Being stuck is rarely a skill problem.

Will Hill has worked with tax and accounting firms since 2001 and was named one of Accounting Today's Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting. On Episode 85 he explains what stuck actually sounds like on a first call, and it is not what most owners expect.

In this episode:
➡️ The two versions of stuck: too many options to choose from, and "every change I make just makes me busier"
➡️ Why you should build your new pricing and service mix as if you had zero current clients
➡️ The exact order to roll out a new value proposition without an awkward rebrand
➡️ Why tracking client goals protects your price better than any fee justification email
➡️ The one client behaviour that gets them removed regardless of what they pay

Fifteen years to build a book of business. Under two years to rebuild it bigger.

That is what happened when Emil Abedian, CPA stopped serving everyone and started serving law firms only.

New episode with the founder of Counsel CPAs:

📝 Why he graded every client A to D, then gave the D list away
📝 The shift from clients dictating services to the firm dictating services
📝 How specialization made selling almost unnecessary
📝 The weekly email that keeps prospects replying
📝 Why his bottleneck is team capacity, not leads

Want to use AI in your firm? Don't start there.

David Leary says the number one thing firm owners need to do right now: document your processes first.

If you can't break your workflow down to the click, click, click, click, click, you're not going to be able to automate it. Not with AI. Not with anything.

Document it. Pick one small thing. Get a small win. They all stack up.

Most firms skip this step and wonder why their AI experiments create more stress than results.

Most firm owners say they want to step away from operations. Very few actually do it.

Scott Scarano did. He grew Padgett Business Services in Raleigh to $1.5M, replaced himself in every role, and walked away from the day-to-day. The firm makes more money now than when he was working 80-hour weeks.

Oh, and he became a rapper. Seriously.

In Episode 83 of The Accounting Leads Now Podcast, Scott shares:

📋 How EOS gave him the aspirational org chart that changed everything: he was in every seat, and it took 3-4 years to get out

🙅🏻The guilt of letting go: making more money while doing less felt wrong, and why that mindset is the real trap

⭐ Why Google reviews are still the most underrated growth lever for local firms (his 60+ reviews still drive most of their inbound leads)

📸 The team page trick: two photos per person, one professional, one fun. Prospects loved it

🎤 How rapping became the creative outlet he needed after stepping away from operations

"The next chance I get to build anything, I'm doing the exact opposite."

David Leary went back to the Intuit call center after years away. 10 out of 11 calls were the exact same problems from a decade ago. None of them ever got fixed.

So he had his George Costanza moment. Forget the massive launches, the layers of management, the two-year product cycles. Just build the smallest thing possible, get one person to use it, and learn.

That approach ended up in the appendix of The Lean Startup.

You don't need all the answers on day one. You just need to start building.

Try this exercise this week 👇

Think through the last 7 days. Every tedious, repetitive, energy-draining task you did and write it down.

Now, automate it.

Heidi Ryder says even the tasks that only take a minute here and a minute there add up. Take them off your plate and you will see a change in your business.

The best part? Almost everything can be automated these days.

(Except laundry. Nobody's cracked that one yet. 😅)

22 years inside Intuit. Co-host of the #1 podcast in accounting. Co-Founder of the CPE app that lets accountants earn credits from any content with a play button.

David Leary has seen every wave in the industry. And his take on AI might surprise you: "The procrastinators will be rewarded."

In Episode 82 of The Accounting Leads Now Podcast, David shares:

🎯 The George Costanza moment at Intuit that changed how he builds everything: "I'm doing the exact opposite"
⚠️ Why vibe coding is a double-edged sword: your clients are about to build their own broken apps, and you'll be the one troubleshooting them
📝 His #1 actionable tip: document your processes before you touch any AI tool. If you can't break it down to the click, click, click, click, click, AI can't do it either
💡 Why the custom tool you're building today will be free inside the model three months from now

Building a business can feel incredibly lonely.

Your spouse, your friends, your family? They don't fully get it.
(Unless they're in the trenches too.)

Heidi Ryder says attending industry events was "life-saving" for her. Not because of the sessions or the swag, but because of the people. Other firm owners who actually understand what it's like when you want to burn it all down.

That connection? It takes away the loneliness. And when you're not lonely or uninspired, you show up differently for your business.

If you've been on the fence about going to your next industry event, this is your sign. Go run!

Stopped by the Universal Accounting booth at Scaling New Heights to catch up with Roger Knecht.

If you're a bookkeeping, accounting, or tax firm owner — you're going to want to be in that room.
