THIS EPISODE
Today we’re speaking to Sidney Cachuela, the co-founder and COO of POP Tax, and Co-Founder of POP Business.
Sidney had a well-paying, stable job but decided to risk it all to help start POP Tax. Now, after years of struggle, their business is absolutely killing it — even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
POP is aimed at revolutionising the Australian financial landscape. POP will modernise the accounting industry by moving towards a complete online accounting service that prepares compliance and advisory for individuals and companies. POP is tackling the issues of complexity, affordability, convenience, and engagement between Australians and financial services by providing Australia’s best tax and accounting service – Fast, Easy, Affordable and Engaging.
We cover issues such as:
– Pushing your business idea, even when you don’t have financial stability and your loved ones aren’t encouraging you
– What should working professionals do if they’ve lost their jobs?
– What should a startup do during these COVID-19 times?
– What should businesses do to scale if they’re doing well during these COVID-19 times?
