Helping accountants get to their first $1M and beyond

My story begins years ago when I had an advisory firm but was struggling to increase margins.

I was a one person practice 100% remote.

I was trying to be everything to everyone.

I did not have a niche.

I did not have an ideal client.

I took any business that would hire me.

I did not stand out among the thousands of other consulting firms.

I competed mostly on low price. 

My friends and family would always see a stressed-out, black circles under eyes, 80+ hours/wk working person would have zero personal life.

I took a hard look at my business and found a lot of waste.

Too many services and too many different kinds of clients.

I decided that I needed to focus.

I began to focus on how I could productize my services.

With a business partner I helped develop an automated payment and Google reviews platform (BizPayO) that helps accountants get paid faster, without the expensive fees and which snagged a Google Review after every successful payment.

Through the payment app I found that most accountants were not charging enough.

That inspired me to launch a second SaaS company, a pricing application (Taxplow) that shows accountants what they should be charging based on the services they offer, their location, the client’s situation, and a couple dozen other key data points.

But the problem is bigger than this.

Accountants needs help differentiating themselves and coming up with a unique offering.

One that would help create a moat around their business.

So they would not become just another H&R Block or low-cost accounting firm that would position them as just a commodity.

I'm now sharing everything I learned over the years.

How to to run a 100% remote accounting firm and create a truly unique offering.

If you are an entrepreneurial accountant or tax pro, join me and follow along my journey.

My mission is to create one million, 100% remote, diversified solopreneurs by 2026.

All aboard. 🚆

Join me on my journey to becoming the best version of ourselves! Let's learn, grow, and succeed together 💬. Follow me for tips, insights, and strategies to become a better leader, live a more fulfilling life, and achieve greatness.

Last week was a special one for me.  
Curaçao hosted the Interamerican Scout Conference for the first time, and welcoming leaders from across the region to my home country was an honor I’ll carry for a long time. There’s something powerful about doing this on the same soil that shaped you.

In the middle of all of it, I received the Youth of the Americas Award and what made it unforgettable is that my father was the one who presented it to me.
He received the same award many years ago.
Standing there, with him handing it to me, felt like a full-circle moment I’ll never forget.

Scouting has given me so much over the years. Leadership, global friendships, purpose, and a belief in what young people can do when they’re trusted and supported. I’m committed to giving that back, to creating more spaces where young people can lead, grow, and shape the future they want.

Grateful for the journey.
Grateful for the people who walk it with me.
And grateful for the chance to serve a Movement that continues to change lives, including mine.

I moderated a tourism investment panel last week at the Curaçao International Investment Summit.

Five people. 

An investor who's been building here for 20 years. A CEO representing 250+ members of the tourism sector. A fintech running operations data across 30 Caribbean islands and countries. A business intelligence expert leading with insights at the Tourist Board. A government director coordinating major projects.

The initial plan was simple: pitch opportunities, showcase returns, get investors excited.

Something else happened.

Last year, government and private sector aligned on seven priorities for sustainable tourism. They passed them as resolutions at our National Tourism Conference.

That alignment changed the conversation.

One panelist said it clearly: "We have room to grow. The data proves it. But the question is how we grow, not just if we grow."

We started asking different questions.

What type of investor do we actually want? How do we measure carrying capacity? What does social impact look like? How do we develop our workforce while growing? What benefits the community?

This is what systems change looks like.

You're not stopping growth. You're not choosing between development and preservation. You're changing what counts as success.

Is it perfect? No. Are there tensions? Yes. Some still push volume over value. Some want quick returns over patient capital.

But the question changed.

And when the question changes, behavior follows.

I've watched plenty of strategic plans sound beautiful and change nothing.

What changes things is when practitioners, policymakers, and data experts start using the same frame. When five different people answer "what does success look like?" and their answers fit together.

We're not there yet. But we're asking better questions.

Better questions build better systems.

What questions is your team asking right now?

And with that...Regional Scout Conference season comes to an end.

Four conferences in five months. Vienna. Kaohsiung. Willemstad. Abu Dhabi. I followed our Africa conference from afar and was moved by what colleagues achieved in Antananarivo.

Each gathering asked the same question in different ways. How do we bring Scouting to more young people everywhere? And how do we shape its future?

The answers are starting to change.

In Africa, NSOs elected their youngest-ever Regional Committee. Four members under 30. They passed a landmark resolution to recognise non-formal education through Scouting.

In Interamerica, a historic 60% female majority now leads the region. NSOs committed to measuring impact against the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

In Asia-Pacific, safeguarding moved from principle to prerequisite. The region set a target of 30% youth representation in decision-making bodies.

In Europe, NSOs embedded peace education into Youth Programmes and strengthened the partnership between Scouts and Guides.

In the Arab region, NSOs launched a comprehensive governance review and committed to flexible volunteering and humanitarian action.

These are not small shifts.

They tell us something about what kind of Movement we are becoming. One where young people do not wait for permission to lead. Where women take their rightful place in governance. Where protecting our members is non-negotiable.

But the moments that stayed with me were not the votes or the resolutions.

They were the hallway conversations. A volunteer from a small NSO asking how to keep going with almost no resources. A young leader challenging us to close the gap between what we say and what we do. Two delegations who had never met, exchanging ideas that could change how both of them work.

That is where strategy comes alive.

Our Strategy for Scouting is now fully aligned across all five regions. Each region has adopted triennial plans that connect to our shared direction. We are rowing in the same direction.

Sixty million Scouts. Five million volunteers. One strategy.

Thank you to my fellow World Scout Committee members, the World Scout Bureau team, and every host country that opened their doors.

We have a strategy and a plan. The question is no longer what we want.

It is whether we will seize this moment of unity. We have the strategy. We have the alignment. Now we need the discipline to follow through and the humility to learn as we go.

I left these conferences believing we can figure it out together.

Now we get to work.

The other day, I was working with new people managers at a financial institution.

One manager was practicing a coaching conversation. She jumped straight to the issue. What's not working. What needs to change.

I leaned in and nudged her. "Ask them how they're doing first."

She looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Just ask. How are you doing? As a person. Not about the task. Then pause. Count to seven. Let them actually answer."

The room went quiet. You could see it clicking for everyone.

This is the part most new managers miss. They want to be professional. Get to the point. Show they're capable. So they go straight to business.

But you can't have open conversations about performance with someone you don't actually know.

Later in the training, we used the Emotional Card Deck. People chose cards for how they need to feel as leaders. Then, they chose cards for how their team members need to feel to do good work.

One manager realized her team needs to feel safe admitting mistakes. But she'd never created that space. She was always jumping to solutions.

You can't solve performance issues with a plan alone. You need trust first. Managers who build relationships before they try to fix performance get different results.

What would change in your team if you started every conversation with "How are you doing?" and waited seven seconds for the real answer?
