  • Awesome content! Glad I found this!

    Love what you’re doing! Thanks for recommending listening to Anna. Her insight was fantastic! The Army sent me to a three day course on bridging the generational gap and she was spot on with a bunch of it as well as really drove home some other things. Got me thinking about our product and how we’re doing with it generationally.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Niching Down to Veterinarians Built a 15X Practice
Q: What have been the most challenging growth points as you scaled since the acquisition?
The interview highlights evolving from a one-person operation to a layered team, hiring and managing staff, and creating a system where the firm can deliver high-value work through scalable processes.
How Niching Down to Veterinarians Built a 15X Practice
Q: What led you to sign up for the Academy, and was it growth-oriented or opportunistic at the time?
Greg explains it was opportunistic—seeking practical business-running lessons not taught in accounting school—and highlights how APA helped him implement multiple wins weekly, contributing to a massive 15x revenue increase after acquiring a small practice.
How Niching Down to Veterinarians Built a 15X Practice
Q: And how can you just tell us how you raise your minimum fees, and what did that do to your practice?
Greg describes identifying non-value clients, removing them, and raising prices for the remaining clients who see real value, which unlocked capacity and improved revenue alignment with value.
How to Get a 4-day Weekend During Tax Season
Q: How did the transformation affect team morale and workload?
Morale improved significantly as staff were relieved from excessive weekend work, weekly long hours, and last-minute rushes; this was supported by clearer roles, better processes, and a more predictable schedule that preserved client service levels without burnout.
How to Get a 4-day Weekend During Tax Season
Q: Do you need to roll out a price increase for your tax clients this year?
Yes. The decision to increase prices is tied to aligning fees with the actual value delivered, and it's important to communicate changes clearly and in advance, with a plan to adjust only when justified by the work and outcomes.
