No Se Habla Taxes

Welcome to No Se Habla Taxes—the podcast for creative agency owners who are done guessing about their numbers and ready to actually understand them.

I'm Melissa Armstrong, CPA and fractional controller, and I will tell you the financial truth your accountant was too polite to say out loud. Every episode, we get into the real operational finance stuff: cash flow chaos, pricing mistakes, hiring decisions, and the messy money moments that nobody talks about but every founder lives through.

If you're running a marketing or creative agency in the $500K to $5M range and your revenue looks great on paper but something still feels off, this show is for you.

No fluff. No spreadsheet worship. No finance speak for the sake of it. Just plain English answers to the questions keeping you up at night.

Because the numbers don't lie. Let's go find out what yours are saying.
