Why I hired a burlesque dancer (to be my accountant)

Summary: Keeping track of your finances can be daunting. Especially when numbers are not your strongest suit or when you don't have a good finance records tracking system in place. That's why having someone who can direct you and advise you is very important. That's where Lauren comes into play. Lauren Thiel is a founder of boutique accountant firm, The Real Thiel. A Chartered Accountant, with a passion for the arts, Lauren is on a mission to educate, empower and motivate creative small business owners and help them manage their finances more effectively. Lauren has a double degree in Tourism and Event Management, and Commerce, with a major in accounting, and spent her early years in the industry with KPMG Adelaide. She founded her first Company, a dance school, at just 22, and today continues to contribute to the arts through her role as Treasurer, Board member and Festival Producer of the Cabaret Fringe Festival. Lauren may very well be the only accountant we know who can also do the entire "single ladies" dance routine. In this episode, we cover how to start healthy financial habits, what to look for in an accountant, and what to do if you're in financial trouble and much much more.
