Episode Transcript

This podcast, The Lifestyle Accountant Show has an origin story that might sound familiar to a lot of accounting firm owners - who are tired and burnt out, constantly getting pinged by clients and team members, finding it hard to sleep at night, not feeling healthy and feeling trapped. I know when I started my accounting firm, it was because I wanted to create freedom, not because I wanted to be working 70 hours a week and never have time to see my family. Originally, the plan was to grow to doing $1m in annual revenue and work less than 20 hours a week within 2 years from launching. But as so often happens, it didn’t really go to plan. And this is exactly why I started this podcast, to answer the big questions of, is it possible to build a successful accounting firm while living a happy, healthy life and being present for your family? Do we have to make a choice between sacrificing our personal or professional lives? In order to find out the answers, we will be deep diving the thought processes, strategies and execution with some of the accounting industry’s best thinkers and leaders, all through the lens of remote work. The Lifestyle Accountant Show is coming soon to wherever you get your podcasts.
