Welcome to the P.E.A.R. Project Podcast Episode #17

I had the pleasure of chatting with Valaise Smith, EA, the Founder and CEO of Tried and True Financial Services, where she helps service-based entrepreneurs build financially sustainable businesses through advisory, bookkeeping, and tax strategy. As an Enrolled Agent, author, and speaker, Valaise is passionate about helping business owners move beyond simply filing taxes to gaining the financial clarity needed to lead with confidence. She is the author of Tried and True Bookkeeping for Business Owners: Gaining Clarity and Confidence Without the Overwhelm and is known as the Financial Clarity Architect for her practical, values-driven approach to business growth. Through speaking, education, and advisory services, she empowers entrepreneurs to steward what they build so their businesses support the life they want to live.

In this episode, we discuss…

→ Transitioning from a traditional career path to becoming an entrepreneur

→ Redefining success after being diagnosed with breast cancer

→ Implementing non-negotiable self-care practices

→ Treating clients as people rather than just numbers
