I scaled an accounting business to $10k per month.

But I fought like hell to get there. It was not a walk in the park. It took a ton of time, effort, drawbacks, and wins to finally reach the goal of $10k per month.

Every business has parts of it that are more difficult in comparison to other businesses.

And now reflecting and looking back at it, the hardest part of an accounting business is that it is incredibly difficult to productize your services.

Every single client is different. And even clients that, on the surface look similar, could be night and day. For example, two consultants that live in the same city and make the same amount of money. These two consultants could run their businesses differently, they could have nexus in different states, one could have contractors and the other could have a team of employees. You really can't guarantee that everyone receives similar service.

These small differences are enough to slow the business down considerably. If every client needs its own special process, then you can't create a system to serve the client. It becomes harder to train others up on each special process. And at this point, you don't have a business. It becomes harder for you to step away and remove yourself from the everyday operations.

There's a reason why you have a ton of really big accounting firms and a ton of really small accounting firms, and a much smaller amount of accounting firms in the middle.

This is one of those reasons.
