Ever catch yourself comparing your firm to someone else’s after picture and wondering what you’re doing wrong?

Here’s a different perspective – you’re not behind, you’re just still in it.

This Work in Progress episode is for anyone mid-messy change, not standing at the finish line.

You’ll hear what it sounds like to raise prices, disengage legacy clients (including ones you paid for!), test tiered pricing, and still question the hours while it’s happening.

No tidy ending, no highlight reel – just the normal, uncomfortable middle.

Listen to feel less alone, see what “working on it” actually looks like, and borrow some camaraderie from a peer doing the hard work alongside you.

Ever look at your client list and think, “There’s no way I can cut this in half and still make the same money”…?
Turns out, that belief is backwards.

Hunter Bracey walks through how he went from 105 clients to roughly 40 without losing revenue, cut his tax-season hours in half, and went from chaos to feeling in control.

Does running your firm have to feel this uncertain to be working?

Most CPAs assume uncertainty, discomfort, and the unknown are signs of risk – but they’re often just signs you’re doing something new.

This episode breaks down six practical truths that help firm owners stop overthinking, make calmer decisions, and move faster toward “enough.” Enough money. Enough time. And real freedom.

If you’ve been grinding, hesitating, or waiting to feel ready, this episode reframes what actually matters – and what doesn’t.
