In this episode, Elizabeth chats with Nicole Christie, founder of Alvah Accountancy, tech enthusiast, karaoke queen, and a relentless problem-solver. From dreaming of being a farmer’s wife to teaching herself to code a tax planning tool, Nicole’s journey is anything but ordinary.
We dive into:
The bold decision to start a business in the early days of the pandemic
How being neurodivergent fuels her entrepreneurial mindset
What she learned from building (and exiting) a fintech startup she only owned 10% of
Her vision for AI-powered finance teams that support founders
How she’s using her new firm as a sandbox for tech innovation
Plus, advice on dealing gracefully with late-paying clients, and why she ignored the advice to “choose between being a businesswoman or an accountant”
A funny, fast-paced and refreshingly honest conversation that shows what happens when you combine creativity with commercial know-how.
