E109: 2025 Predictions for Your Private Practice with Heard CEO, Andrew Riesen

In this episode, we’re speaking with Andrew Riesen, a mission-driven entrepreneur, financial accountant, and CEO of Heard. 

If you haven’t heard of Heard (see what we did there?), it’s an accounting platform built for therapreneurs, aiming to empower therapists as business owners by saving them time on their finances.

In today’s special edition of The Money Sessions, Andrew doesn’t hold back — he gets real about his journey as a business owner, gives his perspective on therapists and financial literacy, and shares his thoughts on how to set ourselves up for a successful 2025. 

If you have questions about the nitty gritty of money and finance as a therapreneur, this is THE place to start.

The challenges he’s faced and the lessons he’s learned as a business owner;

The real importance of financial literacy for therapists (we promise it’s NOT boring).
