Your Financial Maven
Your Financial Maven, hosted by Samantha Mittman Besnoff, CPA, is a podcast where you will be challenged to change the way we think about and understand money. It’s important to know your money so that we feel financially empowered and less stressed. As Your Financial Maven I will be bringing you my insights and expertise as well as through my guest interviews. It’s important to think about the psychological aspect of how our upbringing and experiences change how we make spending and financial decisions. I hope you join me each episode as I touch on budgeting, taxes and really anything around money. I’ve spent over 25 years in the accounting world through a variety of industries including public, corporate, and nonprofit. My expertise is vast and that is why I’m known as Your Financial Maven. _____________________________________________ YFM wants to hear from you!
