Growing Your Firm | Strategies for Accountants, CPA's, Bookkeepers , and Tax Professionals (Accounting,accountant,CPA)

"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 looking for an accountant who genuinely cares about you and the success of your business?

*HERE IS HOW I CAN HELP*
I help entrepreneurs with growing businesses develop and maintain the right financial systems and strategies that release them from the burden of handling the numbers side of their business while showing them how to maximize profit and minimize taxes. At a high level, my services include:
-Clean-Up - sometimes you don't always get off on the right foot when it comes to the financial side of your business. Here we help clean up any mess and set your systems up the right way going forward
-Stabilize - once things are cleaned up and functioning properly, we will serve as an attachment to your team, virtually handling the numbers side of your business and providing meaningful financials that help you, not confuse you
-Advise - once your business hits a certain size, you need more than just a team of accountants giving you the right numbers. You need an outsourced CFO to help you understand everything and give expert guidance.
-Tax Planning - while having a big fat profit is nice, most business owners (myself included) hate to share a rather large portion of that with Uncle Sam. We help you proactively create strategies that minimize your tax burden while helping reach your financial goals

*WHO I WORK WITH*
-Service-based businesses
-Specialty trade contractors

I help right-brained business owners get at-a-glance financial clarity without spreadsheets using the Profit First cash management system.

If you don’t understand your finances, things can go very wrong. You might miss out on opportunities because you aren’t sure you can afford them, you might overpay or underpay your taxes, or you might just plain run out of money before you even notice a problem.

With our proprietary system, we educate and empower you to understand your bookkeeping reports and your business cash flow to guarantee profitability.

Go back to doing what you love in your business and kick back knowing you’ve handled the money stuff like the CEO that you are.

Whether you need a bookkeeper, have a bookkeeper, or ARE the bookkeeper - I can help.

WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE:
Unlike many business consultants, I am not a corporate-world escapee. I know how small business works because I am a small business. Together, we will organize your systems so they make sense to YOU, not just your accountant. You will feel empowered by your new understanding of the way it all works, whether you choose to do the work yourself or outsource.

Once you have clean books, we then look at how to turn the numbers to actionable information. Even if you are terrified of numbers or have mountains of debt.

I believe in a collaborative approach. I believe in empowerment, proactive communication, and mutual respect to achieve your goals.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
"I just did my Profit First allocations for the second month in a row! It is so cool to see the money building up in my tax, profit, operating expenses, and owner’s pay bank accounts. Doing the allocations month by month is much less intimidating to me now … I am really loving this!" – Linda Secondari, Creative Director & Principal of Studiolo Secondari

“Ean doesn't mess around with bookkeeping. Like her company name, she's fulla MOXIE. Which is nice, considering that bookkeepers are a dry, papery bunch. Not Ean. She tells it like it is, with humor and creativity.” - Matt Levy, Partner at Levy's Unique New York!

“Ean is well-versed in Quickbooks and bookkeeping practices. She is passionate about teaching entrepreneurs and small businesses. Her patience and willingness to share her time and experience have been priceless and I recommend her highly.”
- Patricia Warner, Executive Coach at Columbia University

WHAT I DO: I help business owners achieve a referral explosion by teaching them how to execute on a simple, 5-step process to receive referrals without asking, without paying or without manipulation.

HOW I DO IT: I show you how to identify and nurture relationships with your referrals sources plus plant referral seeds in an on-going memorable and meaningful way. This process saves you time in growing your business and allows you to be seen as the expert, not the always hustling salesperson.

WHY IT WORKS: For decades the advice on how to generate referrals has been to “just ask.” But when you understand the human dynamic and psychology behind why referrals happen, you unlock the ability to generate referrals without asking for them.

WHO I WORK WITH: I partner with business owners who build trust and form relationships with their prospects and clients including...
Financial Advisors
Attorneys
Interior Designers
CPAs
Realtors
Coaches/Consultants
Small Business Owners

SERVICES I PROVIDE:
👨🏻‍💻Online Programs (Growth By Referrals, Sticky Client Experiences, etc.)
🙋🏻‍♂️1-on-1 Coaching
👩🏻‍🏫Trainings & Presentations

💡 Entrepreneur
💡 Fox Business

💡 Thrive Global

WHAT OTHERS SAY:
“I received on average 4 referrals a year before starting the GBR program. In our first year on the program, we hit 20 referrals. And now we receive 3 to 4 referrals per month, averaging 40 referrals a year! I had tried other sales programs – demanding I call people, get meetings, ask for referrals – and I would leave almost in tears after every training session, because I’m not a salesperson, I’m a lawyer. The GBR program allows me to be authentic AND have results.” – Katherine Taylor | Attorney and Firm Owner, Taylor Legal

“Before I started the GBR program, I only received about 2-3 referrals per year but now – just 6 months on the program – I have received 7 referrals. As a financial advisor, referrals are the life blood of my practice and because I had received some in the past, I knew I was capable of receiving more. I just needed a process, system to release those hidden referrals. But I just didn’t know how. Stacey taught me how to unlock it.” - David Ferguson | Financial Planner, HF Financial/Mass Mutual

“We average 40 referrals a year but following Stacey’s Growth By Referrals program we have crushed it in our first year bringing in 187 referrals!” - Lisa Woodstock | Co-Owner, Woodstock Media

Both solo and partner CPAs are burnt out and fried from a killer tax season.
They are desperate to get their time back, but do not know how. CPAs who work with me get their time back AND make more money. Most 8x their investment in the first 12 weeks, while cutting their client load.

Fewer clients, greater income.
Here's how:

✅ Shift from hourly to value-based fees

✅ Specialize inside a vertical to increase expertise and stand out from the crowd

✅ Create their Signature Framework to get better and more consistent results over time

✅ Build expertise in a narrow field to become an authority

Many CPAs bring on new clients at double their rate, or get a vCFO clients inside 12 weeks as a result of working together.


When CPAs make this shift, both the CPA *and their client* do better, with increased profitability and enhanced results for both.

Chandler is the author of 6 bestselling books including “Book Launch” and his most recent book titled “Published.”. He’s also the founder & CEO of Self Publishing School, the #1 online resource for writing your first book. Through his books, training videos, and Self Publishing School, he’s helped thousands of people on their journey to writing their first book.

Chandler was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug at an early age. While his friends were off searching for jobs, he was out starting businesses.

He began early (age 11) by selling his personal snacks at scout camp and, by age 17 he hired his friends to help him operate his landscaping business that earned him $10,000 for college. All in all, by age 20 he started and ran over $320,000 in businesses.

During this time, he taught other college students to run their own successful businesses and received the "Entrepreneur of the Year" award from Young Entrepreneurs Across America.

Now he's scaling Self Publishing School, a company he's built from 0 to $7M in 3 years. In 2018, Self Publishing School hit #2,699 on the INC 5000 as one of the 5,000 fastest growing private companies in America. The best is yet to come!

►►► Do you sometimes feel like your business is an adult daycare centre? Are you constantly repeating yourself, fixing errors and trying to hold things together? What if it were possible to create a business that runs itself?

If you're anything like many seasoned business owners, you've tried and failed to systemise your business. The reality is, your shiny business isn't as functional as it looks from the outside; it's unorganised, inconsistent and key-person dependent.

The good news is, I can help.

I run a company called SYSTEMology and we have developed a proven, step-by-step business systemisation framework – designed so that even the busiest business owner can deploy it.

Quite literally, SYSTEMology is the system for systemising your business.

Imagine, your business running like a finely oiled machine where your team members follow the systems and deliver your products and services to a high standard. It’s easier than you think.

We’ve already helped hundreds of business owners like you - so let’s see if it’s a good fit for you: https://www.SYSTEMology.com

And here's a short bio on myself :)

David’s entrepreneurial journey begins back in his early 20’s when he sold Australia’s most love sporting ground, the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Since then, his business experience spans from franchising retail clothing stores, to founding one of Australia’s most trusted digital agencies, melbourneSEOservices.com.

In 2016, he successfully systemised himself out of the business, hired a CEO and stepped back from the daily operations. Through this process he become a systems devotee – founding systemHUB & SYSTEMology. Today, his mission is to free all business owners worldwide from the daily operations of running their business.

Recognised as a high achieving entrepreneur, you will find many of David’s keynote presentations on YouTube including: TEDx, WordCamp and Problogger.

A RADICALLY DIFFERENT WAY OF APPROACHING SALES

Sales is about relationships, and relationships are the new currency.

Selling isn’t about pushing. Or pulling. Success in sales is the result of connecting with authenticity, coupled a willingness to care more about your client than yourself and expertise in your products and/or services.

Sales is my “zone of genius.”

That wasn’t always the case. Like many people, I am an introvert. So, the thought of traditional “selling” used to make me uncomfortable.

Very uncomfortable.

And since my first job out of college involved sales, I needed to find a way to not only “not mind” sales, but also to get really, really good at it – and to enjoy it.

Now, thinking about sales makes my heart go pitter-patter … and not in a chest-clutching, fearful death grip that so many people feel. Instead, there’s a feeling of excitement – because I’ve developed a set of skills that has taken me further than I ever imagined at the beginning of my career.

Today, solopreneurs, business owners, and large corporations hire me to build and/or refine the skills and mindset needed to sell successfully.

No icky cold-calling. No creepy manipulation. No robotic scripts. Whether you’re a subdued introvert or an exuberant extrovert, I can you help build a foundation of skills – and a mindset – that create sales success without feeling pushy or “salesy, and without fear of rejection.


10 WAYS TO BUILD CONFIDENCE IN YOUR SELLING SKILLS

• Connect with me here on LinkedIn.
• Join my tribe of engaged entrepreneurs – the Sales Maven Society!
• Hire me as a keynote speaker for an upcoming event.
• Catch one of my many stints as a podcast contributor.
• Book me for a corporate or small-group sales training session.
• Join one of my live events.
• Get my exclusive attention as a VIP coaching client.
• Read one of my three books.
• Subscribe to my weekly newsletter
• Get my free e-book (www.yoursalesmaven.com/ebook)

READY TO LEARN MORE?

If you’re not getting the sales you need or are feeling overwhelmed, I can help. I’m a sales strategist and coach, a speaker, a podcast contributor, and an author. Helping people just like you is what I do!

Hop over to my website (YourSalesMaven.com), or send an email to nikki@yoursalesmaven.com so we can connect. I look forward to hearing your challenges, and to helping you create sales success in your business.

The Accountant Success Formula™ is the Path to Freedom.

This is the formula I developed in my own accounting practice and now share with accountants around the world.

If you are tired of:

      • The outdated model of trading dollars for hours
      • Working endless overtime
      • Working with unappreciative clients
      • Feeling frustrated that your hard work has unmatched rewards

...then this formula will liberate you.

It is a step-by-step system that outlines the exact strategies needed to make significantly higher profits, attract only the best clients and work far less hours so accountants can enjoy the time, freedom and lifestyle that they deserve.

This is NOT a magic pill or fluff!!!

This is a fresh and innovative approach that is based on solid, proven business strategies that maximizes your profits based on the real value you provide.......not on the quantity of hours you put in.

With the Accountant Success Formula™, I give you my step-by-step proven system delivered by videos, training and one-on-one coaching.

This system will change your accounting practice from a dollars-per-hour, transactional model to a value-based model, resulting in significantly greater profits, high-tier clients, far less work hours, greater respect and appreciation for the work you do, and the time and freedom to create the lifestyle you want.

If you want to learn more about the Accountant Success Formula™ or how I can help you discover a new and better way of doing business, then contact me at Erik@ErikSolbakkenCPA.com.

I am an entrepreneur and cloud accounting professional, most recently as CEO of Reconciled, Co-Founder of Humnly and Co-Founder of BlockchainVT (if you are working on a Blockchain project, shoot me an email at michael@blockchainvt.co).

I've served in a variety of financial leadership capacities, from Controller to CFO. After moving to Burlington, VT in late 2011, I've quickly became a trusted adviser to CEOs and business owners, developing a niche as a part-time CFO. I launched Reconciled in 2015 as my customer's demands for bookkeeping services grew and the technology to serve them online has come to a good level of maturity. We have grown relatively quickly and was selected by Intuit as a 2016 Firm of the Future Runner-up and 2018 US Firm of the Future, recognizing us as one of the most future-ready and forward-thinking firms in the world. I was also selected to serve on Intuit's Accountants Advisory council for 2017-2018.

In order to help more entrepreneurs with thrive in the businesses, I co-founded Humnly to provide on-demand HR services as a compliment to Reconciled's bookkeeping services. I've also become fascinated by the disruption that blockchain technology will have in the accounting industry, hence my interest in launching BlockchainVT.co and am a Blockchain Certified Expert with the Blockchain Council.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED AN ONLINE BOOKKEEPING SERVICE OR VIRTUAL CFO?
As an online firm, we bring financial leadership in all areas of accounting (from Bookkeeper to CFO) to businesses across the country.

Are you running a new or established accounting firm?

Do you feel frustrated because you are not getting the A-Grade, higher value clients that you really deserve and desire.

Are you wasting your time working with clients that drain you?

Or, worse still, do you struggle to even get a steady flow of new clients?

Would you like a proven method for getting 3-5 sales calls a week booked into your diary?

And crucially would you like a way to do this that fits with your personality, and how you want to live your life?

My methods are proven, highly effective and simple - all you need is 5 hours a week.

If you are amazing at what you do, and want to get the higher value clients seeing you as the hero to their business, then I can help.

If you need a proven process, accountability and coaching then my programs - Momentum or Velocity - will be for you.

If you are:

- starting a new accounting or bookkeeping firm and want to leave your day job

- Already working with clients in your established firm but your revenue has plateaued

- Needing to add £100K to your revenue in the next 60-90 days

- Have time to work with 2-3 new clients a month

- Have 5 hours a week to implement

- Are friendly and coachable

Then we could well be a good fit.

I absolutely LOVE helping accountants and CPAs get the Superpowers that drive the success of their business. Your results are my number one priority. My programs come with a guarantee.

When you wake up with your calendar full of messages from ideal clients wanting to work with you, everything in your firm becomes easier.

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

Hi! I’m Ryan Lazanis. I’m a CPA by trade but definitely don’t consider myself a normal accountant. I identify more with being an entrepreneur and I love innovative technologies and disruptive business models. What I’m really passionate about is helping to modernize the old, archaic, traditional accounting firm model. After spending many years in public practice at a small CPA firm, I decided to start Xen Accounting in 2013. The firm was one of the first of its kind in Canada. 100% online, totally paperless, fully cloud-based & leveraging the latest technology to automate processes for the firm and its clients. The firm was comprised of a team of geeky CPA’s, bookkeepers and technologists. We looked at what millennials (employees and clients alike) hated from the traditional accounting firm and turned that on its head to offer a new service in the country.

After 5 short years, Xen Accounting was acquired by Equiom, an international corporate services firm, thanks in part to the tech-oriented, scalable model that had been created. On a personal level, in those 5 years, I also learned a heck of a lot about starting, crafting and running a modern, automated, online accounting firm that provided customers with an exceptional customer and experience and team members with a modern work environment.

Future Firm is an extension of my experience in the world of modern, technology-driven, forward-thinking accounting. With Future Firm, my aim is to help firms think about the future of their firm and to help them adopt a model that’s more geared towards the digital age. Something that’s more automated, more virtual, one that takes into account changing client expectations, is more visible online and caters to the upcoming millennial and Gen Z generations.

I also like writing & speaking on the subject of technology & accounting. I’ve been a writer for Techvibes, featured in international publications and have spoken at various events around the world.

I started in accounting back in 1991, when it just kind of found me. I continued working for other companies for quite a few years, keeping records, preparing reports, payroll (you know, all the fun stuff), but also helping develop new policies, procedures and software implementations. I took night classes at SAIT, going for my Diploma in Business Administration with an Accounting major, where I graduated with honors in 2008.

I established Bottom Line Bookkeeping a year later, giving me a place where I could work towards my personal vision of how bookkeeping should be done. I've always been a bit of a technology junkie, always wanting the latest and greatest, and I could really see the potential for technology to change the way bookkeeping and accounting were approached.

What I love best about this field is solving problems for my clients. I believe in a transparent, collaborative approach to accounting, which helps me identify individual problems they're facing and work together to find a solution.

Where old school accounting really just comes down to recording history, I try to take a more proactive approach, working closely with clients to develop complete business solutions.

Making it easy for clients to "set it and forget it" allows them to focus on what they do best, while I do what I do best.

Attention Small & Medium Businesses and Accounting Firms!

I WOULD LOVE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO CLOUD FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY (CFT) to your accounting clients, your small or medium business, or your employees!
LOVE TO! Not like to, love to.
WHEN I EDUCATE PEOPLE about cloud accounting options, it's always rewarding. For me, for you, for your business and clients.
I AM FRIENDS with many great cloud programs and they are cool and fun. Granted it's fun in an accounting sort of way. Not an intro'ing people to a new craft beer kind of fun, but a "going to make your business run tickyity-boo" kind of fun.
CALMWATERS (aka me) wants to help you and your company learn more about what's out there, what it can do for SMBs and how it can help your accounting clients.
And then I WANT TO MAKE THE CONVERSION PROCESS for you and your business seamless and painless. I will educate all of you on how to get the most out of this great CloudFinTech. I know what programs help with all varieties of small/medium business accounting needs. I know how to implement and use these programs. And I love to impart that knowledge.
CALMWATERS KNOWS THE PAIN POINTS!
Of implementation, of conversion, of fear of new ways of accounting, f finding the time and energy to transition businesses, of those first few weeks of using the new programs.
CALMWATERS knows the beauty and the limitations of CloudFinTech. I won't convert a file if it's not going suit a client. I will be upfront about who isn't going to have a good experience with CFT. And I will let you know who should get on with it now, like NOW.
I AM THE BIGGEST ADVOCATE OF #CLOUDFINTECH (especially #TheFabFour) for SMBs!
I understand each program's limitations and best fits.
I will impart best practices to make the experience smooth.
I know the tricks and tips.
I know how these programs get along with each other and why you will love apps with accounting programs.

So GET ON WITH IT. Call or email me and let's talk about CloudFinTech.

We help CPA firms by providing them payment options that their clients want via an Online Payment Portal – that was Built by CPAs for CPAs”, We provide your clients the payment method of their Choice. Our options are a win for the client and win for the firm as we make sure the firm gets paid quickly.

Personally:
I’ve always thrived in opportunities that offer multi-dimensional aspects of the job in an environment that lets me be a team-oriented, passionate, hands-on coach and leader with an entrepreneurial spirit who drives and delivers exceptional results.

But maintaining the status quo is not in my business DNA. I’m a manager who isn’t satisfied with average. In today’s highly competitive environment, evaluating existing situations and creating new approaches to promote continuous growth means being the point man for new and changing initiatives, taking a calculated risk.

Business acumen and a talent for insightful analysis used to identify key sales metrics, define and measure the sales process to develop benchmarks for growth and drive the organization forward are essential qualities I bring to the table.

I know the importance of cultivating beneficial business relationships and have created strong connections with partners in the CPA, financial sector, government, and Fortune 1000 companies.

Providing leadership through innovation and leveraging the potential of a direct sales force, offering a competitive sales compensation structure, and attracting, developing, and retaining the best talent are essential to keeping a sharp competitive edge and positioning the company for sustained financial health and longevity.

I am open to sharing ideas with successful other thought leaders. Let's Connect.
