Quality leadership that grows your accounting practice isn't about pushing your team to work harder. While it may sound counterintuitive, modeling a healthy, balanced life is what actually moves the needle. In this episode of The Accountant's Flight Plan, Rob Dube opens the conversation by emphasizing that when leaders prioritize wellness, the team will follow suit. This results in less burnout, fewer mistakes, better client service, and a more harmonious work environment. If you are happy in your work and life, your team and CPA practice will thrive as well. Brannon and Rob also discuss the importance of vulnerability and authentic connection to maintain effective leadership. By sharing your personal story with partners, employees, and close peers, leaders build trust and authentic engagement. Some practical ways to start doing this could be asking for feedback from your close friends and peers on what your strengths and weaknesses are, allowing leaders to shed their “armor”. This can lead to more self-awareness and foster deeper relationships and a higher-energy workplace.To conclude, Rob and Brannon discuss the importance of setting boundaries to prioritize high-value work. The effectiveness of avoiding hustle culture, taking time off, and delegating lower-value tasks ensures that leaders remain energized for what truly matters. By focusing on purpose, energy, and mindful action, leaders can build resilient teams, sustainable practices, and more fulfilling lives.Timestamp List: Key Sections:02:00 - Introducing The Ten Disciplines04:00 - Climbing the Two Mountains: Achievement vs. Meaning07:00 - Chaos vs. Awareness: Tuning Into Your Body11:00 - Understanding the Driven Personality14:00 - Vulnerability and the Inner Story21:00 - Practical Steps to Peel Back the Armor26:00 - Combatting Hustle Culture and Setting Boundaries31:00 - Delegating and Avoiding Low-Value Work37:00 - Resources and Key TakeawaysLink to full listing: https://poegroupadvisors.com/practice/sc2038/ Firm Highlights:- Young, energetic owner committed to staying 10+ years to run and grow the firm.- Selling 70–100% equity, with plans to offer key employees an ownership stake.- 3+ CPAs on staff and over 20 employees.- High-net-worth clients with strong loyalty and consistent referrals.- 78% of services tied to business clients.

Let me ask you something.  How often do you find yourself in the middle of a negative emotion like stress, frustration, guilt, loneliness, or even boredom, and instead of just feeling it, you immediately start trying to escape it?  Maybe you scroll through your phone, grab some chocolate from the pantry, or you dive into another spreadsheet at work, even though you're already exhausted. Maybe you negotiate with yourself by saying something like, I'll just do this one thing to feel better, and tomorrow I'll get back on track.  How familiar does this sound to you?  If you're thinking, How did you know what I was thinking, I want you to know that you're not alone.  Almost every client I work with, especially the high-stress professionals like CPAs, tax preparers, bookkeepers, lawyers, and business owners, struggles with negative emotions. And I want you to know, nothing has gone wrong. Negative emotions are not only normal, but they are also part of the full human experience. But the way you handle them? That's where everything changes.  And today, we're going to talk about how to stop letting negative emotions run your life, and instead, how to manage them in a way that gets you closer to the life you actually want.  Let's dive in… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Do you ever notice how hard it feels to say no? Maybe it's when a colleague asks you to pick up extra work even though you're already drowning in deadlines. Or maybe it's when a friend invites you to something you don't want to do, but you say yes because you don't want to disappoint them.  Saying no often feels uncomfortable, almost like you're letting someone down or being selfish. But what if I told you that saying no could actually be easy? That saying no can be one of the most powerful tools you use to protect your time, your energy, and your mental health? And that saying no can even be done in a way that strengthens, not damages, your relationships?  Let's dive in… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.

Do you really need a CFO, or is your accountant enough? If you're a group practice owner wondering whether your current accountant is giving you the insight you actually need to scale, this episode is for you. I sat down with Carter Freeman to talk about the evolving role of CFOs in therapy practices, and how CFO services - especially fractional CFO services - can help you grow smarter, not harder. We dig into the real differences between a CFO vs. accountant, why clinical leaders need more than just number crunching, and how financial strategy impacts everything from hiring decisions to clinical outcomes. If you've ever thought, “My accountant doesn't do that,” this conversation will open your eyes. Here's what we cover in this episode: The key differences between a CFO vs. accountant - and why your practice likely needs both at different stages Why fractional CFO services might be your best next hire (even if you're not ready for a full-time CFO) How CFO services help align financial decisions with clinical growth and long-term sustainability Real-world cash flow management techniques that Carter uses with growing group practices What accountants for therapists should be doing - and where their role stops short of strategic leadership Whether you're planning to expand, hire nonclinical staff, diversify services, or even prep for a sale, understanding the role of a CFO is key. Carter and I break down the signs that it's time to bring one in and how to leverage financial leadership that moves your practice forward. Listen to the full episode now to learn how CFO services, fractional CFO services, and smarter cash flow management techniques can elevate your group practice beyond basic accounting.   LINKS: Need extra support?

These days, consumers accumulate hundreds, thousands, sometimes even millions of points that can be used to acquire everything from their favorite drink, to airline tickets, or simply pay a balance on a credit card.

Do you ever catch yourself standing in front of the fridge or pantry, not because you're hungry, but because you're bored, stressed, or just want a break from everything going on in your life?  Maybe you've had this thought: “Why can't I just eat like a normal person?”  I hear this from my clients all the time, especially high-stress professionals like accountants, lawyers, and business owners. People who can handle complex projects, manage other people's money or businesses, and make huge decisions every day. Yet when it comes to food? It feels like it's the one area that's out of control.  Today, I want to help you understand why you overeat, and more importantly, how you can stop, without relying on willpower. Because the solution isn't about discipline or “eating less.” It's about understanding what's really going on in your brain, the root cause, and learning how to process emotions instead of numbing them with food.  Let's dive in… Join us in a community built specifically for accountants and high-stress professionals.  You'll receive support, accountability, and a community that understands what you're going through.
