The ADHD Business Owner's Financial Chaos Audit (Free Download)
Let me ask you a question: How much money did your business make last month?
Now the harder question: How much did you spend? And on what?
If you're stammering right now, you're not alone.
You're brilliant at what you do. You're making money. Your clients love you. But your financial systems? They're held together with duct tape, prayer, and a vague sense of dread every time you open your bank account.
And that chaos is costing you more money than you realize.
The ADHD Tax Is Real (And It's Expensive)
Here's what most ADHD business owners don't understand: your executive dysfunction isn't just making your life harder. It's actively draining tens of thousands of dollars from your business every single year.
I'm talking about:
Work you completed but forgot to invoice
Subscriptions you're paying for but never use
Hours lost to searching for files and recreating work
Opportunities missed because you forgot to follow up
Late fees, rush charges, and panic spending
Bad decisions made when you're too overwhelmed to think clearly
This is your Annual ADHD tax—the real cost of running a business without ADHD-friendly systems.
And I guarantee it's higher than you think.
Why I Created the Financial Chaos Audit
Because you can't fix what you can't see.
Most ADHD business owners know something is wrong. They feel the chaos. They sense money slipping away. But without concrete numbers, it's easy to minimize the problem or convince themselves they'll "get organized next quarter."
The Financial Chaos Audit changes that.
It's a comprehensive worksheet that walks you through the seven major ways executive dysfunction bleeds money from ADHD-run businesses. For each category, you'll calculate the actual dollar amount you're losing.
By the end, you'll have a number that's impossible to ignore: Your Total Annual ADHD Tax.
When one of my clients completed this audit, she discovered she was losing $47,000 a year. Work she never invoiced. Subscriptions she forgot about. Hours wasted on chaos instead of revenue-generating work.
She thought her problem was "I'm a little disorganized."
The audit showed her the problem was "I'm losing enough money every year to hire a full-time employee."
That clarity changed everything.
What's Inside the Financial Chaos Audit
This isn't some generic business assessment. Every question is designed specifically for ADHD brains and the unique ways executive dysfunction shows up when you're running a business.
The Seven Financial Leak Categories:
1. Forgotten Money (~$5,000-$50,000/year)
Uninvoiced work sitting in your project folders
Uncashed checks in a drawer somewhere
Refunds you never requested
Overcharges you didn't catch
Expired credits and unused account balances
2. The Subscription Graveyard (~$3,000-$15,000/year)
Software you set up with such hope and never opened again
Duplicate tools doing the same thing
Services you meant to cancel six months ago
Premium versions when you only needed free
3. Time Hemorrhage (~$20,000-$100,000/year)
Hours spent searching for files and passwords
Work you have to redo because you can't find the original
Processes you reinvent every time because you never documented them
Your hourly rate × all the hours lost to chaos = staggering numbers
4. Reputation Tax (~$10,000-$75,000/year)
Clients who didn't return because you were unreliable
Referrals that never came because people can't trust you'll deliver
Premium rates you can't charge because you're "talented but chaotic"
Opportunities missed because you forgot to follow up
5. Panic Premium (~$8,000-$30,000/year)
Rush fees because you forgot deadlines
Expedited services because you need it NOW
Late fees, interest charges, penalties
Overpaying contractors who can start immediately
6. Decision Fatigue Drain (~$15,000-$60,000/year)
Bad hires made in desperation
Wrong tools purchased because evaluation felt overwhelming
Opportunities passed on because analysis paralysis
Expensive choices just to get decisions off your plate
7. Energy Leak (~Priceless but real)
The 3am anxiety about what you're forgetting
Shame spirals that kill creativity
Mental load of keeping everything in your head
Impostor syndrome because "successful people don't operate like this"
For each category, the audit gives you specific questions and prompts to calculate YOUR numbers. No guessing. No minimizing. Just reality.
How the Audit Works
Step 1: Download the PDF Get the Financial Chaos Audit worksheet (it's free).
Step 2: Gather Your Info You'll need: bank statements, subscription list, calendar, and about 30 minutes of uninterrupted time (or longer if ADHD - I get it).
Step 3: Answer Honestly Work through each of the seven sections. Be real with yourself. The numbers might be uncomfortable, but they're the truth you need.
Step 4: Calculate Your Total Add it all up. This is your Annual ADHD Tax - what your disorganization is costing you every single year.
Step 5: Decide What's Next Armed with clarity, you can make a real decision about what to do.
What Happens After You Complete the Audit?
You'll have a number. A real, concrete, impossible-to-ignore number showing what your executive dysfunction is actually costing your business.
Then you have three options:
Option 1: Do Nothing Keep operating the way you have been, now knowing exactly what it costs you every month. (Not recommended, but it's your choice.)
Option 2: DIY It Use the audit to prioritize what to fix first and build your own ADHD-friendly systems. Some people just need the wake-up call.
Option 3: Get Professional Help If your ADHD Tax is costing you $30,000, $50,000, $75,000+ per year, it might make sense to invest in fixing it properly and permanently.
