We talk a lot on this podcast about profit first percentages and Xero reports, but this episode is about something most business owners avoid completely: the money conversation with your partner.
I’m not a relationship expert or a therapist. I’m a bookkeeper and a Profit First Professional, and I’ve lived the tension of business money spilling into home life. In this episode I’m sharing why this conversation is so hard, what happens when you avoid it, and exactly how to have it in a way that brings you and your partner closer instead of pushing you apart.
Key takeaway
Your partner doesn’t need every financial detail. They need honesty, context and a plan.
