Hottie assists young businesses with financial literacy and tax education.

This motivated me to look at engaging with entrepreneurs on how you get funding ready and how you ensure that you are financially literate and compliant with the laws of the land so your business can thrive,”says Hottie. Her audience comprise clients she has business with through interaction in the advisory business as well as followers of her social media platforms where she hosts educational talks.
