About V.OLT Weekly
V.OLT Weekly is a short, personal look at the business side of creative work. ~ Hi, I'm Vanessa Olt, a business consultant and accountant for the creative industry, based in Berlin. Each week I recap what happened, what I learned, what's on my mind. Structured by Kalenderwochen, because that's just how my brain works ;) For freelancers, studios and self-employed creatives in Germany and beyond. Think of it less like a podcast and more like a voice memo! ~ This podcast is not tax, legal or financial advice. General info based on my own experience, not tailored advice for your specific situation.

KW40 ~ Holding Hands and Calming the Chaos
This week might help you understand what a business consultant for creatives does day to day, and how sorting and translating your numbers can make them feel less scary. And maybe it's a relief to hear that many creatives were simply never taught the basics of running a business.

KW39 ~ Golden Autumn, mika, and a Tax Prepayment Mix-Up
This week might help you understand which tax prepayments are usually relevant for solo self-employed people (specifically freelancers, or “Freiberufler” in the German legal sense) and when they are usually due. You might also get a better sense of why joining the Open Circle with Pittogramma could be worth it, and how a software tool might help if you have a limited company registered in Germany.

KW31 ~ End-of-month QA, tech help, and what is actually a Bilanz (balance sheet)
Not really a podcast, more like a "Sprachi" ;) This week I walk you briefly through my end-of-month quality checks in accounting, why I'm looking for tech help, and a listener question on what a Bilanz (a balance sheet) actually is, explained in my own words. Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G28dz7JOjQM)'s the 90s closing track from Bandulera (https://www.instagram.com/bandulera/?hl=en)'s set at the festival that made my week. Enjoy! Also, join the next Open Circle! A free group call for freelancers and self-employed people in Germany talking about the financial, operational and accounting side of running a creative business. Next one: Aug 20 at 5pm, together with Creatives' Tool (https://creativestool.com/) Come and join, it's freeee!
