V.OLT Weekly

Vanessa Olt

V.OLT Weekly is a short, personal look at the business side of creative work. ~ Hi, I'm Vanessa Olt, a business consultant and accountant for the creative industry, based in Berlin. Each week I recap what happened, what I learned, what's on my mind. Structured by Kalenderwochen, because that's just how my brain works ;) For freelancers, studios and self-employed creatives in Germany and beyond. Think of it less like a podcast and more like a voice memo! ~ This podcast is not tax, legal or financial advice. General info based on my own experience, not tailored advice for your specific situation.
