Definitely Judging You | Questionable Decisions #27
We’ve got a brand new guest this week — the brilliant bookkeeping, accounting, and tax professional Kristin Meador. She joins us from Valencia, Spain, and we’re salty about it, especially after she goes on about her days eating tapas, drinking wine, and visiting the beach. Sigh. But for real, Kristin is awesome and helps us dive into some workplace-related money drama and let’s us know what accountants really think of their clients. 😬
