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
Oops! That was personal - Cleaning Up Comingled Expenses
Welcome to No Se Habla Taxes—the podcast where a CPA does her own bookkeeping, spills all the beans… and then counts them. I’m Melissa Armstrong, your fractional controller and financial translator, here to share the real talk behind the receipts.
In this episode, I’m confessing a classic bookkeeping blunder: using my business card for personal expenses. Yep—Target runs, Amazon orders, late-night DoorDash (for "business stamina," of course)… I’ve done it all. And like many early-stage founders, I told myself I’d “fix it later.” Plot twist: I did. But not before my P&L looked like it had a double life.
Listen in as I walk you through:
- Why mixing personal and business expenses is more than just messy—it’s risky
- The legal and tax implications of commingling funds (hi, corporate veil 👋)
- The exact step-by-step process to clean up your books and prevent future slip-ups
- How separating your money Marie Kondo–style can save your sanity and your strategy
💡 If your business card is pulling double duty for client lunches and cat food, this episode is your friendly (and slightly sassy) intervention.
