“I felt that I’m able to have the most impact in business from an accounting angle, and I mean, really, who I am at my core as a problem solver. That’s what I love to do.”

“So, I mean, I’m not gonna say that a balance sheet and income statement isn’t important, right? It definitely is. But I’m a firm believer that I would prefer to look at what I’m actually doing today to drive a result for tomorrow, and the actions that I can actually change.”
15:14
“Really what I get from that is that I’m able to impact change with clients in such a substantial way, and coming into a business where the client is either marginally profitable, in a lot of instances are working more hours than they ever had before. They’re anxious, they’re stressed out and being able to help that client get to a much better place, and seeing the amount of impact that I can have on someone’s life. Not on just the owner’s lives, but on the employees within the agency as well. It provides me with fulfillment.”

“There’s only so much that I can actually scale to and I was hoping that I’d be able to touch more lives through putting the way that I function and the way that I work with agencies in paper and in writing.”
