Firmly Profits

I am a fractional CFO that provides law firm owners with confidence to make strategic financial decisions in their firms. As a former law firm administrator I have the real world firm experience to know how a law firm runs day to day. 

I provide bookkeeping for law firms and small businesses in a way that gives you data to make financial decisions about the future of your firm.

With the mission to reach as many law firm owners as possible and give them financial confidence, I have appeared on many podcasts and pursue other speaking opportunities.

As a fractional CFO I use the 10+ years I spent working IN a law firm to help law firm owners gain an in-depth understanding of their firm’s financial picture. 

I am on a mission to help law firm owners become confident in their law firm finances. When firm owners have big financial goals, the first step to reaching those goals is making strategic financial decisions.

I started as a legal assistant and worked my way up through the “law firm ranks”. I know how a law firm runs day to day. When you hire me as your fCFO I bring my financial expertise and my law firm operational experience to our meetings. 

I love working with law firms because they are unique in the small business world. Revenue can be a roller coaster and expenses are unique to law firms. 

I work with law firm owners who are in all different growth phases. This includes.

•	Firms who are hiring their first employees and making the jump from a true solo firm to a firm that has growth in their future. 
•	Firms that are pushing towards their first 7-figure year, hiring associates, and taking their expenses to the next level. 
•	Firms that have reached the big 7-figure milestone and are looking to grow in the coming years. 
•	Firms that are generating revenue but feel overwhelmed with expenses and very little profit. 
•	Firm Owners who are looking for an outside consultant to give them confidence in their finances. 

As a fractional CFO for law firms, I improve financial operations by providing strategic financial guidance, managing cash flow, and analyzing financial data to identify opportunities for growth and improvement.

When we work together you receive my unique consulting style. I believe education never stops. We should always be seeking to learn more about the world around us. From a “consultant” perspective, I believe it is my role to be the educator. I want those I work with to understand the WHY behind why we do what we do.

Understanding the “why” prepares you as a firm owner to continue to make strategic financial decisions in the future.

As we work together guiding your firm into the future, I want to give you the information for you (and your leadership team) to make the best decision. This is not a one size fits all approach.

If you are a law firm owner who is looking to feel more confident in your financial decisions as you reach and exceed growth goals this year we need to talk. Send me a DM or visit my website to schedule a free 30-minute consultation.

Zihmer Law Firm

I focus on marketing, systems, and leadership at the law firm. 

I created a multiple 7 figure Google Ads campaign for estates and trusts. 

I’m committed to non-attorney sales for law firms. 

I strive to move our firm away from the commoditization of estate planning through an intentional focus on value and product differentiators. 

I love using my engineering background to design better ways to do our work (and to focus on making what we do repeatable). We strive for efficiency and effectiveness while utilizing automation and a team delegation framework. 

I love teaching our people and helping them grow. I want people to become their best self, but I can’t wait it more than they do. 

I’ve created a world class delegation framework that when coupled with accountability and coaching conversations allows you to truly empower your team. 

…and I get to do all of this with my amazing wife, Tracy!

Vice President

Vertex League

I founded Vertex League to help estate planning law firm owners build profitable, scalable firms that support the life they actually want to live.

We focus on the three core drivers of a high-performance firm:
Marketing – so you can attract consistent, high-quality clients
Systems – so your business runs without constant input from you
Leadership – so you can step into the CEO role and out of the day-to-day

Through coaching, workshops, and a private community, we equip law firm owners with the exact strategies, tools, and support they need to grow a business that doesn't just make more money—but gives them more time, freedom, and control.

If you're an estate planning law firm owner who knows your firm could be doing more—but you're stuck in the weeds or unsure what to do next—we help you build the roadmap and execute with clarity.

President and Founder

Naval Nuclear Laboratory (FMP)

I worked in design and development of world-class simulators for the United States Navy to train their ship's forces to safely operate nuclear vessels.

So what did I do? I wrote specifications, designed systems, overall installation, and verified simulators for nuclear aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines.  From using flooring and paint from the ship, to the buttons and switches, even down to the sound and hum of machinery - it was "real".  We made FAA flight simulators look basic and simple.

I held an L clearance for this role.

Engineer / Advanced Engineer

Rolls-Royce

Worked up from engineer to leading a team of engineers on various projects throughout the US, Canada, and South America as related to the nuclear power industry.  I saved individual power utility companies, on average of $100k per year due to shared information across NUOG, INPO, USA and STARS alliances.

Specialized in obsolescence management and supply chain economics to ensure that nuclear power plants could operate safely and efficiently across the life of their licenses.

Engineer / Senior Engineer / Manager - Obsolescence

Northrop Grumman

I came into the company through their rigorous Professional Development Program for leading college graduates to understand more about Northrop than the traditional new hire.  I had the opportunity to find a niche in radar systems, specifically Synthetic Aperture Radar.  I held a TS/SCI with CI Poly for this role.

At a high level, SAR allows a radar to create incredibly detailed images - read up on it on wikipedia!

Engineer I / Engineer II

I take everything that I’ve learned running Zihmer Law Firm with my wife, Tracy Zihmer…and teach it to other estate planning law firm owners. 

Each day, I live and breathe marketing, advertising, intake, system design, automation, project management, and leadership at Zihmer Law Firm. 

Then, I take every single lesson learned the hard way, every tactic and strategy that is working, literally…everything that I’ve learned and bundle it up and give it to any law firm owner that is ready to level up. 

I believe in working hard and playing hard. I believe in being a great dad to my two kids, a great husband to Tracy, an amazing son, brother, friend, and family member. 

I believe that you can have it all if you set out for it (we run a HIGHLY profitable law firm while taking off 13+ weeks per year). 

I believe in work that fulfills you and being there for with your family. 

So if you believe that too (or you want to see if it’s possible for you), then reach out 🙌
