In today's episode, I sit down with Nathan Rigney (Principal of NGR Accounting) to discuss a question that every business owner needs to ask: Does your accountant actually care about you? Nathan's built his entire practice on the idea that they should. He's even got a banner that asks (pretty bluntly) if your accountant gives a s#!t about your success.

(I have to censor that so the algorithm will keep showing the episode!)

We talk about Nathan's journey from being an employee to starting what he calls an "accidental business." He shares how he used his frustration with the industry to write down exactly what he didn't want his practice to be. We also talk about why tax compliance is just the baseline and how a real advisor acts as a sounding board for your biggest decisions (like whether you should really be leasing that new car).

Nathan also explains why pattern recognition is a shortcut to growth and why it's okay to copy the methods of people who've already won. If you've ever felt like talking to your accountant is like being sent to the school principal's office, you're going to want to hear Nathan's perspective on authenticity and emotional intelligence in business.

If you'd like to get in touch, I'd love to hear from you!
