today, most companies leverage six to 12 main systems inside their companies, including operations such as accounting, inventory, hr, payroll, and more. that’s why it’s critical to have a digital source of truth or a central system that can be trusted to deliver accurate information

dawn brolin, cpa, cfe, intentionally shrank her firm, powerful accounting, from 11 to three team members, the opposite of the way most firms grow. she also drastically cut her client list, while nearly tripling her fees from a select group of just 19 clients.

part of that change in dawn’s life was her passion for coaching college softball, where she serves as the team’s designated motivator. because softball season overlaps with tax season, she leaves the office at 2 pm, five days a week. no one in her firm works more than 35 hours a week.
