In this episode of Keep What You Earn, Shannon continues her conversation with guest Amanda Adams about their experiences in corporate careers and how they have shaped their approach to building their own practices as self-employed accountants. They discuss the importance of setting boundaries, work-life balance, and prioritizing the type of work and clients they choose to engage with. They also share how they've adapted traditional workplace practices, including hierarchy, job titles, and the value of diversity in professional environments. Join Shannon and Amanda as they reflect on their journeys and share valuable insights that every entrepreneur can benefit from.

 

Amanda fell in love with accounting before she knew of all the exciting possibilities it possesses. Since then, she has learned a great deal about the accounting industry and even picked up a couple of degrees and a CPA license along the way! Amanda has experience in the day-to-day data entry accounting up to Controller and fractional CFO responsibilities as well as tax return preparation for individuals and small businesses.
