Welcome to the sunlight tax podcast

In this show, we’re talking about taxes, money, and careers for creative people who have a big vision for changing the world with their work. I’m your host, Hannah Cole; artist, tax pro, and the founder of Sunlight Tax. If you’re an artist, designer or creative entrepreneur who wants to grow your business sustainably, manage your taxes and build a stash of F***-You money so you can control your time and have a bigger impact with your work, you are in the right place.

  • “Perfect for Creative Small Business Owners”

    Hannah is incredibly well spoken and knowledgeable when it comes to filing and saving on taxes for small business owners.
    She has a gift for putting highly technical information into understandable verbiage and succinct language.

    Incredibly valuable information for a small investment of time!

  • “This podcast is a gift”

    Hannah is a sound voice of reason, information, encouragement, and empathy. These topics are interesting and SO applicable to many different aspects of being a creative professional. She makes me feel valued and invited to participate in issues of money and taxes
    through her candid conversations and topics that are not spoken of enough!

    Her dedication to welcoming creatives into this space feels like such a gift — FINALLY someone who speaks my language, understands the perspective of artists and doesn’t make me feel less than when it comes to finances and taxes.

  • "Pure Undiluted Gold"

    Hannah’s podcast takes the anxiety out of financial education and learning especially within the context of creative entrepreneurship. This podcast feels like you are learning from your friend, except it is also highly informative and generous in ensuring you have the resources and tools to follow through with the education.
    Highly recommend!

  • "We needed this!"

    This is exactly the content I've been looking for: Tax and financial help for self-employed creatives explained in a well-produced and easy to listen to podcast. Love Hannah’s down-to-earth, non-judgemental, yet still matter-of-fact approach to money and taxes for artists.

    Looking forward to learning more and working towards a sustainable career as an artist.

  • “Hannah Cole is a tax superstar”

    I had the opportunity to hear Hannah speak in person last year and came out of her talk feeling capable and empowered.

    Just listened to the first episode today of her new podcast and I got that same feeling of support, understanding and encouragement from listening. And, she makes talking about taxes and money interesting and fun.

Hannah Cole, Host of The Sunlight Podcast

I’m your host, Hannah Cole

I’m a longtime professional artist, and a tax expert, and the founder of Sunlight Tax. When I started my career as an artist, I found it impossible to get the tax and financial information I needed to set up my business right (and I had some truly horrifying experiences along the way).

I founded a company, Sunlight Tax, whose mission is to serve creative people, just like you, who are self-employed, with relevant tax and financial education, so you can bring your unique vision to the world.

I’ve supported thousands of creative people with accessible tax and business setup skills through my program, Money Bootcamp.

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax podcast, I talk about Trump’s new tax law, officially called the “One Big Beautiful Tax Bill.” I break down its key points, how it impacts different income groups, the updates to clean energy tax credits, and what it means for self-employed people and freelancers. 

I also emphasize why it’s so important to understand tax laws, and I encourage you to share this information with anyone who might benefit from it.
