178. Why its important to be open about finances with Jacinthe Koddo

Today I speak with Jacinthe Koddo, a Fractional CFO and Financial Literacy Educator about her mission to help demystify the financial world for creative entrepreneurs. She shares her career path (from interior designer to financial guru!), the mistakes she's learned from and the one thing she wants business owners to stop doing to gain control and understanding of their finances. She discusses the differences between management accounting vs financial accounting, some tips and advice for interior designers specifically and the "aha" moment that helped shape her financial perspective.   Billable Rate Calculator  Cashflow Forecast Template Episode 96: Know your Numbers | Part 1 Understanding your Project Profitability with Merilee Wright     Jacinthe Koddo is a Canada-based Fractional CFO and Financial Literacy Educator.
