Many founders never planned to become entrepreneurs.

In this episode, Bart Davis shares how a traditional career in accounting at PwC unexpectedly led him into entrepreneurship and eventually to co-founding 512 Financial, a fractional services firm helping companies with finance, accounting, talent, and operational support.

Bart discusses the moment he took a leap from the corporate path, working alongside experienced entrepreneurs to scale and sell businesses, and how that experience ultimately gave him the confidence to start his own company.

We also talk about balancing family life with entrepreneurship, protecting time for what matters most, and why founders must accept that many outcomes will always remain outside their control.

What you’ll learn:
• Why many founders become entrepreneurs accidentally
• The opportunity that led Bart to leave a traditional career path
• How fractional finance teams help businesses scale and exit
• Why protecting family time is critical for founders
• The importance of accepting uncertainty in entrepreneurship
