“As a medical specialist, I spent my 20’s studying and scrimping whilst everyone around me was earning a decent income and building their financial foundations. Fast forward to my 30s where I was finally a qualified medical specialist and began earning and operating a business. I was struggling to make sense of the complexities of my business entities and the confusing advice I had received to date. I ended up in tax debt quite quickly, with no real understanding of the complexities of PSI income or cashflow management.  After engaging Shannon and Daniel, I have been provided with a sense of financial confidence that I have not experienced before. They have helped me transform the way I operate my practice and how I manage my personal finances, resolving the overwhelming anxiety I was constantly living with.”
