The Realest Conversation Around Firm Ownership You Ever Heard

mardi 23 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:04:39

Michael Eckstein isn’t like most accountants.

He doesn’t talk like most accountants. Or think like them.

And he certainly doesn’t approach building a business the same way as them, either.

In this episode, Yuri and Michael sit down to discuss topics big and small – from client horror stories and biggest tax “beefs” to how Michael started his firm and why he built it around one central thing.

Additionally, they tackle some hot topics that come up again and again in LinkedIn and elsewhere: minimum fees, taking on more (or less) clients and designing your business around your life (and not the other way around).

Episode Highlights:

0:00 - Intro

0:36 - Episode beginning

3:16 - Mike’s journey and background

9:14 - What made Mike a “travelling accountant”

11:02 - Taking on clients and protecting your time
