What if the real problem in your business isn’t sales, effort, or ambition, but a lack of clarity around the numbers driving every decision?

In this episode of the Make Life Less Taxing Podcast, Daniel Hanzelka sits down with Kristy Barber, founder of Kristy Barber Consulting, to unpack why so many entrepreneurs feel overwhelmed by their finances, and how understanding the story behind the numbers can transform the way they lead, grow, and make decisions.

Kristy works with growth-minded business owners helping them build accounting systems, workflows, and financial visibility that actually support operations, not just tax filings. From founders who avoid looking at reports altogether to businesses scaling too fast without the right structure, Kristy shares real-world insights into where complexity sneaks in and how simplification creates momentum.

This conversation goes beyond spreadsheets. You’ll hear why numbers don’t lie, how financial clarity reduces mental and emotional stress, and why business owners don’t need to do the numbers, but must understand them. The result? Better decisions, stronger teams, and a business that serves your life instead of draining it.

💡 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
• Why numbers feel intimidating, and how to change that relationship
• How financial clarity impacts confidence, leadership, and growth
• Common mistakes entrepreneurs make when scaling too fast
• Why cash flow visibility matters more than profit alone
• How making numbers “fun” leads to better decisions and less stress
