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.
No Se Habla Taxes
I Bought Business Supplies on My Personal Prime Account (Oops!)
Welcome back to No Se Habla Taxes—the podcast where a CPA confesses the kind of stuff that would’ve made her audit professor sweat.
In this episode, I’m airing out one of the messiest (and most relatable) money habits I’ve had as a founder: paying for business expenses with my personal credit card… repeatedly, on purpose, and sometimes with a side of cinnamon almonds.
Here’s what I share:
- Why I didn’t apply for a business credit card right away—and the story I told myself that kept me stuck
- What finally pushed me to make the switch (spoiler: tax season chaos and 137 Amazon orders)
- Five solid reasons you need a business credit card, even if you're just starting out
- How keeping your books clean isn’t just about compliance—it’s about clarity and confidence
💡 Whether you're DIYing your books or just tired of playing “business or personal?” with your expenses, this episode is your sign to stop co-mingling and start building smarter systems.
🎯 Bonus: Here's a referral link for a business card with 0% interest for a year. Treat your business self (but maybe skip the cat treats). https://www.referyourchasecard.com/21s/ZYGFUP2WV8
🎧 If this episode hit a little too close to home, hit like, subscribe, follow—whatever your platform of choice calls it—and share it with another founder who deserves better than spreadsheet chaos.
