TRANSCRIPT

 

Well, hello, my friend and welcome to another episode of the Coach with Clarity Podcast. I'm your host, Lee Chaix McDonough, and today I am so excited to bring you an interview with my friend and colleague Jennie Schottmiller of Simple Profit. Jennie is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) as well as a licensed certified public accountant (CPA) in the state of Pennsylvania. So when it comes to understanding the accounting and tax needs for service based professionals, especially coaches and therapists, Jennie is a pro. She left accounting in 2007 to focus on her health and her family and then became a marriage and family therapist in 2010. But soon after opening her private therapy practice, she realized how many of her peers really struggled with accounting, taxes, budgeting and cash management and the like. And that's what inspired her to start Simple Profit. She now provides free resources, educational courses, and accounting coaching to support small business owners. She is a wealth of information, and I know that you are going to find so much value in today's interview. So let's get right to it, I'm pleased to introduce you to Jennie Schottmiller.
