Managing Small Business Finances: REAL Talk with Tiffany Bastian {Ep 057}

First things first – I messed up in episode 058 and referenced the shownotes at 057. Oops! So if you’re here for the linear calendar template, CLICK HERE for the episode shownotes for 058, the Linear Calendar episode.

If you’re here because you want some awesomeness from Tiffany – you’re in the right place!

Today’s episode hits home for me – because finances are definitely not a strength. Managing small business finances is not something I’m a master at. But I’m learning, and work with some amazing people to help me walk through what I need to do. Today’s guest is one of them! Tiffany Bastian is the owner of Bastian Accounting, working exclusively with photographers to help them gain control of their finances through accurate bookkeeping & taxes. She is also a mom, wife, dog mom and total Margarita Snob, and just a spectacular resource for managing small business finances.

We are going to talk about doing the hard things, even when we don’t want to, having your OWN financial security just in case, and things to think about when it comes to running a successful business and the finances behind the scenes.

So, get yourself comfy, press play and enjoy!
