Welcome to the Mic Drop Moments Podcast Episode #211

In this episode of Mic Drop Moments, I’m chatting with Tara Askham.

Tara Askham is an award-winning finance educator, published author and mentor, and founder of TKA Finance Training. She helps small business owners and non-finance leaders understand their numbers with confidence, not jargon. She is a member of Xero’s Financial Confidence Taskforce, a Steering Committee member for the UK Government-backed Maple Review, a consultant to global awarding bodies including AAT, and a funding panel member for NatWest S&CC Charity. Her mission is to bridge the gap between accountants and business owners through practical, confidence-building financial education.

We chat all about the numbers, understanding your numbers, and why.

Tara shares her back story which started with a Blue Peter Appeal, training to be an accountant, and how she turned up for a college course then found herself teaching it the following week.

Numbers are her passion, not just the numbers but helping business owners really understand them. 

Listen as Tara shares some of the biggest mistakes, the questions to ask your accountant, and how you can make better decisions when you really know your numbers.

Tara also talks about her trip driving a TukTuk across India from Chennai to Goa raising funds to educate women and girls.
