A community for new firm owners would be great. Slowly starting mine and this would be super helpful.

[@JoseCPA1]

It would be great to have a community of CPAs who started their accounting firms! I just started mine this year. Thanks Logan for the inspiration!

[@Dimbark]

Age 24, just bought a firm and trying to forge my own path. Would love to be part of a community; all those I'm in now are with CPAs who have been in the business for a long time.

[@scccpa2010]

I did it when I was 27, best decision of my life. Have purchased a total of 3 now in the last 13 years! Good luck!

[@omryAnchor]

Hi Logan , thank you for posting this! After supporting hundreds of such firm starts up close, I can say that the water are not as deep or cold as they seem. From getting clients to building the right tech stack, setting up automation, and generating healthy cash flow with good margins from the outset - it will be hard but worth it. Having a mentor who has done the zero-to-one can profoundly help the journey, and having peers with you who are in a similar stage can make a world of difference. I believe this could be an amazing community. I hope you open it 🙂

Would love a community to follow. I am 32 and own my own firm in northern N.Y. Built it from scratch too, in 5 years went from making $8k on the side to full time with an employee at $220k. We need more firms. I am doing the Thomson Reuters practice forward program and I hope that moves me from $220k to $750k in 3 years. I know other CPAs it worked for.

[@kmkcorner]

New owner community would be very interesting. Would be very cool if people that were interested in starting a practice could participate too.

Newish firm owner right here. I've been in the business 5 years. I'd like to join your community. - Howard Knudsen, CPA

[@stronginthesaddle]

Just found your channel and I'm loving your videos! I'm a CPA in Canada and work as a manager in a mid-sized firm. This is my 11th tax season and it is just starting here (and goes until April 30th). To say that I'm less than an excited about it is an understatement. After going through SEVERE burnout last year, I'm finally feeling better only to now be going into another grueling tax season. I love the work but the hours and expectations are completely unreasonable.

[@MoetheCPA]

Definitely interested in this type of community for startup firms

[@RomeoHatesShrimp]

It's too late, I've filed a missing person's report, I told the police to look for a 6'4 man with good hair genetics, driving a Crown Vic.

[@RomeoHatesShrimp]

Great video btw

[@over-wing-views]

I’m looking forward to the community. Want to start a side gig that could lead me to do exactly what you say in this video. Thanks!

[@CaliGirly12]

Becoming a CPA soon and I purposely will not be working with a big prestigious firm. That was the goal at first and now I just want to be happy. Currently working with a small CPA as an independent contractor and have had an amazing experience with them. My original plan was to move to a big firm once I became a CPA but decided I will continue to work with them even after. My goal is to have my own firm, not be miserable. Life is short!!

[@NoMoney001]

Working at a top 10 firm now. They’re doing things to help reduce hours; however it’s slow going.

[@bbgmarty2546]

I would absolutely be a part of a new owner community. Launching in 2024!

[@AnthonyFloresCPA]

Yes, I would love to be a part of that community.

[@oh4u2bme2]

A community would be awesome. I’m in.

[@terrencefinchum]

Starting a community for new firm owners would be great and I would be on board.

[@zeeckone]

I’m a new CPA, I’m working at a dead end job and I don’t know where to go from here, I don’t have public accounting experience and I’m afraid to leave my job for a public accountant position but I would have to start over, if there any chance we could talk?

[@julianlee9794]

Absolutely interested in such a community! Excited to start my own firm by 2025.

[@HUMAN-VERSION4]

There is no shortage 😢 I been unemployed 10 months

[@MarcusZS]

Excellent perspective, dude. I’ve built my own book at a three person firm with 2 older cpas. They’re retiring, so now, I’m running things how I want. Very interested in the online community 😄

[@FredMadera]

A community for new firm owners would be awesome. In the process of launching my firm soon.

[@TheDogbert123]

Logan, when is ‘how much I made as an accounting firm owner in 2023’ coming out? I’ve been waiting all year for it!

[@taxtelegraf]

Probably in 2 weeks!

[@TheDogbert123]

[@lupacounts]

great videos man! thank you so much!

[@JohnnyWalkerYT]

I’m glad you changed the title. Probably saved someone’s life.

[@deezl2392]

Would love to part of your community. Trying to start a firm after being in the game for 12 years. 🎉🎉🎉

[@IsaacStJohn]

Interested in such a community and actually have already been creating one (somewhat accidentally and very at a very small scale).

[@carddealer34]

Just a reminder...this is for financial accountants...tax accountants....blah, blah, blah. I am a federal Cost Accountant. So this does not apply to me. I have to explain why 1+1 is not equally 2. Which means, I ask questions to other areas on their financial transactions. Plain and simple. Well...maybe not that simple, but managerial and cost accounting are totally different beasts.

[@nala8179]

I'm interested in accounting as a career but definitely worried it will basically take my life away with the lack of WLB... I'm a new subscriber and would love to know tips on what to look for to grow your skillset but also avoid bad companies. Right now I get the impression that you have to go through the soul-sucking paths for experience and then rest more at something lower pay but better WLB

[@1osamalp]

New firm owner community would be great, I just left the big 4 and want to open my firm and need a lot of help😅

You're ready for a video with Reacher vibes

Wait, 3 days at a job before getting fired!! What happened? Do you have a video about that?

@Logan Graf, How did you manage to get canned in 3 days?

[@roce6296]

Is accounting still worth it? I am currently majoring in accounting in college I don't know if it still worth it.

[@taxtelegraf]

I wouldn't be an accountant if it wasn't worth it!

Another great video - I'd love to be part of the community! This will be my first year entirely independent without an employer to provide supplemental income. Let's Go TY23!
