  • S2 EP8: Can I Claim For That?

    Beckie and Rhianna talk to Millie from Highlight Bookkeeping and discuss some of the key problem areas for a small business when trying to manage their own accounts. This is often a generic issue especially for those with neurodivergence. Many entrepreneurs and small business owners experience fear and procrastination when it comes to their accounts… but it really doesn't have to be this way. Millie shares valuable insights on how to find a neuro-affirming bookkeeper that can almost body-double along side you and they discuss the importance of choosing the right accounting software to streamline your financial processes. Through humour and sharing their own experiences they break down the fear and procrastination surrounding money management.
