## Resource

Bookkeeper, accountant, chief financial officer - if you secretly couldn't say where one ends + the next begins, you're in good company. Mine. Karen Gordon is a CFO - the sort that Fortune 100 companies fight over - and she's here answering all the dumb money questions I've been saving up. I ask them in your name, lovely listener - but we both know, I'm asking for myself. We sort out which direction money people are looking backwards or forwards + the moment you'll know you're finally ready for one. Also: Aussie millionaire plumbers get a mention. No book this week - it's a Financial episode, so we're all business.
