Welcome to the Business Growth Trailblazers Podcast! In today’s episode, we're talking about how to stop overpaying the IRS and start running your business like a CFO.
Angela Donahue is an IRS Enrolled Agent, certified AI instructional designer, and founder of Ay Dee Consulting — bringing 33 years of tax, financial strategy, and business coaching experience to solopreneurs, service-based entrepreneurs, and corporate clients who are tired of guessing and ready to get it right.
Her writing lives at the intersection of practical tax education and real-life entrepreneurship. The Sole Proprietor Summer School™ series — twelve books designed to be read independently or as a complete system — walks everyday business owners through the full financial landscape, from startup basics to audit survival, documentation habits, deduction strategy, contractor compliance, home office rules, cash flow leaks, and even the emotional side of money avoidance. Topics may overlap by design; in tax and business, repetition isn't redundancy — it's how the concepts finally stick.
Beyond the series, Why AI Matters for Main Street Businesses helps small business owners understand and leverage artificial intelligence in plain language, and Young Creator Cash introduces the next generation to entrepreneurial financial thinking early.
With experience at the U.S. Treasury, Intuit, and Fortune 500 corporations — and more than 5,000 tax returns under her belt — Angela writes the way she teaches: direct, nonjudgmental, and built for people who never got the financial education they deserved. Her mission is simple — equip entrepreneurs to stop accidentally creating tax problems, build stable businesses, and create the life they actually want.
