Hey it's Troy Patton, CPA.
Let me tell you a very quick story.
About 10 years ago I left a decent, good
paying corporate accounting job to start my own practice.
I had a lot of ambition. I was an
above average accountant. And my goal, and maybe this is
yours too, was to build a good sized practice and make good
money.
After 12 months of knocking on doors,
beatin' the pavement and wasting a gob (I'm from Muncie
Indiana and a "gob" means "a lot") of money trying all kinds
of advertising to get new clients, I was still at square one.
Not many clients. Not a lot of
money left. Wondering if I was cut out to be on my own.
But after lots of trial and error and
searching, I finally found and implemented a system that soon
started bringing in new clients each week.
Pretty soon my practice started to grow.
A few months later I was hiring staff to keep up with the
volume. All the while I was working my system and adding
new things to it to accelerate our growth.
This "System" Of
Adding Clients Fueled Our Growth
One office grew into two offices.
Soon my "little" accounting practice was billing over
$1,000,000 a year. The system wasn't a fluke and we
still kept growing.
Over time I bought other accounting
practices. Before I eventually sold my practice to
another firm we had 10 offices and 80 people in total, billing
over $6,000,000 a year.
Maybe you don't want an 8 office or
$6,000,000 a year practice but if you're wanting to go from
$200,000 to $300,000 or from $500,000 to $750,000
you might want to listen in on a live phone interview
I'm part of on August 21st.
I'm being interviewed on a 50 minute
conference call where I'll be answering questions and
sharing with other accountants my story and some detail of how
I grew my little accounting practice.
I'm being interviewed twice on Tuesday
the 21st of August.
In the morning at 11:00 am ET (10:00 am
CT / 8:00 am PT).
And in the evening at 7:00 pm ET (6:00 pm
CT / 4:00 pm PT).
For what it's worth and so you know I'm
still in the game, two years ago I was named Indiana
Outstanding CPA of the Year 2005. Today I'm still a CPA
and now also run an investment company called Archer
Investment Corporation.
Old Growth Habits
Die Hard
And just last week, no kidding, I bought
another accounting practice here in town and now I'm in the
process of growing it like I grew my original practice,
using my "system".
So why do this interview?
Well because over the years I've had a lot of accountants ask
me one-on-one, how I grew my practice, what to do and not to
do and so on.
So I thought I might share my growth
story, some of my system and how-I-did-it stuff
with a larger group of you guys.
 Like
most conference calls you need to register for the call so
click on the link below that my webpage guy created.
After you fill in your contact information you'll receive the
conference call number and access code to dial in.
Also if you're interested in growing your
practice and have a specific question you want me to
answer on the call, type it in when you register for the call
on the next page & I'll try to answer it on Tuesday.
Thanks and I'll talk with you next week
on the interview!
