In this episode, we're speaking with Andrew Riesen, a mission-driven entrepreneur, financial accountant, and CEO of Heard.

If you haven't heard of Heard (see what we did there?), it's an accounting platform built for therapreneurs, aiming to empower therapists as business owners by saving them time on their finances.

In today's special edition of The Money Sessions, Andrew doesn't hold back — he gets real about his journey as a business owner, gives his perspective on therapists and financial literacy, and shares his thoughts on how to set ourselves up for a successful 2025.

If you have questions about the nitty gritty of money and finance as a therapreneur, this is THE place to start.

In this episode, Andrew shares:

The challenges he's seen therapists face in 2024, especially when it comes to making money;

His predictions for 2025 and what you can do to set yourself up for success as a therapist in private practice;

The challenges he's faced and the lessons he's learned as a business owner;

The real importance of financial literacy for therapists (we promise it's NOT boring).
