Office Slave to Boss Babe: How Beth took her side hustle full time

Quits and Giggles

Think tax and accountancy is dull? Think again. Beth Jackson describes herself as 'Not another pants accountant' and she's on a mission to debunk the financial side of running your business - something that so many female entrepreneurs struggle with (me included before I met her).
But Beth wasn't always running her own business. She was once a corporate slave, who spent most of her days bored out of her mind 'flicking through the shared drive'.
But it wasn't until a drunken message from her sister that she decided to start a side hustle and see if she could take it full time. Get ready to hear her ridiculously honest story of how she managed to quit the corporate world and work for herself, helping small business owners with their tax and accounting.
And that's not all. Beth digs into all the burning finance and tax questions that you're too afraid to ask in case you look stupid... Should I go sole trader or limited company? How much should I be saving for tax? Do I really need an accountant? Beth's got you covered in her unique 'professional unprofessional' style.
