In this episode of the Sunlight Tax podcast, I dig into the real impact of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services on spending habits and financial health. These “pay-later” plans may seem harmless, but they can quietly lead people, especially young consumers—into cycles of debt and financial stress. I break down how BNPL changes the way we think about money, what the long-term risks are, and why financial education is one of the most effective tools for protecting yourself. Research shows that learning even the basics of personal finance can save you tens of thousands of dollars over your lifetime.

Being efficient will save you time, and since we only have so much time each and every day, you want to make sure you are maximizing all the efficiencies you can in your business.

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I'm diving into the One Big Beautiful Act, a major tax law that passed this summer. I found a great, nonpartisan article from the Brookings Institution and the Tax Policy Center, and with the authors' permission. It's called “When Tax Laws Defy Public Opinion: What OBBBA Reveals.” The piece lays out the short-term wins of this law, but also the long-term effects on things like healthcare and our social safety net. What really struck me is the gap between what people want and what lawmakers actually do, and how much wealth drives those decisions. For me, the big lesson is that we need to frame fiscal issues in ways that connect with the public, and ultimately, push for campaign finance reform to get legislation that reflects real public priorities.

How much time do you spend thinking about what other people are thinking, specifically, what you think they're thinking about you? I want you to be honest. How many times have you changed your behavior, dressed a certain way, bought something, or taken (or not taken) an opportunity because of what you imagined someone else might think? Your parents. Your boss. Your kids. Your partner. A neighbor. That colleague at the office. Even strangers. If you're like most of the accountants and professionals I coach, the answer is: a lot. And it's exhausting.

In this episode, Frankie Tortora and Steve Folland have a chat in response to a question from photographer Victoria Phipps. She says:“Hi Frankie and Steve!I'm a photographer specialising in analogue family photography (as in film, from the olden days when we were the kids!)… maternity, newborns, families etc.I've been in business for 15 years and have often struggled with the concept of “speculate to accumulate” when it comes to business growth. Or in the case of freelancers — personal growth!Do you subscribe to this theory? Obviously as freelancers we don't often have the big budgets that larger corporations have to play with, so decisions around investing in further professional education, coaching, fancier equipment etc. take a bit of thinking about. It's sometimes hard to know what will ‘move the needle' in your business.Do you have a set of rules you apply when making decisions like this or do you follow your gut? Do you have any examples of times when the outcome of an investment in your own business growth has made it worthwhile? Or times when you've got it totally wrong and thrown your money down the drain?!Victoria”What would your advice be?

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax podcast, I reveal the #1 habit that sets successful freelancers apart: consistent saving.

Whether you're just starting out or have been self-employed for years, you'll learn how to take imperfect but powerful action toward your financial goals and harness the power of compound interest to create a more secure future. If you've ever felt behind on saving, this episode will give you the motivation and strategy you need to start today.

Let me ask you something. How often do you find yourself in the middle of a negative emotion like stress, frustration, guilt, loneliness, or even boredom, and instead of just feeling it, you immediately start trying to escape it? Maybe you scroll through your phone, grab some chocolate from the pantry, or you dive into another spreadsheet at work, even though you're already exhausted. Maybe you negotiate with yourself by saying something like, I'll just do this one thing to feel better, and tomorrow I'll get back on track. How familiar does this sound to you? If you're thinking, How did you know what I was thinking, I want you to know that you're not alone. Almost every client I work with, especially the high-stress professionals like CPAs, tax preparers, bookkeepers, lawyers, and business owners, struggles with negative emotions. And I want you to know, nothing has gone wrong. Negative emotions are not only normal, but they are also part of the full human experience. But the way you handle them? That's where everything changes. And today, we're going to talk about how to stop letting negative emotions run your life, and instead, how to manage them in a way that gets you closer to the life you actually want.

She says:“Hi Frankie & Steve!I'm Sophie — a creative mentor and workshop tutor at West Plum Studio.

This week on the Sunlight Tax podcast, I break down the biggest misconceptions about professional accounting services and explain why relying on tax preparation alone doesn't give small business owners or creative entrepreneurs the full value they need. I talk about the importance of proactive tax planning, bookkeeping, and year-round financial strategy, and why high-quality accounting services can feel expensive but are worth the investment. That's exactly why I created Money Bootcamp, a comprehensive course package and bookkeeping setup training for freelancers, sole proprietors, and solopreneurs. It helps get you set up right for taxes, tracking the right things, and growing a giant pile of money without wasting your time. Also mentioned in this episode: 01:00 Understanding the Value of Professional Accounting 02:19 Common Misconceptions About Accountants 03:43 What You Don't Get with Tax Preparation 06:55 The Costs of Quality Accounting Services 11:40 The Need for Accessible Financial Education 13:49 Money Bootcamp If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

Or maybe it's when a friend invites you to something you don't want to do, but you say yes because you don't want to disappoint them. Saying no often feels uncomfortable, almost like you're letting someone down or being selfish. But what if I told you that saying no could actually be easy? That saying no can be one of the most powerful tools you use to protect your time, your energy, and your mental health?

Do you ever catch yourself standing in front of the fridge or pantry, not because you're hungry, but because you're bored, stressed, or just want a break from everything going on in your life? Maybe you've had this thought: “Why can't I just eat like a normal person?” I hear this from my clients all the time, especially high-stress professionals like accountants, lawyers, and business owners. People who can handle complex projects, manage other people's money or businesses, and make huge decisions every day. Yet when it comes to food? It feels like it's the one area that's out of control. Today, I want to help you understand why you overeat, and more importantly, how you can stop, without relying on willpower. Because the solution isn't about discipline or “eating less.” It's about understanding what's really going on in your brain, the root cause, and learning how to process emotions instead of numbing them with food.

If you're self-employed or running a small business, saving for retirement doesn't have to be complicated. One of the most powerful but often overlooked tools available is the SEP IRA—a plan designed to help business owners put away significantly more than a traditional IRA, while also providing tax benefits. Jeremiah and Nic walk through the ins and outs of SEP IRAs. You'll learn how they work, who qualifies, and why flexibility makes them a great option for many entrepreneurs. From contribution rules (up to 25% of wages, capped at $69,000) to employee eligibility requirements, they break down what business owners need to know—whether you're trying to reduce taxable income, reward loyal employees, or simply build your own retirement nest egg. You'll also hear why SEP IRAs can be easier to manage than a 401(k) and how employees benefit from immediate vesting and full control over their investments. Is a SEP right for you?

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax podcast, I break down the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and what it means for taxpayers like you. I explain the campaign promises written into this bill—including the “no tax on tips” provision, the “no tax on overtime” benefit, and the new deductions available for seniors. My goal is to help you clearly understand how these changes may impact your taxes, your income, and your financial planning. If you want to stay ahead of new tax laws and make the most of these opportunities, this episode is for you. Also mentioned in today's episode: 03:13 Campaign Promises and Tax Deductions 06:15 Understanding the No Tax on Tips Provision 19:52 Exploring the No Tax on Overtime Provision Takeaways The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was passed on July 2nd. The bill includes several campaign promises related to tax deductions. A new higher standard deduction for seniors is introduced. The no tax on tips provision benefits higher income tipped workers. Only qualified tips are eligible for the new deduction. The no tax on overtime provision allows deductions for overtime pay. The deductions expire in 2029, providing limited time benefits. Tax equity is a significant concern with the new provisions. The bill's provisions are retroactive to January 1, 2025. If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

Entrepreneurs often find reasons to delay taking the leap and going all in on their business. One of the most common excuses? Insurance. Insurance can feel like a luxury, especially when you're only dedicating 10-15 hours a week to building your business. It seems out of reach, and understandably so. But when I went all in, committing 40-50 hours a week to my business, I gave myself a $30,000 raise. Today, I want to give you a clear understanding of insurance and encourage you to see that it may not be as out of reach as you think.
