She Helps Small Firm Owners Build Better Systems
Sharrin Fuller sold two accounting firms for 2x the average multiple and she did it by building a business that could run without her.
On the Fun CPA Podcast, Sharrin, CEO and founder of Glass Wallet Ventures, breaks down the real story behind her journey, how she engineered a highly automated firm that was actually easy to sell, and the one mistake she sees firm owners make over and over again: not getting paid upfront.
They also get into the less-talked-about side of firm growth, like what it’s like being an accountant with personality in a traditionally “stuffy” industry, why creating content can feel awkward when you don’t fit the mold, and how to build a team and systems that position your firm for scale and eventual acquisition.
