Contractor Cents - Episode 295 - Is Your Wife Doing Your Books?
Is your wife doing your books? If so, is she trained on bookkeeping? Probably not
a good idea if she isn’t. I’ve seen husbands and wives fight over the books and in
some sad cases, get divorced because of the insistence that the wife keep the
books without knowing what she is really doing.
What’s the solution? Sometimes an outsider who understands rapidly growing
companies. Katina Peters, my guest on this podcast, is one of the people who
could help you.
