Happy Thursday, everyone! And to my lucky LinkedIn connections enjoying a 4-day week—Happy weekend! 😊 Here are some valuable tips for all the public practice accountants out there. Let me know if there are any other tips or insights you’d like to see!

It's another one of those introvert moments... In a little over 24 hours I'll be back on stage - a virtual one this time - to officially launch the Accounting Innovators community with Sonia Gibson. And the butterflies are back. 🦋 Have we got everything ready? 🤔 Have we done enough? 🤔 Will people want what we have to offer? 🤔 I don't know. 🤷♀️ I think so. 🙂 I hope so. 🤞🏻 Because everything I've been reading and listening to and all the conversations I've had with people in the accounting space over the last 2 years are telling me that we are solving a problem. There is a sea of information and a lot of opinions out there about what accountants need to be doing to build the firms of the future. The solutions are there. But where do you start? 🏁 How do you make sense of it all? 🤯 Who can help you make the changes you need to make? 👩💼👨💼 We may not have all the answers ourselves, but we know people who do and we are committed to building a supportive and knowledgeable community full of them so we can support each other on this transformational journey 💜 If you're ready to think differently so you can start doing things differently in your accounting practice, I'd love for you to join us tomorrow and tell us what you need to make your next move 👉 https://lnkd.in/gszqnQiA #accountingandaccountants #community #innovation

"You literally saved my company." These were the exact words from my client, Trista.  She said this to me in person with happy tears in her eyes and of course, I shared in those tears of joy. Everything seemed great for the 6 year old company -  ↳ Staying busy ↳ Great customer feedback  ↳ Expanding their product line ↳ Working with big time clients In reality, they were losing tens of thousands of dollars and great employees. She didn't have the time to lead because she was too busy managing. There were no systems in place for sustainable growth. Instead of running from the truth, we began building a better future by: → Identifying 3 high level goals → Deconstructing each goal to tactical  → Setting up SOPs and process documentation → Incorporating automation + outsourced accounting So just like the fireworks going off in celebration of the 4th of July holiday... We celebrated her company hitting 6 figures in 8 months of working together. 

When I first met Dawn W. Brolin, CPA, CFE at QuickBooks Connect back in 2019 (?), she had a team of 11. Since then, she's radically shrunk her firm down to just 3, serving fewer than 20 clients. She makes more money, she's happier, and no one works more than 35 hours a week. Plus she coaches college softball during tax season, so she leaves her office at 2 pm Monday-Friday. How did this dynamo accomplish that? Listen to our episode of the Disruptors. Three of my favorite takeaways: 📣 Unlearn your habit of working long hours. Find something you’re passionate about outside of work. Do it during the week, not just on weekends. This will bring you more energy and resolve to get the work done more efficiently.  📣 When you treat people the way they should be treated, they perform better. Infuse them with grit, confidence, and courage, and believe in them.  📣 Ask your team what’s important to them in work, and make that happen. Make life better for your staff, and they’ll work harder for you.  https://lnkd.in/gSjJTcam
