135 \\ The Hobby Trap: How to Prove Your Side Gig Is a Legit Business to the IRS

Are you unsure of what to do with your business finances? Are you scared you might do something that causes the IRS to come after you? Do you lack confidence in knowing if what you’re doing is correct? Are you desperate for answers for all of your financial questions?  

In this podcast, you will find financial knowledge and systems to set you free from the mass confusion of small business finances.  My mission is to help equip you to have a financially successful small business through financial systems, financial knowledge, and money mindset.

If you’re ready to say yes to being financially successful and stop struggling with everything that hasn’t worked for a solution that will - you’re in the right place!

Hey, I’m Tiffany.  A mom, wife, financial guru and small business owner.  For over 20 years I’ve been a successful small business tax advisor.  I understand the confusion and frustration that comes with managing your own finances.  

As a CPA, I’ve been the ”go to” financial resource and partner for countless entrepreneurs.  Until now, I only helped established business owners making a lot of money, helping them save tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars.  But I realized newer, smaller business owners needed as much, and maybe more, financial help than the bigger guys!  So, I’m here to help you increase your financial knowledge so you, too, can successfully operate your business and make the best financial decisions possible.

So, if you are ready to finally gain CONFIDENCE from financial confusion in your business, create simple financial systems, and get past financial roadblocks - this is the podcast for you! We are going to get absolute control of YOUR business finances TOGETHER.  So let’s dust off those spreadsheets, friend. It‘s time to buckle up!
