Welcome back to No Se Habla Taxes — the podcast where a CPA does her own bookkeeping... and finds financial skeletons in her closet.

I’m Melissa Armstrong: fractional controller, solo practice owner, and your favorite financial translator for founders who’d rather invest in growth than leak money on duplicate apps.

And today? I’m here with a confession that might sound familiar...

💀 I discovered a subscription graveyard lurking in my books — two Canva accounts, duplicate Zoom charges, a forgotten Dropbox, and more.

It started as a simple month-end review in QuickBooks Online… and ended in a digital horror story.

In this episode, I walk you through:

✨ How I realized I was paying twice for the same tools

✨ Why these “just $15” charges quietly wreck your budget

✨ A simple, CPA-approved audit method to catch and cancel the chaos

✨ The real cost of cluttered expenses — beyond the dollars

You’ll also meet my incredible VA, Nicole Leon of El Leon Virtual Assistants, who helps founders get out of the weeds with emotionally intelligent support. (Trust me, she’s a lifesaver.)

And yes — I’m giving you a step-by-step system to run your own Subscription Audit, including:

📌 How to pull and categorize your charges

📌 Spotting duplicates like a financial detective

📌 Ruthlessly cutting the noise

📌 Setting a quarterly reminder so it never happens again

💡 Bonus Tip: I even shout out a virtual card trick that makes cancelling sneaky subscriptions a breeze.

If you’ve ever said “It’s only $15, what’s the big deal?” — this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen now to clean up your own subscription graveyard.
