Survey on the Challenges Faced by Neurodivergent Individuals in Managing Business Finances 


Calling all neurodivergent entrepreneurs, founders and business owners! 
I want to hear from you about your experiences of managing your business finances. 

Let's transform the experience of working with a finance professional, to feel more inclusive, enjoyable and useful on your business journey.

You don't need to have a formal diagnosis to take part and I am interested to hear from individuals with other disabilities or conditions which effect their cognitive abilities.

 Share as much or as little as you are comfortable with sharing.

Please read the full details of the study before you respond:
