Peek Inside an $8.5/Year Remote Accounting Firm

3 Disruptive Business Models for Accounting Firms

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.

The "Hidden in Plain Sight" Growth Channel that Helped this Firm Owner Grow 75% YOY (for five years straight)

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.

How to Start an Accounting Firm and Bank 6-Figures Your First Year

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.

Too Good to be True...20k Followers on TikTok for Tax Advice?

"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. https://www.instagram.com/themillennialtaxpert https://www.facebook.com/themillennialtaxpert https://www.themillennialtaxpert.com/taxtalk [email protected]

Three Reasons Management is Hard

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 Connect with me directly [email protected] Since I'm on email more consistently.

How to Manage a 10 Person Firm Without Burning Out

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.

How to Get Referrals Without Asking

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 READY TO TALK?

The 6 Little White Lies CPAs Tell Themselves

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.
