Welcome to The Entrepreneurial Accountants blog!

Hi, my name is Ben Brown. 🙂

I started this blog to connect with to help and connect with fellow self-employed accountants who are working to get quality, high-paying clients and build highly-profitable firms.

My goal is to share the lessons I’ve learned from the many mistakes I’ve made…

Our Story

When I first bought my firm from a retiring CPA and became self-employed, I set out to grow my business by getting local small business clients.

However, my firm was in a small, rural farming community in southeast Missouri. The town’s population is just over 3,000, and there are probably about 30,000 people within a 30-mile radius. I felt desperate to close any prospect who was interested in working with me, and I thought the only way I could compete was on price.

I reached out to every small business owner I could think of, and I got a few new small bookkeeping clients doing this, but it wasn’t long before I ran out of leads, and when I did, I was nowhere close to meeting the revenue goal I had set for myself.

I got discouraged. I didn’t see how I was going to grow my firm to the point where I could pay myself the salary I wanted.

But then I had an epiphany…

Instead of being a “jack of all trades” accountant to local businesses in my hometown, I needed to position myself as an expert within a specific niche and market my services online.

The problem was, I had been operating from a mindset of scarcity. I thought that my client base was limited to small businesses in my immediate geographical area, but that’s not the way it works anymore.

The Massive Opportunity for Forward-Thinking Accounting Firms

In today’s world of cloud-based accounting platforms, third-party app ecosystems, full-service HR and payroll solutions, and secure document portals, it’s never been easier to work with clients remotely.

The truth is, there are a virtually unlimited number of clients out there who need your help.

According to the Small Business Administration, there are 27.9 million small businesses in the United States, and every single one of them has to file a tax return.

After I had that epiphany, I spent the next several months developing a 3-step system to get high-paying virtual accounting and tax clients.

Now, I’m teaching my system to other accountants, bookkeepers, and tax professionals so they can make more money with fewer clients.

Want to Make More Money with Fewer Clients?

If you’re a bookkeeper who’s tired of working yourself to death at year-end, or a tax professional who feels like you have to work way too hard during busy season just to stay caught up…

Would you like to see the 3-step method I use to get virtual accounting and tax clients who are eager and willing to pay premium fees?

If so, then I invite you to register for a training where I’ll give you a step-by-step overview of my system.

There is no cost for this training and nothing will be held back…

You’ll also be able to hear from some of my coaching clients who’ve had success implementing it in their own firms.

However, if you would like to work closer with me and my team on implementing what you learn, you can choose to do that as well at the end of the training.
