Just in case you’ve been living under a rock this year and aren’t seeing the sweeping effects of AI in business right now… Some cool things are coming.  I’m not just talking about air conditioning season or “post-April 18th” season — both will be very welcomed.  I’m talking about massively disruptive and innovative changes to

So, you want to get new clients.  Take a moment to visualize your ideal person. How do they spend their time? Money? What do they care about? What social platforms are they on?

There are stages to a business, and very soon you realize that once you’ve hit six figures in revenue, you can stay in that desert for a LONG time… unless you build with a team. But hiring great people for tax and accounting practices is a monstrous pain in the you-know-what. Some market areas are

With the word recession hanging in the air, it seems only natural to talk about PRICING with you. Specifically, yours.
