Your Financial Maven®
Your Financial Maven®, hosted by Samantha Mittman Besnoff, CPA, is a podcast where you will be challenged to change the way you think about and understand money to be more financially empowered and less stressed.

I’ve spent almost 30 years in the accounting world in various areas and that is why I am known as Your Financial Maven®. Hosted and Produced by Samantha M. Besnoff, CPA Edited by Kris Zarnoch of KMZen Creative Music Written, Composed, and Performed by Daniel Shore
