🎙️ Episode: Bank Feeds Betrayal 

Welcome to No Se Habla Taxes—the podcast where a CPA does her own bookkeeping and sometimes gets betrayed by QuickBooks itself. 

I’m Melissa Armstrong, fractional controller, solo practice owner, and financial translator for founders who’d rather wrestle with client work than with their bank feeds. 

And today’s confession? 

 I trusted QuickBooks’ little green “Add” button a little too much… and for three whole months, it lied to me. 

✨ Adobe as meals & entertainment. 

 ✨ Zoom living under telephone expense. 

 ✨ Contractor payments sitting in Ask My Accountant. 

On the surface? My books looked tidy. 

 In reality? They were misleading, messy, and costing me clarity. 

In this episode, I’ll share: 

• 🚨 Why blindly trusting bank feeds is dangerous for your business 
• 🧐 How miscategorized expenses distort your P&L (and your decisions) 
• 💡 Five practical fixes: rules, memos, reconciliations, and more 
• 🛑 Why “QuickBooks told me to” isn’t a valid IRS defense 

Plus—you’ll meet Marta Spirk, a speaking coach and TEDx speaker helping women entrepreneurs turn their business into a stage for authentic visibility. 

If you’ve ever hit “Add” in QuickBooks just to get it over with, this episode is for you. Clean books mean clean decisions—and messy books cost you more than time. 

🎧 Listen in for today’s confession, a few hard-earned lessons, and tips to stop your bank feed from betraying you.
