • You sometimes mix household and store money without a clear separation method
  • You want to start tracking but feel unsure where to begin
  • You have a basic Android or iOS phone and want to use it more effectively for your store

Participant Profiles

People this workshop was built around.

These are the kinds of situations the curriculum addresses directly. If any of these feel familiar, the workshop was designed with you in mind.

A Filipino woman in her 40s counting cash at a small neighborhood store counter surrounded by packaged goods

The Busy Store Keeper

Open from 6am to 9pm, handling hundreds of small transactions. At the end of the day the cash in the drawer does not clearly connect to a number that means anything. The workshop addresses exactly this gap.

A young Filipino man in his late 20s arranging goods at a weekend market tiangge stall with a notebook visible on the table

The Weekend Market Seller

Selling at tiangge events or weekend markets means irregular income and variable stock costs. Understanding which items actually earn margin is the skill this session develops.
