“Building a successful accounting practice takes years of knowledge, trial and error, and perseverance. So, when I was looking to build my accounting practice and receive the right guidance, I knew I needed a mentor who had that knowledge and experience. That is exactly what I found in Nancy at Fix-It-Accounting. It has truly been a pleasure working with her. She is very knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and easy to work with. The guidance I have received has been invaluable and has enabled me to avoid the many pit falls experienced by other accounting firms attempting to build and scale. Therefore, I highly recommend Nancy, if you are looking for expert knowledge to help you grow your practice! ”
“Nancy has been graciously mentoring me for just over 2 years now. We have a one-hour phone call once per month. These phone calls have been invaluable to the growth and development of my CPA firm.
The mentorship began in early 2021, just after the close of 2020 where I had $148k of revenue and one full time employee. Fast forward to present day, where in the year just ended of 2022, I had $326k of revenue along with 2 full-time employees as well as a part-time employee.
Nancy’s wealth of knowledge has helped tremendously through this exciting transition. We discuss everything from sales strategies to client management, software implementation, employee management, taking care of ourselves, and personal growth.
I am extremely thankful for Nancy’s generosity and expertise. In the past two years, my firm has transformed into a business that I am extremely proud of and gives me the freedom and flexibility I could have only dreamed of in early 2021. She has been an excellent resource for me and is now also someone I can call a great friend.”
