Welcome to Financial Conversations, your place to ask questions and get real answers about money and business finance. 

My name is Anthea Austin, CPA, business owner and numbers wiz! 

As an accountant I talk about money and finance everyday, but most of us business owners are not talking about money, even though we know it's important! Every decision in business has a financial impact, money flows through almost everything we do and yet for some reason the subject is still a little bit taboo. 

To make money we need to talk about money! Financial conversations is your opportunity to have raw and honest money conversations, learn from others and take our next business step together. 

If you are looking to start a business or already call your self a seasoned expert, Financial Conversations is your opportunity to be a fly on the wall as I (a financial accountant and CPA) talk to business owners, entrepreneurs and creatives. 

From running my own business and working with countless other small business owners I have developed my own process  of understanding and using money and numbers to leverage impact and growth. It is these learnings I'm going to share with you on this podcast. 

The number one rule of money, we always talk about money!
