At September's Schuypreneur Boot Camp, we're tackling some of the financial tasks that can consume a small business owner's time and cause a lot of unnecessary frustration.
QuickBooks + Payroll Basics
We'll talk about how QuickBooks can help you organize your business finances, understand what's coming in and going out, and keep better records.
We'll also discuss payroll services — what they do, when you might need one, and how they can help prevent small payroll and tax mistakes from becoming expensive problems.
Bring your questions.
You don't need to be an accountant. This session is for people who aren't.

Had such a fun time at Horseheads High School today, talking with over 20 students about IncubatorWorks and what it means to be an entrepreneur! Their questions were sharp and I truly appreciated the conversations we had!
Big thanks to Brooke Hockeborn for welcoming me into her classroom. Brooke has been a co teacher for our Summer Youth Entrepreneurship Program, and she is always showing up for the young business leaders in our community. We are lucky to have teachers like her in the Southern Tier.

Come out this weekend, support our friends, and get some garlic! 🧄🎉👑 Announcing the 2026 Cuba Garlic Fest King & Queen! 👑
We're thrilled to introduce this year's Garlic Fest King and Queen: Kyle Thomas and Beth Knight!
Kyle Thomas is a native of England who, after 20+ years of travel, put down roots in Cuba 16 years ago. He lives here with his wife, Heather, and their two children, now both in high school. Kyle works as a load master for a cargo airline, is an avid soccer fan, and has an identical twin who lives in Scotland!
Beth Knight is a Cuba native who graduated from Michigan State and earned her Physical Therapy degree from Gannon University. After 20 years in Erie, PA, she returned home to Cuba following the loss of her husband and opened Tap-N-Pour. Beth now works as a travel physical therapist and hopes to find a new location to reopen her establishment soon. She also has an identical twin!
Double cloves, double trouble, this year's royal court comes in twos! Come out and see them reign over the festival and be sure to stop by for a photo with royalty!

Community is everything in this work. At IncubatorWorks, we talk a lot about the resources, mentorship, and funding sources that help entrepreneurs grow... but none of that goes as far without a network of people who actually show up for each other. That's exactly what Upstate NY Business Meetup builds, and why we're proud to be part of it.
Also {plot twist} I'm not just IncubatorWorks' Program Director. I'm also a working artist and entrepreneur myself, so this one's personal too, and I am grateful.
They're running something great below: the Filomena Follow Train. Drop your name, your business, what you do, and where to find you. Then go connect with a few other folks in the thread. Real connection, not a like-and-run.

A final reflection on our 2026 Summer Youth Entrepreneurship Program in Elmira, as students head back to school. 🌟
Our students visited the LECOM Event Center in Elmira, getting an inside look at what it takes to run a dynamic, multi-purpose venue. Thank you to the LECOM Event Center team for hosting our students!
They also spent time at Conner Delaney's Boxing Club in Elmira, learning about confidence, discipline, and hard work in the ring. 🥊 Thank you, Conner, for welcoming our students and sharing such valuable lessons!
Grateful for a season full of growth, connection, and unforgettable experiences for our youth. ... See MoreSee Less
