At Spark Thomasville, we believe in equipping hardworking entrepreneurs with the tools to build generational wealth—and Briana Butler of BriAdvised.com just helped eight local business owners take a giant leap toward that goal.

Briana Butler, founder of BriAdvised.com, led a powerful Tax Prep Workshop with Spark Thomasville, empowering local entrepreneurs to build legacy through financial confidence.

Her recent Tax Prep Workshop transformed anxiety into action, confusion into clarity, and fear into financial confidence.

“Empowering small business owners to feel confident about their finances is

what I love to do,” shared Briana, whose generous spirit and expertise created a safe space for entrepreneurs to tackle tax challenges head-on.

“When you understand your numbers, you can lead with clarity and peace.”

Workshop Highlights: Turning Overwhelm into Opportunity

Over three weeks and six hours of training, participants gained:

✅Clarity on tax forms – demystifying W-2s, 1099s, and IRS transcripts

✅Practical payroll strategies – navigating owner payments vs. contractor costs

✅QuickBooks basics – streamlining bookkeeping for better decision-making

✅IRS payment plans – breaking down repayment options without shame

✅Document retrieval – accessing missing records through the IRS portal

Briana’s judgment-free approach empowered entrepreneurs to voice concerns they’d “been nervous about saying out loud.”

One participant shared, “I finally understand how to catch up—and stay ahead.”

Building Legacy, Not Just Filing Taxes

The results speak volumes:

• 8 entrepreneurs now have actionable plans to resolve back taxes

• 100% left with customized resources and renewed confidence

• $1,500 funding opportunities for qualifying Spark graduates

“They’re not just doing taxes—they’re building legacy,” Briana emphasizes.

Her workshop addressed barriers many face: “Startups often lack affordable accounting help. I want to bridge that gap.”

A Mentor’s Heart: “Becoming What I Needed”

Briana’s passion stems from her own journey. “I became an entrepreneur in 2016 with no guidance. Now, I’m being the mentor I needed.”
