Tax Advice You’ll Actually Use (Without Falling Asleep) | WL Podcast #1 ft. Accountant Elliott Hails

In our first ever episode, we’re joined by chartered accountant Elliott Hails to talk about everything from setting up your business properly to avoiding the most common tax mistakes. We chat about the latest budget, myth-bust some dodgy advice from TikTok accountants, and get into the kind of stuff you’ll actually find useful (without nodding off).

Of course, it wouldn’t be the WL Podcast without a bit of chaos — so expect blind rankings, dodgy lyrics, “Am I the Asshole?” debates, and plenty of nonsense along the way.
