Financial Conversations

About Financial Conversations

Financial Conversations is your place to ask questions and get real, raw and brutally honest answers about money and business finance. I’m your host Anthea Austin, business owner and CPA. As an accountant I talk about finance everyday! But most of us business owners are not talking about money, even though we know it’s important. Every decision in business has a financial impact, money flows through almost everything we do and yet for some reason the subject is a bit taboo. To make money, we need to talk about money! Financial conversations is your opportunity to have raw and honest money conversations, learn from others and take our next business step together. If you are looking to start a business or if you call yourself a seasoned expert this podcast is your opportunity to be a fly on the wall as we go behind the scenes and speak to business owners, entrepreneurs and creatives. Through running my own business as well as working with countless other small businesses, I have developed my own process to better understand and leverage money and numbers for impact and growth. It’s these learnings I’m going to share with you in this podcast! The number one rule of money, we always talk about money! Want your question to be answered on an upcoming episode?
