Fire your Accountant & Hire a Partner

Compasion for Accountants

Posted on 11 October 2011

A service business is born! This is a true story about a close friend and partner in a couple of businesses.

He is an accountant. I was concerned for him personally and selfishly because he disappeared every year at tax time and issues for which I needed his input and expertise for our businesses just went missing along with him.

His stress level had to begin creating severe health and emotional difficulties for him – his plaintive remarks, “this business is going to kill me” was enough evidence for me to know something had to be done. What accountant hasn’t gone through it, right?

Most people have no idea of what an accountant and her/his family goes through, particularly at tax time. Since I started this business and have been helping other accountants, I’ve been amazed at how many could just not wait until the time they could quit altogether.

Since starting my-eScribe, it has been rewarding to see how joy and excitement have returned to the lives of so many who had lost both from the rigors of accounting …plus my own joy at helping them become far more profitable, grow their business while actually having more time to do the things in their practice they wanted to do.

my-eScribe is a bookkeeping service (we don’t do payroll, tax, or any other things we believe should be left to a competent accountant). We work only with and through accounting firms whose principals tell me how solutions we have provided, in the way we approach bookkeeping, have brought about positive changes in their lives, including more time to invest in their marriages.

I am passionate about working with accountants. Such a vital and important field; the survival of many businesses is wholly dependent upon an accountant who really cares. The challenges accountants face can be horrendous, as they were with my friend. I’m thankful I was able to help him and all the others …because I have become compassionate for accountants.

I care about accountants; in fact, all business owners should!
