Speaking
Money and Business Topics
Business finances matter, taxes matter & knowing what your numbers are trying to tell you matters. That doesn't mean we have to talk about them like we're reading an accounting textbook out loud. I'm Jen Becker, founder of Mod Ledger, and I speak to business owners, entrepreneurs, organizations, and professional groups about the financial side of running a business in a way that's practical, approachable and understandable. My goal is simple: Give people information they can use, explain the things no one bothered to explain, and make complicated topics feel a whole lot less complicated.
Practical + Relatable
I believe people learn better when they feel comfortable asking questions, when information connects to their actual lives, and when they’re allowed to laugh once in a while.
My presentations combine real-world financial education with honest conversations about what it’s actually like to run a business.
No judgment. No unnecessary jargon. No pretending everyone in the room already knows what a ledger is.
Simply useful information, clear explanations, and plenty of “Ohhh…now I get it” moments.
Speaking Topics
Presentations can be customized for your audience, event, or organization. Popular topics include:
Financial Literacy for Business Owners
Understanding what your numbers actually mean and how to use them to make better decisions.
The Financial Side of Growing a Business
How to think through hiring, expanding, investing, and growing before making the leap.
Taxes Without the Panic
Understanding tax planning, estimated payments, deductions, and the financial decisions that can affect your tax bill.
Is Your Bookkeeping Really Done?
What accurate bookkeeping actually looks like and why clean financial information matters beyond tax season.
Cash Flow vs. Profit
Why a profitable business can still feel broke and what business owners need to understand about the money moving through their business.
The Things Nobody Tells You About Running a Business
An honest, practical conversation about finances, decision-making, growth, and all the responsibilities you somehow acquired when you decided to become your own boss.

Meet Jen
Jen Becker is the founder and owner of Mod Ledger, an accounting firm built around a pretty simple idea: people deserve to understand their finances without feeling judged, overwhelmed, or talked down to.
As an entrepreneur and business owner herself, Jen brings more than accounting knowledge to the conversation. She understands the decisions, uncertainty, opportunities, and occasional “What have I gotten myself into?” moments that come with running a business.
Her speaking style combines education, empathy, honesty, humor, and practical takeaways people can actually use after they leave the room.
