LEARN TOP ECOMMERCE ACCOUNTING AND CASH MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES ►

When you are running a 7-figure eCommerce business, you need clarity and confidence in your finances in order to make informed business decisions so that you can grow your business.

Many sellers obsess over top-line revenue when they should be obsessing over their profit margins and cashflow.

It doesn’t matter how great your sales numbers are if you are losing money on each order.

Therefore, knowing your profit margins is key to staying in business for the long haul.

Here are 5 actionable strategies for improving your profit margins:

❶ Get clear on your most and least profitable products

❷ Reduce unnecessary operating expenses across the board

❸ Create a strategy for improving profit margins for your least profitable products

➍ Maximize sales from your most profitable products

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I originally made a name for myself by founding and growing Cloudsourced Accounting, an online bookkeeping service with a mission to disrupt the business models of traditional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.

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.

**In an attempt to keep my LinkedIn contact relevant, if you send an invite to connect with me, please include a note as to how we are connected. No offense, but random recruiters, financial managers and coaches won't make the cut if we haven't met. THANKS!**

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!

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.

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’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.

Some would consider Brannon, the head coach of accountants. He knows the key plays. The calls. The drills. But most of all, he knows how to help accountants win! For more than 20 years, Brannon has worked in the accounting field, with the last decade focused on assisting accountants in writing their next chapter in life by navigating how to buy and sell accounting firms successfully. He is also the creator of Accounting Practice Academy, an online course that is transforming accountants on how they run their practice.

After graduating from the University of South Carolina’s prestigious Darla Moore School of Business, Brannon entered the accounting world with international giants Ernst & Young and Elliott, Davis & Company. The Greenwood, SC native, quickly realized his entrepreneur spirit and, in 1995, became a partner in a plumbing distribution business. A few years later, he dove into the manufacturing industry and then sold his interest to pursue his own business.

Brannon started brokering accounting firms in 2003 with a vision to build the best possible accounting brokerage firm in North America and opened the doors of Poe Group Advisors shortly thereafter. 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.

Brannon has built a team of specialists, with offices throughout the U.S. and Canada, dedicated to bringing the best terms to the table and ensuring a pleasant experience, making Poe Group Advisors the service leader in the accounting brokerage industry. With nearly two decades of successful accounting practice sales, Brannon and the entire team at Poe Group Advisors provide unmatched resources, insight and knowledge. Since Brannon founded Poe Group Advisors, together with his team, they have facilitated the sale and purchase of more than 400 accounting firms.

Recognizing that he was sitting on a plethora of knowledge, Brannon published “Accountant’s Flight Plan” in 2010. Filled with practical, time-tested strategies, Brannon’s manuscript has become one of the most popular books on the market for accountants wanting to level up. In 2016, Brannon followed up his first book with “On Your Own!: How to Start Your Own CPA Firm”.

Due to his thought-leadership, Brannon continues to be featured by the AICPA and CPA Canada, the world’s largest member associations representing the accounting profession. He has published numerous blogs, podcasts and articles. To learn more about Brannon, visit https://poegroupadvisors.com/about/our-team/

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.

"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.

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

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.

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

WHERE YOU'VE SEEN ME:
💡 Entrepreneur
💡 Fox Business
💡 Investor’s Business Daily
💡 Forbes
💡 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.

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.

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.

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.

Taxes are annoying. Finances can get complicated. Especially, when you're a full time traveler living and working out of your RV or luggage bag. There's a lot of grey area for folks like us.

I'm a digital nomad CPA. I've been traveling the US and abroad out of a backpack, campervan, and now RV. I get the lifestyle of always being on the move.

Let's work together to get your unique situation figured out, so you can carry on to your next adventure.

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.

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. Thanks to cloud technology tools like Quickbooks Online, small businesses can now afford bookkeeping & CFO services remotely. If you want to spend your time focusing on what you do best and let me and my team do what we do best, don't hesitate to reach out.

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.
