About this episode
Adam Lean's journey from disenchanted accountant to entrepreneurial advisor takes center stage as he reveals how a simple desire to help business owners understand their numbers sparked the creation of the CFO Project on Episode 244 of The Unique CPA. Follow Adam from late-night e-commerce hustle to the formation of a productized CFO advisory service, designed to eliminate scope creep and empower accountants to deliver real value. As Randy's prompts unpack the pitfalls of commoditized compliance work, the "Accountants Trap," and the mindset shifts required to move from tax prep to trusted advisor, Adam shares a candid look at the challenges, and most importantly the rewards, of advisory work.
