I want to open an accounting office but I can't start alone — can I do it without enough capital and a client base?

bro youre gonna crush this! do it this way and youll be rolling in cash in 6 months!

if client satisfaction is a priority, you can find clients who pay a bit more. but it takes patience.

bro i think you're overthinking this. tbh just go, do what you gotta do and let it be.

legally, you should have a written contract with the client in this case. the terms must be clear. advice: hire a lawyer.

the answer to this question is simple: the door. don't bother, just quit.

data analysis: as demand increases, capacity usually drops by 30-50%. that's your situation. you need to increase capacity.

standard method: set a 'standard time' for each job and put it in writing for the client. track it.

bro this is ridiculous. like i thought the same but it turned out to be really simple. don't stress.

edit: typed from phone, sorry for typos.

I feel the same way. Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's right.

If I were you, I'd go this route.

I went through the same thing.

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. Processes without records never improve, because you don't know what to fix.

Good luck with that.

I'm curious too. Mistakes made on the accounting partner side are usually reversible but expensive.

If you have questions, write them; I'll answer as best I can.

I've been dealing with this for a long time. When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.

I agree.

I'd say don't rush. The biggest time-waster for us was not knowing who had the final say.

If IP assignment to the company isn't written from the start, it can't be collected later. This is my opinion I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

Heres how it went for us. If decision-making authority isnt defined it causes daily issues not just during exits.

Good luck with that.

Correct. Trying to do this alone is the most expensive way.

Good luck with that.

I went through the same thing two years ago. When making decisions write down the worst-case scenario too not just the best.

Start with a small trial; dont commit to everything at once.
