poe recommends that firm owners start planning for an eventual sale well before they’re ready to leave. “i think the biggest mistake that i see often is they don’t do any planning,” poe says. starting the planning process three to five years ahead gives firm owners time to change things, including getting alignment on the timetable and price with other partners, which may be a tricky issue.

dawn brolin, cpa, cfe, intentionally shrank her firm, powerful accounting, from 11 to three team members, the opposite of the way most firms grow. she also drastically cut her client list, while nearly tripling her fees from a select group of just 19 clients.
“i decided i wanted to change my life,” brolin says. “i want to change my staff’s life. and i want to change the way my clients work with me where they weren’t worried about getting a bill because they called me and asked me a question.”

part of that change in dawn’s life was her passion for coaching college softball, where she serves as the team’s designated motivator. because softball season overlaps with tax season, she leaves the office at 2 pm, five days a week. no one in her firm works more than 35 hours a week.
stringent ethical oversight and proactive regulation are needed as ai becomes more integrated into daily life.

their conversation sheds light on the history of ai in accounting, the distinction between different types of ai, and the implications for professional ethics and regulatory standards.
“generative ai is different than machine learning, but machine learning has been in the accounting space for a long time,” says mason, the ceo and founder of high rock accounting. “our code of ethics should be considered at every point in time, and we need to understand the tech, review it, and manage it appropriately, making sure that we’re ahead of the regulatory environment and we’re advising on what it looks like for the future of our profession.”

what would an accounting firm look like if you had never worked in public accounting? because nicole davis, cpa, and jw davis, a registered investment advisor, didn’t follow the traditional path to firm ownership. they reimagined what a firm could look like, starting from a blank canvas instead of the regimented, structured, paint-by-numbers design of traditional accounting firms.

nicole is the founder and principal of butler-davis tax & accounting in the atlanta area, while jw is the ceo.
like many disruptor-led firms, jw explains that ”one of the really big things we focus on was work-life balance.” nicole adds, “if your culture is one of stress and long hours, then you really need to rethink your business model.”
let ai do your heavy lifting. focus on delivering client value.
