Why does financial literacy feel so intimidating? How finding the right accountant can make it all click

​​What if you’re not bad with money? You just don’t speak the language?

In this episode, Denzil shares how a conversation with Andrew Riesen (CEO and co-founder of Heard) helped her see finances in a new way.

As a lifelong “words person,” she talks honestly about feeling intimidated by spreadsheets, the quiet shame of not understanding money terms, and the kinds of professionals who made things finally click.

Along the way, Denzil invites you to:

  • Look for accountants and advisors who translate, not perform
  • Ask “silly” questions (and notice who makes you feel small for asking)
  • Request things in writing so you can process them on your own time
  • Seek out the pros who think one step ahead and tailor advice to your real life

If the money side of your clinic has ever felt confusing or overwhelming, this is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to become a “numbers person” overnight. You just have to find the right translators to help you learn the language.
