Disrupt Your Money: Liberation through Financial Education for Marginalized Business Owners

Building Your All-Star Financial Team & Why Taxes Are the Least Important Thing Your Accountant Should Do For You

Meg K. Wheeler Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode of Disrupt Your Money, we flip the script on what your “money people” are actually for—and why filing your taxes is the least important thing your accountant should do for you. Instead of treating money support like an emergency-only hotline, Meg walks you through how building a true financial all-star team becomes one of the most powerful ways to create generational wealth.

And if your brain is already screaming, “Cool, but I can’t afford any of that,” this episode shows you how to start small, use fractional and project-based support, tap into community and memberships, and still treat yourself like the CEO you are.
