In this episode, I chat with Tina Mathams, also known as The ADHD Accountant on Instagram. Tina shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with ADHD later in life, after noticing symptoms in her son. As an accountant who struggled in traditional accounting jobs, Tina realized she could help others in the neurodivergent community better manage their finances by starting her own virtual accounting firm. Tina provides tips for budgeting, recognizing impulsive spending triggers, canceling unused subscriptions, and reaching out for help when you're feeling stuck.
