After almost a decade in accounting, I quit my job 4 months ago to start my own firm. I've been reflecting on that time a lot recently and here are some things I know now in my 10th year of accounting, I wish I’d known in my 1st (oh no! a thread 😱):

@Degen_CPA I think Shawn Puri tweeted about it. Dude just posted on FB marketplace and interviewed people. With your reach you could probably just tweet and ask if anyone has a req in your city.

@JulieChangRE Who doesn’t like dipping French fries in a milkshake? 😂

@jasoncook55 Admit nothing. Deny everything. Make counter accusations. 🤝

@MatznerJon But who is going to carry the boat???

@vrexec Tax associate at a CPA firm.

@zachary_ashburn Vita mix is the Rick Astley of blenders.

@mountainwesttax Teach me how to e-bike a 4x8 sheet of breadboard for our accent wall back home and I’ll get rid of my car!!

@gas_biz I knew I was making a mistake leasing that plumbing business in a tier 3 Midwest town. 😭

@FortWayneCPA Whoa that’s a good score. Have a recipe to share?

@alexforbes__ Where is the lime green representation!?!?

@DailyTaxMemes DTM just need to up those tips then you would feel different!

@LoganGrafTax CPA has better marketing and brand recognition (fair or not).

@moseskagan @MatznerJon I had bad hair until my 30s, and then it fell out so… problem solved!

@roberthendricks Ahhhh fatherhood. 😆 Hope the day improved from there!

@Degen_CPA Always knew you were a jiggle-o.

@tyromper Last day always seems the easiest. Whenever I get there I think “should I go longer??”

@thesamparr Have you started baking bread yet? Nothing like warm bread and a slab of butter on it.
