In this episode, we'll dive into the financial storytelling of your business and the distinct roles of financial professionals. I guide you through understanding how bookkeepers, tax professionals, and consultants influence your financial narrative. 

Using a unique metaphor, we'll discuss how a bookkeeper acts like an author or ghostwriter, a tax professional as a publisher, and a consultant as a critic. Ultimately, you'll discover that as the business owner, you are the primary storyteller who dictates the outcome of your business story. Listen in to learn why setting proper expectations for each financial role is key to scaling your business, saving money on taxes, and growing your wealth.
