The Nomad on FIRE Podcast | with Tiffani Higgins | Episode #77 Shownotes

Guest Bio

Tiffani Higgins, the founder of the Stay at Home Bookkeeper Academy and a mother of five. She started her career out as a CPA working 60 hours a week during tax season, feeling guilty for “choosing” her career over her family.  She realized 80% of what she was doing in bookkeeping data entry could be done from anywhere, so why was she working for a corporation away from her family?  Now, she works for herself for 10 hours a week, makes more than her previous salary with no more long days, no stress, and, most importantly, she gets to spend valuable time with her family. 

Tiffani and I have a fun conversation discussing- entrepreneurship, bookkeeping, scaling her business, remote work, family travel tips, and much more!
