Who's Really the BOSS?

Growing Through Strategic Acquisition


Listen Later

Rachel and Marcus pull back the curtain on their recent acquisition of a CPA firm in St. Louis, sharing intimate details about their decision-making process and due diligence approach. They discusses everything from their old-school strategy of sending physical letters to potential sellers, to the critical importance of cultural alignment and preserving DBA's remote-first culture. Through personal anecdotes and practical insights, they reveal how prayer, professional counsel, and careful planning guided them through evaluating and ultimately closing a deal that will grow their firm by 20%.
