I speak to a lot of my influencer friends and they don’t know a lot when it comes to finances. The knowledge I’ve acquired comes from Nordens and its educational resources. Hold tight Darren, hold tight Mitch, and all the crew who have genuinely helped me so much. Of course, more can always still be done especially right across the accountancy industry. I’ve said this to Nordens that the social media industry is desperate to acquire this knowledge and progress it forward from its infancy, cowboy-like era it’s currently in. There’s so many little rules and pieces of legislation that the average person doesn’t know about.
I’m lucky that Nordens have a specialist team for those within the creative and media sectors, so they have the experience needed to deal with my finances. Nordens are definitely ahead of the game and I can’t commend them enough.
