Are you saving enough for taxes?
Do you know how much money you should have already put away for taxes?
Does the idea of figuring this out how much to set aside for taxes make you want to hide under the bed?
If you’re unclear about how much to set aside, or if you avoid thinking about paying taxes, then you’re not alone.
A lot of us super talented, highly educated and very competent therapists, tend to be a hot mess when it comes to money, and that includes saving for taxes.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
You are invited to my free workshop, Setting Enough Aside for Taxes (in 5 Easy Steps!), where I’m debunking the common story that it’s hard to know how much to save for taxes! In this free workshop I will help you create a plan so you can face the next tax season with calm and confidence, knowing that you have the right amount of money set aside.
I’m a therapist in private practice turned money coach who helps therapists, health practitioners, and coaches feel calm and in control of their finances, and the creator of the Money Skills for Therapists course.
As the daughter of an accountant, I inherited a good dose of bookkeeping brain. I’m like half therapist, half bookkeeper. So when I went into private practice I dug right into all the ways to build a healthy business that pays for my life and always has extra money in the bank.
I also saw my super skilled colleagues struggle with the money side of business. Some had even left private practice, or were avoiding starting one, because the money side was too stressful.
So I put my lucky combination of people and money skills together, and Money Skills for Therapists was born.
Now I help therapists, health practitioners, and coaches develop peace of mind about their money. Since so many of us were never taught about money, I focus on the ‘how’ of making the financial side of private practice doable, and even super satisfying (feeling competent and calm about your money is pretty swell!)
Are you ready to take control of your private practice finances?
I've been in practice for 23 years and have tried a variety of ways to work with my finances and understanding them... I never was successful at "getting it", but I got this and wish that I had had this at the beginning of my career. It would have made this part of my life so much simpler.
Before working with Linzy I was completely avoidant when it came to money in my business and especially personally.
Like super avoidant. I didn’t even know how much money I made last year.
Now that I've finished Money Skills for Therapists, I’m finally clear on my money goals and what it will actually take to get where I want to go.
Linzy has some sort of amazing magic that makes engaging with your businesses finances fun.
I’m still not totally sure how she did it, but I’ve gone from someone who was super overwhelmed about what to do with my business finances to someone who feels way more grounded and secure in what I’m doing in regards to the money I bring in.
Linzy knows her stuff and is able to present and teach in a way that meets you where you’re at. She provides useful feedback while also delivering in a way that does not make you feel like you don’t know what you are doing! My relationship with money has drastically changed being in Linzy's course. I now have tools that make managing money much less scary and even fun/interesting at times.
I now have practical and viable tracking skills, I have formulas that I can use for deducting taxes, understanding my operating expenses, understanding how to budget better, and skills for considering how to meet the income needs for my business and my salary. I'm also so much more organized with my business money, and the operation of my business.
I am so grateful for you Linzy, for helping me out and listening to me and encouraging me not to hang up or to hide my face when I was crying when we were going over very tough stuff. Right now I feel a lot better and more confident about my business. I have set a budget and every dollar has a job and I know that my money is working for me. Now I’m able to save money.
A big part of my work with Linzy in Money Nuts & Bolts was around making friends with my money and giving it a job or goal to work toward, instead of just letting it sit in my account or dipping into it randomly. I’ve been watching my nest egg grow over the past year. Just a few weeks ago I got a surprise opportunity to move on a new property for my Big Dream—a play therapy center—and I had the capital I needed on hand! It’s pretty thrilling to see my money opening new doors, even a little bit ahead of schedule. I call it the “smile in my bank account”!
Managing money and finances has always been a kind of foreign language to me. I’ve never understood it, I’ve always just avoided it. No one has ever taught me, so both on the business side and the personal side I’ve felt like a bit of a financial hot mess. Now I feel so much more confident in myself and my ability to manage money because now I know the exact steps I need to take.
Linzy is the smartest, most down-to-earth money guru/therapist you’ll ever have the pleasure to know. I went from feeling paralyzed, uniformed and overwhelmed by my business finances to clear, organized and in control. I actually look forward to working on my finances each week, and it’s become something that I do not only to take care of my business, but also for my own peace of mind.
What sets Linzy apart is her combination of being a therapist and having logistical money knowledge. The emotional work that she does is what helped me make the long lasting, sustainable behavior changes. If you don't revise your money story, you're not going to permanently change your behaviors around money.
These are tough topics to discuss with strangers, and Linzy facilitated a place where where I felt safe, so I could celebrate my wins and keep motivated through difficult moments.
I am set to have my highest income month since opening my practice, I moved into my dream apartment, have a trip set for Greece without the usual stress that comes with trips, and I have little to no anxiety around looking at my numbers and making decisions around money.
I feel incredibly empowered. I can't thank you enough!! You changed my world and I am forever grateful!!!!!
Before working with Linzy my relationship with money was kind of awkward. I had a lot of shame. I have a financial background, not only education but experience... and I felt like I had a my head in the sand when it came to my own finances. I felt really ashamed that I had all of this information and I've helped other people run multi-million dollar businesses, but I couldn't figure out how to do it for myself.
Now my relationship with money is more of a friendship. We have a conversation, it feels very mutual and respectable. It's like we're a partnership now, me and money, rather than this thing that I'm just trying to deal with.
I honestly feel excited to go work on my finances. I understand them, I get how it works. It's really amazing to know that I'm working towards real goals.
I've come a really long way since working with Linzy. I don't have the same fear relationship to money that I did. Now I have the ability and tools to catch my money avoidance and manage it.
I have much more faith in myself when it comes to managing money. I feel like it's doable.
My favorite thing about working with Linzy is that I never felt ashamed to say "I don't know", because she's a therapist, so she understands shame dynamics so acutely and was always like "Cool, let's just work it out. Let's just do it again."
Linzy has a deep understanding of the feelings that are associated with money and so the way she coaches is so calming and caring and playful. I never felt like an idiot saying, "Can you show me how to use that tool again for the 87th time?"
