Welcome to Balance Sheet Banter, where we cut through the jargon around finances to talk honestly about what it really takes to run and grow in business, especially as a woman.

This week, Tara is joined by Grace Hardy, an award-winning accountant who started her own firm at 21.

Grace shares her journey from an apprenticeship to entrepreneurship, discussing the challenges and triumphs along the way.

Together, they delve into all things financial literacy, the importance of community, and Grace's mission to make financial education mandatory in schools.

They also cover practical money tips, the significance of networking, the role of mentorship in business growth and insights into managing a growing business with the help of freelancers and software tools.
