Gotta love tax clients…

Want to learn tax advisory and how to acquire a firm?

Audit, private, forensics, CMA. Everybody tells a new CPA to pick the safe one, and nobody mentions what it costs you ten years later.

More than 98% of the firms sitting out there for sale are about 70% tax work. Spend a decade in audit and you box yourself out of your own exit. By the time you want to buy a firm, you do not have the skill the firm runs on.

I have bought five grandpa's CPA firms. I am teaching the whole process in Houston on November 16 and 17. Two days. Day one is acquiring the firm. Day two is scaling it, which is tax advisory, tax resolution and the revenue streams you add on top.

Seats are capped. DM me SCALE.

Brokers will promise the world to sellers and not deliver.

You can still get a good deal buying a tax firm if you just build rapport.

"Clear your schedule." Anybody who has worked in corporate has heard that from a board, a CEO or a CFO, and cleared it every single time.

Pinky was a controller. She has a young kid and she was tired of missing the years that actually matter, so she decided to do something about it. Twenty five days after we started working together, her offer on a grandpa's CPA firm was accepted. Six hundred and fifty thousand.

That is not luck and it is not a secret. It is a process, and I am teaching the whole thing in Houston on November 16 and 17.

Day one is how to acquire the firm. Day two is how to scale it. M&A attorneys on the legal side, SBA lenders on the financing, plus tax advisory, extra revenue streams and AI.

Come get in the room. DM me SCALE.

Growing a tax practice one client at a time is the slow way. Here's the 2 step version.

Buy the clients. Then raise the prices.

Step 1 is a retiring CPA's firm. $1 million of revenue can change hands in one transaction. I've done it 5 times.

Step 2 is what most people never get to. You add tax advisory and resolution to a book that was only ever charging for returns.

The gap is closing skill. A $30,000 a year advisory client doesn't say yes because the plan is good.

Houston, November 16 and 17. Day 1 is the acquisition. Day 2 is advisory, resolution, closing, and AI.

"You'd need a million in collateral." That one sentence stops more people from making an offer than anything else I hear.

It is wrong, and the SBA put it in writing. SOP 50 10 8, Section B, Chapter 1. A loan request is not to be declined solely on the basis of inadequate collateral. Read it yourself, it's public.

Think about how a car note works. The car is the collateral. A business is no different. The business is the collateral.

A down payment is real and you do need one. It just does not have to come out of your own pocket.

I'm walking through all of it in Houston, November 16 and 17. Day one is buying the firm, with M&A attorneys and SBA lenders sitting in the room with you. Day two is what you do once you own it.

Send me the word SCALE and I'll get you squared away on a ticket.

9:01 on a Monday used to mean I was already in a meeting, or answering emails, with a manager asking me where the cash flow statement was.

Now that hour belongs to me.

The thing that changed it was weird enough that I almost talked myself out of it. I bought a grandpa's CPA firm. Then I bought four more. Almost 2,500 clients and 23 people on staff, and I did not have to win any of them one handshake at a time.

If you want your time back, that is the whole reason I did this, come to Houston on November 16 and 17. Day one is how to buy a firm, with M&A attorneys and lenders in the room. Day two is how to scale it: tax advisory, resolution, extra revenue streams, AI.

DM me the word SCALE and I'll send you a code.
