We are delighted to announce that we will be sponsoring the Tax Able podcast, which is written and presented by our own Tash (Natasha Heron). As one of our team of friendly experts, Tash gives you a valuable yet manageable insight into how some of the key taxes work and empowers you to make better decisions and know when to seek advice. Her enthusiastic approach to tax transforms it from the traditional dry, dull and depressing topic best avoided by everyone who doesn’t wear a bowler hat, to a living part of your everyday life and how it affects you. That is the friendly part of friendly expertise.

Natasha said: “It has been a dream of mine to start a podcast about tax so I couldn’t be happier that this project is finally coming to life”.

There are 12 episodes in the first series of Tax Able – “Back to Basics” and the first 7 topics that Tash will be coving are:
