Show Notes
In today's episode, I chat with Juliette Rivett, a CFO turned small business accountant, who shares her remarkable journey from leaping into work at the tender age of 17, to the upper echelons of the corporate finance world.
In our conversation, Juliette shares a number of significant life experiences, from returning to education to gain her degree in later life, and following in her father's footsteps into financial services, to her deeply personal journey in discovering that her daughter has ADHD and autism, and the profound impact this had on her working life. Resonating throughout is a strong sense of Juliette's natural warmth, as she conveys her commitment to putting the human side first; something she attributes to her Christian faith.
Juliette also provides a number of valuable accounting tips and insights, walking us through the new 'Making Tax Digital' rules and their implications for UK sole traders, alongside actionable accounting tips that every small business owner needs to hear. She also explains her philosophy around client clarity, whether that means avoiding industry jargon entirely or taking the time to thoroughly explain the numbers in order to ensure that clients truly understand what's being presented to them rather than feeling overwhelmed or excluded.
So whether you're considering self-employment, navigating the challenges of balancing business with family needs, or simply want to get a better handle on your finances, Juliette's honest reflections and expert advice offer both inspiration and actionable wisdom for the journey ahead.
