No Accounting for Taste ep16: Viability, scale-ups and toys

It's episode 16! And as Tom points out in this week's show, the podcast is now old enough to buy a pack of smokes, get a railcard or drive a moped.

But burgeoning adolescence aside, this week's episode focuses on the notoriously tricky terrain of startups and scale-ups.

Our special guest is Stuart Budd, the commercial director of FD Works, a Bristol-based accounting firm that specialises in helping entrepreneurial businesses.
