Tools That Make Business Life Easier
A running list of the tools, apps, and platforms I actually use and recommend — for banking, content, accessibility, and everything in between. No fluff, no filler. Just things worth knowing about.
Money & Operations
The behind-the-scenes systems that keep a business running smoothly.
Novo
Business banking built for small business owners — no monthly fees, simple invoicing, and a clear view of your cash flow so you're never digging through spreadsheets to know where you stand.
EasyDMARC
Protects your business email domain from spoofing and phishing, and helps your legitimate emails actually land in the inbox instead of getting flagged as spam. Set-up-once peace of mind.
Skip
An AI platform built for entrepreneurs — helps you find and apply for grants and funding, build out a business plan, create a website, and even set up an AI agent to handle customer questions. A lot of ground covered in one place.
Content & Visibility
Tools that make creating and getting seen feel less like a full-time job.
Descript
An audio and video editor that works like a document — record, edit, and generate captions or transcripts without needing production skills or a steep learning curve.
Wispr Flow
Voice dictation that turns speaking into clean, formatted writing. Useful for getting emails, notes, and first drafts down faster when typing feels like the bottleneck.
Press Ranger
A media outreach platform that connects you with journalists, podcasts, and publishers covering your industry — a practical way to build visibility beyond your own channels.
Block Builder
The tool behind the dynamic speaker showcase you saw at the ACE Marketing Summit. Build responsive, embeddable content blocks for your own site, funnels, or events.
Accessibility & Trust
Because a website that works for more people is a stronger business asset.
UserWay Accessibility Checker
A straightforward way to check your website's accessibility and add tools that help more visitors use your site comfortably, regardless of ability.
alttext.ai
Generates thoughtful, accurate alt text for your website images automatically — better for the people who rely on it, and a quiet boost for SEO too.
Successible
A membership built by accessibility educator Erin, helping business owners make their websites and content genuinely more inclusive — not just checkbox-compliant.
