Turning Financial "Shock" into Profit "Awe": Meet Kopsa Otte CPAs & Advisors
At Serious Business® 2026, we are exploring the space between "Shock"—the sudden disorientation of a shifting world—and "Awe"—the quiet resilience and magic found in the aftermath. For many salon owners, "Shock" lives in the numbers: fluctuating margins, complex tax regulations, and the anxiety of the unknown. But when you have a clear financial roadmap, those numbers transform into "Awe," giving you the confidence to lead your team through any disruption.
