→ How Capture Accounting Dubai came to life.
→ The magic of in-person meetings after building online connections.

From Client Chaos to Firm Flow: Structuring for Scale

How should you structure your firm as you grow?

In this episode, I walk you through how I’ve built and refined the structure of my practice—so that every client has a home and I’m no longer the bottleneck.

You’ll discover:

→ The role of a client manager and why it’s the first hire you need to make
→ How to structure your team for both delivery and development
→ When to recruit offshore and when to scale with more managers
→ Why not every “manager” should be managing people

I also break down the real team setup behind our £1M+ firm, and share how we balance experience, strengths, and culture across UK and offshore staff.

If you're feeling stuck between doing it all yourself or hiring blindly, this episode will give you clarity on how to build a team structure that fits your firm—and your goals.

How to Retain Top Talent Without Losing Sleep Over Client Poaching

You want more time, more freedom, and less stress.

But handing over client control to your team feels like a risk, right?

In this episode, I share exactly how I built a team I trust—so much so that I don’t even speak to most of our clients anymore.

You'll learn:

→ Why giving autonomy is risky—but not giving it is riskier
→ How to keep entrepreneurial team members from walking away with clients
→ What big corporates do that accounting firms should copy
→ The leadership books that shaped how I build loyalty and culture

I also break down the one system I believe is the final step to building a true freedom firm—and how to use it to grow your practice without being chained to it.

This one’s all about trust, vision, and building a team that stays with you for the long haul.

If you’ve ever worried about team members jumping ship with your clients, this episode is for you.

How do you protect your fees, justify your value, and stop discounting under pressure?

In this episode, I share a real conversation I had with my team about clients questioning our prices — and what we did to turn it around.

You’ll discover:
→ Why clients push back on price (hint: it’s rarely about the money)
→ The simple value register you can use to remind clients what they’re getting
→ How to position subscription services like insurance — peace of mind, not paperwork
→ Why bundling your prices avoids awkward conversations at renewal time

I also break down the psychology behind pricing objections, what clients really want, and how to proactively communicate value before they even think to ask.

If you’re fed up with clients questioning your fees — and you want a clear system to prevent it — this episode is for you.

It’s been a while, but I’m back. And this episode is a bit of a brain dump.

I talk you through:

→ Why moving countries forced me to reassess my routines
→ The power of systems to free up your time (even during a major life move)
→ How to build habits with zero friction
→ What it really takes to grow a remote-first, freedom-focused firm
→ The marketing system that brings in leads — even when I’m off-grid

I also share the exciting switch we’ve made to a new practice management system — and why Karbon is now our go-to.

Plus: a reminder that if you want real growth, you’ve got to work on the business, not just in it.

If you’ve ever dreamed of building a firm that works without you, this one’s for you.

From 50p an Hour to Building a Global Accounting Firm
How do you go from earning £80 a month to running a thriving offshore accounting business?

In this episode, I speak to Ghazi, who shares his incredible journey from Dhaka to Doha — from his humble beginnings in Bangladesh to building an elite global practice.

You’ll discover:
→ The key decision he made early on that shaped his entire career
→ Why choosing low pay and high learning was his smartest move
→ How his mother’s home business shaped his mindset
→ What makes his offshoring team different — and why top firms trust them

From WhatsApp Groups to £50k Clients
Why Webinars Still Work and How to Nail Them

This episode is full of takeaways on how to attract your dream clients using nothing but a simple Zoom webinar and a bit of smart targeting.

You’ll discover:

→ How one 45-minute Q&A webinar brought in a £5k/year client from just 11 attendees.
→ Why going niche (and then even more niche) is the key to building trust fast.
→ How to get your clients to do your marketing for you inside WhatsApp groups.
→ The simple mindset shift that turns a small room into a big opportunity.
→ Why visual teaching helps you stick in your audience’s memory.

I also share how I used this same webinar formula back in 2013 with a flip chart and an ebook — and how the only thing that’s changed is now I do it from my laptop.

Whether you’ve done 10 webinars or none, this is the low-risk, high-reward tactic to get yourself seen as the expert — and get paid like one.

If you want to know the £50,000/hour activity that’s hiding in your calendar, this one’s for you.
