No Se Habla Taxes
Welcome to No Se Habla Taxes—the podcast where real talk meets real numbers. I’m Melissa: CPA, fractional controller, solo practice owner, and your no-fluff financial translator.
Every other week, I get brutally honest about what it’s really like doing my own bookkeeping (yes, even the meltdowns) so you don’t have to learn the hard way.
If you’re an early-stage founder, creative entrepreneur, or service-based solopreneur doing your own books in QuickBooks Online, or avoiding them entirely, this show is for you.
No Se Habla Taxes is part confessional, part crash course, and 100% judgment-free. We’ll tackle bookkeeping basics, DIY accounting tips, tax-time readiness, and the mindset shifts that actually move the needle in your business.
Because while no se habla taxes… yet… we're about to change that, one reconciled bank statement at a time.
Let’s dive in.

Even CPAs Get Rusty: My Month-End Confession
Welcome to No Se Habla Taxes—the podcast where a seasoned CPA does her own bookkeeping… and lives to tell about it.
In this very first episode, I’ve got a confession: I recently sat down to do my own books and could not find the reconciliation screen in QuickBooks Online. Cue the three-tab meltdown (YouTube tutorial, QBO Help Center, and a glass of wine). It was humbling—and hilarious—but also a wake-up call.
This episode is for every founder who's felt overwhelmed by bookkeeping tech, behind on the backend, or just plain embarrassed by their chart of accounts. I’ll walk you through what I did next (hello, recertification!) and why it’s never too late to get back to bookkeeping basics.
You’ll also get:
- A simple, repeatable month-end close checklist (the exact one I’m using now)
- Permission to be imperfect—but consistent
- A reminder that you’re not alone in this
