Tynisha turns intimidating financial topics into sessions people actually enjoy — practical, warm, and grounded in real small business experience.
About the speaker
Tynisha Astrel is the founder, bookkeeper & speaker of Astrel Bookkeeping LLC. She started the firm after watching too many capable business owners run profitable-looking businesses that quietly ran out of cash. The books were behind, the reports were confusing, and nobody had ever sat down to translate them.
Today, Tynisha supports clients across a wide range of industries — from music producers and clothing lines to law firms, real estate firms, and production companies — helping them grow from one-person operations into multimillion-dollar organizations. Alongside that work, she teaches workshops like Understanding the Numbers and AI for the Rest of Us, giving founders and professionals the vocabulary and the math to make confident decisions on their own.
Her sessions are known for being practical, warm, and immediately useful: attendees leave with tools they can put to work the same week.
