#42 | Mental Health and Taxes with Christy Taylor

Interior Designer's Business Blueprint 

Today I’m chatting with Christy Taylor, a Certified Public Accountant on a mission to help empower women in business through financial literacy. Christy specializes in tax preparation and consulting for women-owned small businesses and creative entrepreneurs. When she's not trying to keep her clients from panicking about taxes, you can most likely find her curled up by the fire with a scandalous romance novel, sipping strawberry margaritas by the water, or listening to Taylor Swift on repeat.
