[FLASHBACK - Episode 33] Taxes... Not As Scary As You Think [Featuring Jennie Schottmiller]

All Things Private Practice Podcast

In one of the most helpful episodes I've ever recorded, Jennie Schottmiller and I discuss "All Things Taxes and Accounting."

If you need EASY-to-make-sense-of tax advice or want to listen to Jennie Schottmiller and I go down our own ADHD rabbit holes, this episode is for you!

Jennie and I talk about...

• Small business startup FAQs
• Accounting 101
• Very common accounting errors
• How to ask for tax help without feeling ashamed
• Tangible steps you can take starting today to make your business run smoothly
• Business Startup 101

Jennie gives out tons of FREE tax advice and even makes talking about accounting FUN.

Once you realize that accounting is just numbers on pieces of paper, it's a lot easier to feel less intimidated by them. Putting your systems in place helps make your business and your life run a lot more smoothly.

Jennie is an accountant and mental health therapist, basically making her a unicorn in the field. She runs one of the most helpful FB groups around, "Simple Profit For Mental Health Clinicians."
