Someone waved a £50 note at me at AccountEx. So naturally, I stopped.

What followed was a conversation that didn't sit right with me...and the more I thought about it, the more I realised why.

In this episode I'm talking about commission-based services, why they make me uncomfortable, and the very real, very public case that explains exactly why that instinct exists. If you're a business owner who trusts a finance professional to act in your best interests then this is worth understanding.

I'm sharing:

• What commission-based accountancy services actually mean in practice
• The Apostle Accounting case what happened, who got hurt, and why it still matters
• Why the people who were affected aren't the ones who should feel embarrassed
• What I look for when deciding who to recommend, refer, or work alongside
• Why trust isn't just a nice to have in finance, it's everything!

Because knowing what questions to ask, and what red flags to look out for, could save your business from a very costly mistake.
