Woah! I love this episode. We’re diving in with Mickey Kerr from WellnessFi a book-keeping and tax specialist advising organization that specializes in working with therapists.
We’re going to talk about my $16,000 tax mistake. Back in 2018, I paid over 20k towards my student loans and saved just about 20k for my maternity leave – only to find out, just two months before I went on leave, that I owed over 16k in taxes. Mother Mia! Ay yi yi!
In this episode, I’m going to lay out my finances so that Mickey can help me understand where – exactly – I went wrong and what I should’ve done differently in order to avoid this huge tax mistake that cost me almost my entire maternity leave financial safety cushion.
I made the mistake of not discovering Wellnessfi until it was too late. Don’t be like me! Go to Wellnessfi.com/heytiffany and sign up for your free consultation. If you end up working with them, they’ll do 6-months worth of bookkeeping catchup for free!
In this episode, Mickey will share:
What I could’ve done differently in order so that I wouldn’t have been caught off guard with a 16k tax surprise;
How one small steps can save therapists thousands of dollars a year;
What happens when you have a team of financial professionals on your side;
The consequences that come when we don’t handle our finances;
The top 3 things therapists can do to get their finances right, starting today.

What perfect timing! I haven’t even listened yet – I have been (anxiously) searching for help. In 2018 I had to pay an unexpected additional $15K PLUS put $15 in a retirement account in order not to have to pay additional taxes…now I am going to listen…Thanks for this Tiffany
WHOOOT Fran! Let me know what you think after you listen. 🎉
I just loved Mickey. He may just be my next husband! He was so humble and shared so freely! Thank you Tiffany for be transparent with your tax misstep. This was a much needed convo!
HA! I’ll make sure to pass on the message, Raye! I’d love to know what action step YOU have coming after listening to this episode.
