We talk a lot about hiring help for your business here on the Ideal Practice© podcast, but we haven’t talked yet about getting help for your finances.

So today - as we’re knee deep in tax season 😵‍💫- let’s start with a look at who you need to have on your money team.

(Did you even know you needed a money team? I know! For the longest time, I didn’t either!)

In this episode, meet Danielle Hayden, co-founder and CEO of Kickstart Accounting. Danielle’s all-female firm helps entrepreneurs understand their numbers so they can feel confident and in control, with a business that is profitable and enjoyable.

As you’ll hear, having the right money team in place and learning how to truly understand your business finances isn’t just a smart thing to do. It’s key to stepping fully into your power as a practice owner. 

It’s also one of the things you’re most likely to avoid. (Right?)

So let’s talk about…

  • The 4 key roles you MUST have filled on your money team.
  • The first team member that you need to hire (and why so many people try to DIY this and fail).
  • Why paying MORE taxes is sometimes a smarter strategy. (Whaaat?!)
  • Why your accountant is NOT the right person to answer questions about financial strategy for your business.  (And who is).

Real talk?

No one likes talking about taxes, y’all, but when you stop hiding from your numbers and take back control, you really will be amazed at how different you feel as a practice owner. The shift is almost tangible.

So, take your business seriously.

Your clients certainly deserve it.  

And guess what?

So do you. 😉
