Team Changes, New Tech, and Lessons Learned at a Growing Firm
In this episode of the Who's Really The Boss podcast, Marcus and Rachel offer an insightful debrief of their accounting firm's 2024 tax season. They discuss how strategic changes implemented before tax season, such as team restructuring, new hires, and the introduction of new technology, impacted their workflow and client experience. They also share their challenges, successes, and lessons learned, including the importance of investing in team education and adapting to the needs of their clients. Throughout the conversation, Marcus and Rachel emphasize their firm's focus on providing top-quality client accounting services (CAS) and how they have successfully transitioned from a tax-centric practice to one that generates 80% of its revenue from recurring monthly services.
