Host: Welcome to Money Matters, the podcast that dives deep into the world of finance, business, and the people who keep the wheels of industry turning. I'm Adrian Lawrence, and today we're exploring one of the most crucial yet often misunderstood roles in the world of business finance—the Financial Controller. Ever wondered who makes sure the financial ship stays on course? Who's behind those detailed reports that guide a company's future? That's what we're here to unpack. We'll delve into what a Financial Controller does, why they're essential, and how their role is evolving in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world. Let's get started! Host: First things first—what is a Financial Controller? Essentially, they are the guardians of a company's financial health. A Financial Controller—or simply "Controller"—is a senior executive who oversees the accounting department and ensures the integrity of a company's financial reporting. Think of them as the ‘chief accountant,' managing everything from daily bookkeeping to strategic financial planning. They're responsible for the accuracy of financial statements, compliance with laws and regulations, managing budgets, and overseeing internal controls. To put it simply: if a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is the captain of a company's financial ship, the Controller is the navigator, ensuring the ship stays on course, avoiding any financial icebergs along the way. Without them, the business would have a very tough time maintaining fiscal responsibility. Host: Now, let's break down some of the core responsibilities of Financial Controllers. Financial Reporting: This is one of their most significant roles. Controllers are responsible for preparing financial statements—think balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. These documents give a comprehensive overview of a company's financial health and are used by stakeholders, investors, and regulatory bodies to gauge how the business is performing. Budgeting and Forecasting: They play a crucial role in the budgeting process. By analyzing past financial data and current trends, they help set realistic budgets and financial goals. Forecasting helps the business anticipate future revenue and expenses, which is key to making informed strategic decisions. Internal Controls: A controller's job is to implement and monitor internal controls to ensure compliance with financial policies and regulations. This involves making sure that financial transactions are properly authorized and recorded, minimizing the risk of fraud or errors. Tax Compliance: Controllers oversee tax filings, ensuring that a company is in compliance with local, state, and federal tax laws. This is a high-stakes responsibility, as mistakes can lead to fines, legal trouble, and a damaged reputation. Cash Flow Management: Controllers monitor the company's cash flow to ensure it has enough liquidity to meet its short-term and long-term obligations. Proper cash flow management can mean the difference between a thriving business and one that struggles to stay afloat. Host: That's a lot of ground to cover, right? Financial Controllers truly are the backbone of a company's financial operations. But their role doesn't stop there. They're also strategic partners to the CFO and other executives, providing financial insights that help shape the company's direction. Host: To excel in this role, Financial Controllers need a unique blend of skills. Let's highlight some of the key ones: Accounting Expertise: A deep understanding of accounting principles is essential. Most Controllers have a background in accounting or finance, often with certifications like CPA (Certified Public Accountant) or CMA (Certified Management Accountant). Analytical Thinking: They must be able to interpret complex financial data and translate it into actionable insights. Visit FD Capital to find the perfect Financial Controller.

The shortage of accountants in the nonprofit sector is discussed with Jerilyn Dressler, Director of Strategic Partnerships at YPTC.com (Your Part-Time Controller). Jerilyn highlighted the challenges nonprofits face in hiring and retaining accounting professionals, especially those with CPA (Certified Public Accountant) qualifications. She pointed out that many CPAs are nearing retirement age, and there's a shortage of students majoring in accounting. The conversation covers the differences between accountants and CPAs, with Jerilyn explaining that while CPAs handle annual financial statements, audits, and regulatory filings, accountants work with organizations throughout the year. She stressed the importance of having professionals with nonprofit-specific expertise, as nonprofit accounting involves unique rules and regulations not found in for profit accounting. Jerilyn also shared statistics from the American Institute of CPAs, indicating that 75% of CPAs reached retirement age in 2020, contributing to the shortage. Additionally, she discussed efforts to attract younger talent to the accounting profession by highlighting the potential for technological advancements and AI adoption in accounting roles. The conversation emphasizes the critical role of finance and accounting teams in nonprofit organizations, as they are involved in every aspect and decision-making process. Jerilyn encourages NPO's to bridge communication gaps between departments and leverage their tech to streamline processes and attract and retain accounting talent. This quick episode ended with Jerilyn sharing her personal journey into accounting, highlighting the versatility of an accounting career, suggesting it's an attractive option for those considering a career change or just entering college. Watch on video: https://bit.ly/3t6JbeaFollow us on the Twitter: @Nonprofit_ShowSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

And so I originally read this book in 2002 when I was 24 years old and I read it again last year in March when I was 44 years old. So it's kind of crazy to think, uh, you know, the things you get from one book, uh, reading it as a 24 year old, and now as a 44 year old, you connect a little different with it. And so I reached out to you and I said, "Hey, I gotta have you on the podcast." And you were kind enough to respond and here we are. So, uh, that being said, you've done that, uh, well, you've written tons of books and you've had five ti You're a five Time New York Times bestseller, uh, on author, A Successful Entrepreneur, philanthropist. Um, cpa, you name it, you've been doing it. I'll shut up now and, uh, let people talk to Sharon Lechter. So if you can, Sharon, tell us a little bit more about what's made you the woman you are today.  Sharon Lechter: Well, thanks Brett. Yes. I, you know, when I first started, I lived in a very lower middle class house with my parents. We had a little house between my mom's beauty shop and my dad's used car lot and we owned rental properties. So I've been in real estate investing since I was 10. I had to go scrub out the bathrooms between tenants and we were orange groves, and I swear I would never be an entrepreneur. I saw my friends whose parents were CEOs of companies or military officers, and I said, that's what I want. I, I wanna get, become a sophisticated professional. So I went to college, got my degree in accounting. I was one of the very first women in public accounting, um, in Atlanta, Georgia. Single CPA having fun in Atlanta at the ripe a, age old age of 25. I realized my parents were pretty smart cuz I was working incredible hours and not in control of my life. And I said, this is crazy. So I had the opportunity to. One of my clients invited me to go into a company he was buying out a bankruptcy actually to um, invest in a new company. It's like, okay. So I went back to my condo and said pros and cons. Back then, it was before PCs. So the old yellow legal pad  Brett Gilliland: The old T chart. Sharon Lechter: That's right, that's right. And it didn't help me a bit cuz I could argue both sides. Mobile rising career and public accounting versus the opportunity to own a piece of the rock. And so, um, I, my hand kind of took off across the top of the page and wrote, why not? And that really is still my mantra today. Why not do something different? Why not solve a problem, serve a need? Why not take the path less traveled? And, uh, I think in our society today, too many people ask question, why? Waiting for somebody to tell you what you should do.

Hey, do you have young kids who are eager to earn an allowance? Did you know that there are other ways for your kids to earn money, whether that be investment options or straight cash flow? Do you have a business or paying side hustle? Did you know you can hire your kid to help you? Are you ready to help your child create a healthy relationship with their finances? All of this, and more, only on the BetterWallet podcast with Marc Russell. It is never too soon to begin familiarizing your kids with the basics of financial stewardship. Let's dive in and learn some ways that parents can help set their kids set themselves up for the future. In this episode of the Better Wallet, Marc sits down with Dee to discuss how you can hire your kids. Dee is a Finance Instructor and CPA (Certified Public Accountant) at UCLA and the founder of Kids Money Academy. She helps parents and children learn money-smart habits and methods. As a mother herself, Dee understands how important it is to help set her child up for financial success. We are excited to have Dee here to share some of her knowledge with us. When you work hard for your money, you want to ensure it's going to the right places. And when you have kids, they want your money too. But how can we help our kids earn and save money while also helping to teach them some valuable skills? The answer is simple, let's hire our kids! Hiring your kids can sound strange, but it's way cooler than it sounds. We aren't just putting our kids to work; we are teaching them habits that they can use to become financially independent. "You don't want to be in the driver's seat as a parent; they are in the driver's seat." Says Dee regarding allowing your children to choose how they will distribute their hard-earned earnings. "You want to be a lighthouse parent, which is you give the light you tell them where to go, how to go. But they are in the driver's seat." Dee reminds us that we can guide our children, but it's also crucial to empower them to make their own decisions.  One way to guide your children is to hire them. But why would you want to hire them? Well, it can be beneficial to both you and your child. You and your child can invest up to $12,500 in tax-free money. Whoa! Sounds cool, right? But hold up because if you are looking to do that, there are some things you need to know first.  If you have a side hustle or a business, you can hire your child to help you complete some of your many business-related tasks. But be careful because child labor laws do apply. Your child cannot be involved in anything dangerous and can't work too many hours. The assignment also must be a real business-related job, such as photography or modeling for an Instagram page. Sorry parents, washing dishes does not count. "So, my job as a parent is to create opportunities for them, not like give them everything they want," Dee says. Create opportunities for your child that they can learn and earn from. Make sure you keep a paper trail as well. You can pay your child for each individual task they complete. It's a good way for your child to make money and an excellent way for you to spread some of your own hard-earned wealth.Click here to connect with Marc, learn about investing or money-saving tips, or help your kids and check out Kids Money Academy by visiting here.

Selling in Amazon UK is worth exploring. Even if a lot of American sellers don't want to jump through the hoops to sell in international marketplaces. www.maximizingecommerce.com  Helps people grow their Amazon e-commerce businesses internationally.   Also the host of a podcast and Youtube Channel with the same name.  TOPICS Successfully Expand and Sell on Amazon's International Marketplaces Does a launch service for people - helps people figure things out.  People in the USA are often afraid.  Amazon world tour from US perspective  EUROPE Should You Consider Selling on Amazon's European Marketplaces? When? Europeans If you're already in Europe, it makes sense! How to sell your Amazon products in North America? If you're in North America, it seems like an intimidating thing! Maybe start in Canada if you're based in the USA.  When you've launched on Amazon.com Kevin did it early on - 1 SKU, 4 coming in, registered for Amazon Canada.  Tried Etsy, Shopify etc.  We think in terms of diversification but Amazon usually gives more growth.  He tacked on 30% revenue with Canada. It's just WAY easier to expand listings onto other Amazon marketplaces  Shopify is all about affordable traffic.  Two things block people from starting an Amazon store Forms and money! Forms If someone has a driver's licence and a passport and has passed 6th Grade maths.  The forms to get a VAT (Europe) or GSTN (Canada) is no more complex than that.  The general flow of how you register for things is pretty similar when selling in Amazon UK.  Money! The symbol for the pound or dollars looks different, but it's just numbers.  His sister overseas Kindergarten math.  If you asked a child, "Say $1 in the US=£0.75 So what would $20 be?”. That is literally 6th Grade Math.  Sales Tax Guide for Amazon FBA Sellers Sales tax and income tax. Generally speaking, if you have a company in your home company, you can usually register in the other companies.  You'll owe the income tax based on sales to your home government when selling in Amazon UK.  And the sales tax is owed to the country the sales are made in.  In Canada, it's just once a year, you file and both countries US and Canada, you add in sales tax to the sales price.  UK How do you deal with VAT personally? Americans mostly go into the store, buy things -whatever it says on the shelves - we will pay 6 or 8% on top of that. They are used to that.  US Sales tax cf. VAT If you buy an $8 beer, included in that is some form of sales tax - if you buy a beer for $8, that technically is not $8 that the stadium keeps when selling in Amazon UK.  You should think of it as “everything is like buying something in a stadium.” If there is cash involved, the retailer just adds sales tax to keep it simple.  Accountants and sales taxes/VAT If you go to the doctor, you're not going to go to a foot doctor if you need heart surgery.  Your accountant is similar.  Kevin uses a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) for most stuff. Uses Avask to handle VAT. Uses an accountant who understands the Canadian system (based in Texas) What are the other barriers? Fear of will it works out and VAT! VAT Fear is that it will cost you a lot of money to do.  Pan European from the US perspective Amazon talked Kevin into it! The simplest way to say if you have VAT requirements, if you're outside Europe and you're shipping goods in from outside Europe and you're STORING goods there, you're required to register for VAT.   How to Setup European Fulfilment Network (EFN) on Amazon You could send in your goods into the UK.  You pay at the border to UK government.  Then if you had the goods sold in Italy, Amazon can ship from the UK to Italian customer.  The Amazon Pan-European FBA Program Amazon wants to be able to send goods to near the end customer because of the quick delivery.  If you store in a European country,

When I started my business, he was, my first client.” “Word of mouth is key, but the main thing is being able to serve.” “Tax planning is not doing your tax return, seeing your result and saying I'm not happy with that, tax planning is taking the step back and looking at your total financial situation, and actually putting a plan in place.” “Tax reform was primarily beneficial to C Corps. Now, there were some avenues that were introduced that were beneficial for small businesses such as s corps and single member LLC. But the majority of the benefits went to C corps.” “The one thing that I know that I need to do to continue to scale my business and to grow my business is to bring on some help.” “It helps to have everything somewhat in my control, just to make sure that if the ball drops, it doesn't drop that far.

In this episode of The Expat Money Show, we interview Oliver Wagner to talk about a very controversial subject. That is, how to renounce US citizenship. We get answers to questions like: Why do people renounce their US citizenship? What is an Accidental American? How To Renounce US Citizenship? What are the pros and cons of renouncing US citizenship? What are the tax implications of renouncing US citizenship? and How much does it cost to renounce US citizenship?   Notes on Today's Interview with Oliver Wagner You may be asking yourself, is this for me? Let me tell you, this is not for 99% of the population. However, for a certain portion of my audience, it is extremely valuable.   In my research, I've found a lack of reliable information for American Citizens who want to renounce their citizenship.   We get into details why some people choose to do this and I am not saying people should do this, but for certain Expats, it really does make sense.  Americans are taxed on worldwide income no matter where they live… so it can mean tens of thousands of dollars in taxes every year.   I will also tell you that this interview is really dense. It is a Masterclass in how to renounce your citizenship, by a CPA who does this every day, all day.   This interview is so packed full of information I decided to have the entire episode transcribed. This way you can go through it carefully. The transcription is at the bottom of the show notes for today's interview.   Who is Olivier Wagner Today's guest is an IRS Enrolled Agent and CPA (Certified Public Accountant) who specializes in tax services for US expats. He is the best selling author of https://amzn.to/2W4x789 (‘U.S. Taxes for Worldly Americans') and with his company, 1040 Abroad, his goal is to eliminate tax anxiety - by helping expatriates become US tax compliant.   Why do people renounce their US citizenship? There are a whole host of reasons people renounce their US citizenship. The main reason is the tax implications.  Oliver Wagner explains that it is often not the taxes themselves that people owe money for. It is the fee from their CPA or accountant who must file their tax return every year. Add to this all the yearly bureaucratic paperwork that goes into filing your taxes, renouncing your citizenship makes sense. Make sure to listen in to this complete episode with Olivier Wagner.  Or you can download the transcripts at the bottom of this page to get the full explanation.   What is an Accidental American? Who should consider renouncing their US citizenship? An Accidental American is someone who has dual citizenship and does not live in the USA. Perhaps they never actually lived in the USA at all. They may have been born there or one of their parents are American, so they are subject to citizen-based taxation. Or, as it is often referred to as worldwide taxation. If you are an American citizen or American green card holder and earn more than $10,000 a year it is your obligation to file a tax return no matter where you live in the world.   If you are an American taxpayer and live as an Expat feel free to fill out the form at the bottom of this page for recommendations on a competent and trustworthy Expat CPA, like Olivier Wagner, who can file your taxes for you. It is worth every penny to hire a great CPA for your Expat taxes. They will help navigate the entire process and can often save you considerable amounts of money, certainly more than you have to pay them. Once again, it is mandatory to be tax compliant and we are able to help accidental Americans and other American Expats become tax compliant in a straightforward and expert manner. Although I do not believe the income tax is just or right I never advise anyone to break the law and we do not deal in illegal or shady practices on The Expat Money Show or in any of my writing.  I always encourage people to be tax...

What does a CPA have to do with marketing Question: What is a CPA? What does it have to do with marketing? - Thierry Thierry and I were having dinner in Paris. He listened to a podcast interview I did and I mentioned a term, CPA (Certified Public Accountant), during the podcast. He didn’t know what CPA stands for and wondered if that is a new term for content marketing. Because of his question, I realized that I violated an important rule that I told my clients not to do, I used an abbreviation without an explanation.In my blogposts, I am usually very careful not to use abbreviated terms and make an effort to explain any I do use. And I always tell my clients to explain abbreviations or use a local equivalent for specific geos. Yet here I was, making the same mistake that I told my clients to avoid. But podcasts are fast, conversational and engaging, so we are liable to use local references without realizing it. Be cognizant of using abbreviations or local references during podcasts and make an effort to explain them, because you don’t who may be listening from the other side of the world.
