Today we welcome Breanne Mode on the podcast. Breanne is the Director of Client Accounting and Advisory Services (CAAS) at Cbiz.

After a visit to a QuickBooks Connect conference in San Jose, CA, Breanne decided that her flight back was a networking opportunity, instead of her typical relaxation time. Of course, this happened to be the plane ride where taking out her headphones led to a great opportunity for her and her business.

As she sat next to Greg Landers, Managing Director of Cbiz, they built a business relationship that ultimately led Greg to ask Breanne to be his right hand person. Brennane had built a very foundational practice in the interim with 3 employees and approximately $500k in revenue.

After ironing out some M&A-like details, Brenanne joined the Cbiz team as their Director of CAAS and set the table for our conversation today.

They started Cycle CPA at one of the most challenging times any of us have faced, Q4 of 2019 as it led into the testing time of 2020.

If you don’t listen to your clients and find your interests through their struggles, you might never find your niche. It’s also easy to become your own worst critic.

In this solocast, CEO and founder of Jetpack Workflow, David Cristello, touches on compliance. Compliance isn’t dying, but some factors of the artform are going away. 

As technology becomes more present in firms and businesses, some people are fearful that automation and other technological systems/softwares are destroying accounting practices. 

David thinks that this anti-tech mindset is nonsense. Learning more about compliance will help you understand more about your practice and the direction of your business.

As we march closer to the end of 2022, we need to start thinking about what we want to bring to the table for 2023. Let’s face it--we’re not all perfect. We’ve made some mistakes this year, but we prevailed and changed what needed to be changed. We’re constantly adapting and bettering our firms, one day at a time. 

We’ve also made exceptional progress and produced innovative ideas for our firms. 

Now, it’s time to reflect on what we’ve done and see how we can edit, change, improve, or keep working on different ideas within our firm as 2023 inches closer.

In this solocast, founder and CEO of Jetpack Workflow, David Cristello, offers five questions to ask yourself as you prepare for next year. 

Some of these questions will spark mental gymnastics or already seem usual to you. Each question should challenge you to think outside the box and focus on your dedication to your firm.

In this solocast, David Cristello, founder and CEO of Jetpack Workflow, talks about three key ideas you should use to stay relevant in the market during this recession. 

While you might not be able to change what happens externally, you can find solutions internally. It’s time to look inside your business and see what you can do to improve its current state.

If you find yourself stuck in this recession, David offers three areas to focus your efforts:

1. Systems
2. Clients
3. Referrals

Today, the founder and CEO of Jetpack Workflow, David Cristello is back with another solo cast to cover another hard topic that permeates the accounting industry - marketing. 

Most firms grow through word of mouth and thrive because they have specialized packages for a particular customer. This is ideal, but after a while, you need to have a system for acquiring new clients on a regular basis. This is achieved through consistent marketing. 

With a reliable flow of new clients each month, you’ll have more accurate forecasting and can measure your capacity and get ahead on a hiring strategy. 

Today’s episode will cover a few tactics for creating a sound marketing strategy.

Today, the founder and CEO of Jetpack Workflow, David Cristello is reflecting on a quote from Marcus Lemonis, host of the reality TV show The Profit. In the show, Marcus would go into small businesses and assess the three P’s: People, Process, and Product.

He’d determine where the biggest issues were and help the owners make corrections. 

Typically, the people (staff) were great, and when they weren’t, it was obvious they needed to go. If this were the case, he’d advise the owners to get rid of them quickly so the rest of your team can perform at a higher level. 

From there, he would assess how to get their products (which were also usually great) out of the door. This led him to a philosophy that resonates with David and many firm owners: “Look at processes before you look at the people.” 

Oftentimes, confusion and lack of growth within your staff isn’t a result of the people, but a byproduct of a bad process. It leads your staff to a lot of wasted time trying to figure out what needs to be done, on top of all of the other work they are trying to complete. Eventually, burnout is the result.

Today, founder and CEO of Jetpack Workflow, David Cristello is discussing a simple tactic that’s easy to implement and can improve profits but is often ignored—raising your prices.

Raising prices is a sensitive topic and plenty of firm owners struggle with when and how to do it. However, if you aren’t evaluating your prices frequently, you are likely underselling your clients.

However when you implement a new pricing strategy, you’ll elevate profits and your client base and have a better work/life balance as you scale.

In this special solocast episode, David Cristello, founder and CEO of Jetpack Workflow and host of the Growing Your Firm Podcast, discusses the ONE THING you need to do right after your busy season.

The Talent Crunch, also known as The Great Resignation, is affecting nearly everyone in the industry. 

The CEO and founder of Jetpack Workflow, David Cristello is addressing the problem in this podcast. He’ll cover solutions for finding, attracting, and retaining a great team. David believes with the right approach, your firm can find success in this area.

If you work in a marketing agency, accounting firm (or pretty much any service business), you know how frustrating it is to get information from clients.

Clients avoid your emails for weeks. When they get back to you it spirals into a 57-email trail full of questions and attachments. Even then, only half your questions will be answered and it's not clear which items are still outstanding.

It's a big mess and a colossal waste of time.

That's why we built Content Snare.

It makes gathering info from your clients fast and easy.

Think of it like sending a checklist, where your client can answer questions and upload images all in one place.

If they don’t finish everything in one go, it will send automatic reminders to make sure you get what you need fast.

It’s kind of like hiring a new personal assistant that does all the chasing for you, except you don’t have to pay another salary.

It allows you to get back to higher value work, and at the same time makes the process easy for your clients.

On average, our customers spend 71% less time gathering and chasing content than they did before finding Content Snare.

If you're an:

➡ Accounting firm -> Try Content Snare for client onboarding, monthly queries or end of year documentation.
➡ Digital Agency -> Use it to collect website content, images and copy.
➡ Finance or Insurance broker -> Ask your clients to upload all the documentation you need.

If you're not one of these, don't stress. All kinds of companies use Content Snare, including non-profits, real estate, insurance and many more.

Here's why people love Content Snare

✅ The process is *extremely* easy for your clients
✅ All your client info can be accessed in one secure location
✅ Content Snare fits right into your existing workflow

I'm an entrepreneurial accountant and writer specializing in cloud accounting technology. I was honored to be named a "40 Under 40" in the accounting profession by CPA Practice Advisor in 2016 and 2017. I'm also co-host of the Cloud Accounting Podcast (http://www.cloudaccountingpodcast.com), a weekly news round-up for accountants, bookkeepers, developers, and anyone interested in the future of the accounting profession.

Before joining FloQast, I worked as a Manager in the Outsourced Finance & Accounting division of Armanino LLP, California's largest homegrown consulting and accounting firm.

I originally made a name for myself by founding and growing Cloudsourced Accounting, an online bookkeeping service with a mission to disrupt the business models of traditional CPA firms and freelance bookkeepers. The firm was an early adopter of cloud accounting apps such as Xero, Bill.com, and Expensify, which enabled my staff and clients to collaborate 100% remotely. Aprio Cloud acquired Cloudsourced Accounting in 2015.

MD of F3C Advantage Limited where we work with accountancy practices of all shapes and sizes

If you want to get serious about developing Advisory Services contact me

I also hold several consultancy and NED roles with a number of SME’s

I’ve been the New Business Director in a Regional Practice where we tripled the GRF of the office in two years by focusing on an Advisory Led approach.

And an Advisory Partner in a Top Ten Firm where I trained over 100 partners and managers in the nuances and practicalities of client advisory before setting up F3C.

So, I reckon I’ve got a pretty good fix on what clients want from accountants plus a pretty a good fix on what accountants feel about Advisory and why to date so many dabble rather than get serious.

When I was younger, people said I was too creative to be an accountant, and too organised to be a creative. Turns out the combination of those two skills is exactly why I was able to create The Profitable Firm (PF): a creative agency working exclusively and only with accountants.

I qualified as a Certified Public Accountant in the States, and worked as an auditor for the State of Arizona before coming to the UK in 2001. When I moved here, I got a job as an auditor at a local accountancy firm in Scotland, but very quickly got moved to business development and setting up a consultancy division for that firm. I then moved on to managing the European office of a global network of accounting firms, and following that set up PF. (For five years I also ran a successful international wedding photography business alongside the creative agency.)

I now focus my energies on helping inspire and educate accountants on the power of content marketing, which PF uses itself to show accountants by example how this is done.

I love training, teaching, and coaching. I'm always honoured when asked to speak to accountants - and although I like big groups well enough, I prefer the smaller, more focused groups where I can get to know people as individuals, and help them with what's troubling them in marketing. I have presented on a large scale and small scale for organisations including Xero, The Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW), the UK200 Group, BKR International, AccountingWeb, Accountex, and Thriveal CPA Network.

PF is based "everywhere", with a core team working from the UK, South Africa, and the United States delivering outsourced marketing to accountancy firms all over the globe.

I keep my creativity alive with photography, sketchnoting, and writing. I'm now a dual British-American citizen, and (after much travel) I confirm that Scotland is the most beautiful country in the world. I drink copious amounts of black coffee.

My personal mission is to help CPAs and small businesses to leverage technology for their success.

Once a practicing CPA I discovered a passion for technology. After years of churning out tax returns and completing audits I discovered my Hedgehog (see Jim Collin’s, Good to Great) and decided to marry my passions for the accounting industry and technology.

I am honored to be recognized as an industry leader on technology topics impacting CPA’s. This allows me the opportunity to be a speaker at industry conferences around the country. I embrace these opportunities to educate CPA’s on a wide variety of technology topics such as, cloud computing, Microsoft updates and many other topics.

During my journey I have made a number of exciting stops. Notably, as a member of the Maryland Association of CPA’s Board of Directors and ultimately Chairman of the Board. I have also participated at a variety of levels with the American Institute of CPA’s including currently on the PCPS Executive Committee. I am a regular presenter for state and national conferences, discussing technology and leadership topics for CPAs.

I teach bookkeepers and accountants how to utilize tech and automation to create better workflows, systems, and processes so they can run their practice on autopilot, stress less, and save time!

Are you wondering how this became my life?

After being in the accounting world for five years, I struggled with streamlining my practice... I felt frustrated, nervous and couldn't sleep at night because I didn't know where my client work was. I was overwhelmed by all the daily tasks, lost track of work and just couldn't keep up.

I hit a wall and decided to make a change, so I started to automate my practice. I created workflows, systems and processes to help me run my practice so I could scale, take on more clients and provide quality service in the meantime!

Now, I’m a full-time educator. I’m an Asana Certified Pro and my courses have helped hundreds of bookkeepers and accountants LIKE YOU!

I have a background in (lean,cost effective, measurable, value driven) marketing, specifically for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and startups.

I am the CEO of Peisner Johnson, a state and local tax accounting firm that’s been around since 1992. I started with the firm as a staff assistant 25 years ago and has worked my way up to CEO. Currently, the firm has 25 employees and serves sellers in the United States and Canada. 

Since law changes in 2018, state and local taxes have become more complicated so Peisner Johnson has really stepped up to serve their clients as best as possible. The executive team, led by me as the CEO, has implemented new strategies to grow our relationships with our clients. “What’s Next” calls and value-based pricing are just two of the ways we've improved our customer (and employee) experience.

Throughout my career, I learned that growing in your positions means being good at managing your work and managing people, you have to be good at both.

IT'S YOUR BUSINESS. YOUR PROFIT SHOULD COME FIRST.

We serve entrepreneurs and small business owners to grow their businesses, PROFITABLY. traditionally accounting and bookkeeping services are transactional - do the books, prepare the taxes, etc. Numbers in numbers out, and you pay a fee. But what about profit? What if at the end of the day, by working with your accounting firm you actually fattened your wallet? My firm does just that.

Yes, we are excellent at bookkeeping and accounting, but you should expect that from anyone you work with. What makes us different is that we drive profitability in your business.

We are certified in the Profit First method, have direct hands-on experience increasing profits for multiple businesses, and have access to profit specialists throughout the globe. What his means is we have the strategies to make your business more profitable than it has ever been before. And we are ready to do it for you starting right now.

Our commitment to each of our clients is simple. We take the accounting, payroll and tax filing worries off of you, so you can spend your time growing your business. We provide business and financial consulting services.

I help you cut through the noise so the right customers reach out to work with you.


✅ Capture attention
✅ Build trust as the expert in your industry
✅ Grow revenue

It’s hard to stand out and trying to cut through all the noise is overwhelming. It doesn’t need to be this way.

I spent 12 years building a tech company with 2.6 million in annual revenue―one of Inc. Magazine's fastest growing companies.

After selling that company―I looked back and realized I could have done it faster. So I got clear on what actually captures attention and gets the right people to take action. I started helping clients get results and now I’m fulfilling a new mission to help entrepreneurs like you accelerate growth.

That’s where my thought leadership and video marketing program comes in:

➡️ Develop a marketing strategy designed to fit your unique DNA

― Develop a pillar video concept (e.g. podcasting, live shows, workshops)
― Design your marketing engine around 2-3 hours/week of your time
― Identify the ideal places to publish your content LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, etc

➡️ Map out a content repurposing workflow. Take long-form video and create…

― Audio to send to podcasting platforms (iTunes, Google, Spotify…)
― Short video clips for social media (30 seconds - 1 minute)
― Images and quotes for social media
―Written pieces such as blogs for SEO

➡️ Create engaging and shareable video content that makes people say “Wow!”

― Select, purchase and set up equipment and lighting. Build an “always ready” system.
― Articulate your ideas, present yourself as the expert while looking your best on video
― Overcoming fear or imposter syndrome

➡️ Optimize your social presence, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, etc...

― Optimize profiles and banner images
― Deploy best practices, settings, titles, and descriptions
― Know how to grow your audience rapidly, get views and engagement

I’m also a practitioner who walks the walk―I run a weekly podcast and live streaming show and repurpose content across the internet. I regularly book 10-20 incoming sales calls/week

Get where you want to go―faster:

I’ll show you step-by-step how to put the marketing pieces together and avoid the pain of trial and error so you can focus on your business.

― I recently helped a client more than double in size in just over 12 months
― Another grew by $2 million to $9 in the past year
― Someone I’m working with landed 2 new clients in 7 days

I joined Acuity to translate accounting for entrepreneurs. I do that by helping navigate tax and accounting rules and speaking entrepreneur, not accountant, but now most people just want to chat me up about cryptocurrency and blockchain. I run the sales and marketing teams at Acuity where we are trying to see how many entrepreneurs we can help get a handle on their finances.

I like to volunteer in the Georgia technology community and serve on the boards of the Atlanta Technology Angels and EO. I am also on the Venture Atlanta Advisory Board.

I’m a Certified Financial Planner with more than ten years of experience in the tax and investment industries. As the co-founder of Brooklyn FI, I specialize in helping tech professionals and business owners grow and manage their wealth.

After graduating from the University of Mississippi with a master’s degree in Accounting in 2010, I started my career in public accounting. After spending seven years with PricewaterhouseCoopers and Raich Ende Malter, I co-founded Brooklyn FI with my business partner Ally-Jane.

Brooklyn FI stands for Brooklyn Financial Independence. We’ll help you get to where you want to be financially by providing a holistic picture of your net worth and a realistic path to financial success at any life stage. We help clients of all ages - from raising your credit score and paying off student loans to transitioning your retirement savings into your retirement income. We’ll take care of it with our comprehensive financial planning process.

When I’m not in the office I enjoy drinking coffee (lots and lots of coffee) biking to the Rockaways beach and reading classic books – you know, the ones we were supposed to read in high school. I also sailed a catamaran across the Atlantic Ocean. That’s a true story and when we meet in person, I’ll tell you all about it.

If money stresses you out, if you don’t have time to manage your money or if you want to make smarter money moves, we can help. Not only that, but we’ll do it for you with transparency, competence and integrity. If you have questions about your stock options, investments, student loans, credit score or cash flow, let’s talk.

Hey there. I’m Ryan.

I’m a CPA, but please don’t call me an accountant! I much prefer innovative technologies and disruptive business models rather than numbers.

In 2013, I started a 100% online accounting firm called Xen Accounting. A first of its kind in Canada, it was totally virtual, focused on automation and was comprised of a remote team of geeky CPA’s, bookkeepers and technologists.

After 5 short years, Xen Accounting was acquired by a large European corporate services firm, thanks to the tech-oriented, scalable model in place.

I started Future Firm in 2018 to help accountants fast-track the growth of a modern, scalable firm of their own.

And in 2021 I launched, Future Firm Accelerate, an online coaching program that includes a combination of online courses, online coaching and an awesome community of forward-thinking firm leaders from around the globe to help them get to their desired destination faster.

Unrelated to business, I’m addicted to Crossfit, love traveling to remote destinations and was previously an active club DJ in Montreal.

Honing in on its unique and seamless way to pair buyers and sellers, Poe Group Advisors wasted no time going from start-up to an internationally sought-after brand.

What is The Largo Group? In musical terms Largo means methodical. The vision for our company is to offer a methodical approach to accounting and tax services so that the business owner has the key information they need in real time.

The Largo Group was founded by Anne Gannon, CPA in 2016. Anne has 15+ years experience and began her career as a CPA with a big-five accounting firm in Boston, MA where she quickly realized the only winner in the 'busy season' approach was the accounting firm.

As the daughter of a life-long entrepreneur, Anne knew her dream was to make a difference in the accounting world. Anne started her quest to be different from scratch while at home with two small children and also teaching accounting at the collegiate level. To say those days were interesting would be an understatement!

Working as an Instructor of Accounting teaching upper-level accounting and finance courses at Florida Atlantic University and Eastern Florida State College reinforced the fact that most business owners have never been given the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of accounting. And yet, in order to be successful, all business owners need to know accounting fundamentals.

While teaching during the day, Anne began to experiment with how finances could be better explained to business owners. Starting with a handful of small business clients, she began to develop The Largo Group Signature Monthly report, and experimented with the key information these business owners needed to be successful.

The Core Principles of The Largo Group Vision:

Flat fee approach
Financial Analysis Included
Above-and-beyond customer service
Education and Guidance
In the last five years the Largo Group has continued to provide this innovative approach to businesses across the U.S.

Eventhough our team has grown, Anne continues to push The Largo Group to provide the highest level of service and build long-term relationships with our clients.

The Largo Group is truly The Evolution of Monthly Accounting, and we look forward to working with you on your accounting needs.

Hannah Stricker, Founder of Bookkeeping Solutions of Traverse City, knew she didn't want to work under the overlords forever. For 25 years, she toiled in major accounting firms and also a decade in the local sector. But, her destiny was CEO of her own accounting firm and she needed to make it happen. "It's a scary leap," she says and you can't blame her.

Casting out to the unknown shouldn't be taken lightly. For two years she thought about making the jump. At her local firm, it was a 'cushy job' with benefits and a near 6-figure salary. She loved her colleagues, her clients, the work, her pay. All she was missing the sweet taste of entrepreneurship.

Finally, in September 2017, she started her own firm. Before she left, she had 6 months of savings set aside. So, even if she didn't make a dime for 180 days, she'd be okay. Because after 4 months she would know if it would work. If it didn't, she had two months to try and find a new job.

On top of that, she saved $12,000 for office supplies, software, a computer, basically everything she'd need for an office space. Her first few months were nerve-wracking. But, once she covered her mortgage and bills, she settled in.

By her one year anniversary, she had done $70,000 in profit and paid herself a salary of $35,000 (giving her revenues over 6-figures). Her 5-year goal was to have profits of $150,000 with up to $60,000 in salary. However, due to some new clients, she may hit that by the end of her second year!

The growth is impeccable and here's how she organized her services.

Anjali Jariwala, CPA and CFP®, is the founder of FIT Advisors - a financial planning firm serving physicians and business owners virtually across the US. Prior to launching her own firm, Anjali spent over 6 years working with Fortune 500 clients at a top 4 accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and 2 years with a large, prestigious financial planning firm serving high net worth individuals. During her career, she would often share financial advice with family and friends but began to realize that not only did most of them lack access to the best personal finance information but also their busy family lives meant they just didn’t have the time to pull it all together on their own. So, she decided she could make a bigger impact by starting her own firm. Anjali utilizes her expertise in tax and finance to empower her clients to discover and reach their life goals while building a stable financial future.

Anjali hosts the Money Checkup podcast - a semi-monthly checkup that discusses the many facets of financial well-being. She was named one of Investment News Top 40 under 40 for 2019, Financial Advisor magazine’s Young Advisors To Watch for 2020, and Investopedia’s 100 Top Financial Advisors. Anjali has been featured in Bloomberg, US News and World Report, New York Times, USA Today, Business Insider, Investment News, and more.

"Don't want to pay taxes? Easy. Just stop making money."

This used to be my response to people complaining about taxes. Way, way back in the day before I knew the real real about how to leverage the Tax Code to build wealth and reduce your tax burden "at the same damn time".

Now, I know better. Now I know that the Tax Code has opportunities for tax reduction strategies all "up through there".

Now don't get me wrong - the easiest way to cut your tax bill is to stop making money. No money, no taxes. But there's a much better way to still make money and reduce (not eliminate) your tax burden.

After 12 tax seasons preparing income tax returns for everybody from low-income individuals to multi-billion dollar corporations, I’ve decided to switch gears and focus on teaching small business owners how to proactively reduce their tax burden with comprehensive tax planning.

As a Certified Tax Coach, I now help people keep more of their hard earned profits in their pockets and out of Uncle Sam’s hands using the same legitimate, proven tax strategies that "the big guys" use in their businesses.

I help entrepreneurs produce epic results.

I do this by curating high-impact environments to learn, contribute and be held accountable to taking the actions that you say matter.

Communities I impact:

- Thought Leaders who still call themselves coaches, consultants, authors, speakers and facilitators.
- Bookkeepers that want to get free from the job they own.
- Business owners that want to become free and have the business they dreamed of from the beginning.

In 20+ years working with people who run growing companies, I’ve documented how leaders’ roles need to change to meet the demands of a larger organization. This involves Leadership skills, Management techniques and Organizational structure.

CEO Boot Camp is a process to analyze about 35 different systems inside a company taking into account the maturity level of each system, it’s score against best practices, and ranking them based on whether they help or hinder the goals of the owners or investors.

For Companies and Divisions:
I bring the CEO Boot Camp on-site with a program adapted to your goals, stage of growth, and specific situation. I get input from employees then develop a customized approach based on your company objectives.

For Industry Groups and Conferences:
I bring a modified version of the CEO Boot Camp to your event as a keynote, break-out, half or all day session. The audience leaves with a greater understanding of the CEO function and a specific, personalized action plan to apply as soon as they leave the session.

For Economic Development Agencies, Co-Working, Accelerators & Incubators:
I bring a group workshop that meets every two weeks for four hours. In 5 sessions over 8 weeks, we cover most of the key systems growing companies need help with. We use case studies and examples from the group to move the companies forward. These workshops are best when the group is at a similar stage of growth: -Bootstrapped -Start-up -Scale up –Exit/Succession

Summit CPA Group was founded with the goal of helping small businesses make proactive decisions. Our focus has been primarily on digital agencies. Unlike many CPA firms, our Virtual CFO program focuses primarily on the future, not in the past. What is our cash position looking like in two, three, and four months from now? What does our cash look like next week? How much of a cash reserve do we really need? What should our profit margin be and how do we get there? Do we have too much staff or not enough? Which customers or product lines are generating the most profit? These are just some of the questions we help the business owner answer. Our dedicated Virtual CFOs along with a team of accountants work with the business owners weekly to generate a game plan and then work hand in hand with the company to achieve victory. Give us a call at (260) 497-9761 or email me directly at jody@summitcpa.net to see if Summit CPA Group would be a good fit for you and your company.

✔ Are you a driven and/or restless professional who wants to achieve without all the associated anxiety?
✔ Do you feel stuck in a pattern of behavior, leading you to ask yourself “Why do I keep doing that?”
✔ Are you a Financial Advisor, or an Executive in the Hospitality, Customer Service or the Manufacturing Industries?

I help driven and restless professionals and executives become more effective leaders by unveiling their blind spots and discovering why they keep making the same (bad) choices. How? By showing them how to improve their Judgment Quotient (JQ)® — and make choices that are aligned with their values and goals, instead of working against them.

"If you help them see it and feel it, they will fix it."

★ What Clients Say ★
“Krishna explained many hurdles in ways I could understand in order to better work with them. He put faces on these issues that I saw popping up in my life. Once I could SEE these issues and face them, look them in the eyes, I was able to recognize that these animals did not have to run my life.” Vivian Lee Croft

“Krishna’s disposition and clarity help the young managers find the right direction like Moses pointing to the promise land yet his approach feels like the gentle tug from a father’s kind words to a son. That’s a special gift in my opinion. I listen to the folks he is mentoring and hear a difference in their answers. It’s maturity I hear. That’s change worthy of investing in.” Jim Keene, Founder & CEO of KEENE Building
