The Community for Accounting Firm Owners

Firm Owners Unplugged is a private, organized community where CPAs, EAs, and accounting firm owners come together to share real strategies, ask real questions, and build their firms — together. Dedicated spaces for tax & technical questions, firm growth, hiring, tech stack, and more. Everything organized. Nothing gets buried.

You're in. We'll be in touch soon.

We're looking for active members to help shape the community. 250+ firm owners already interested.

Founding community leaders

I never found a community of other CPA, EA, or accounting firm owners.

When I started my accounting firm, I had hundreds of questions: How do I price advisory services? What tech stack actually works? When do I hire my first employee? How do other firm owners handle scope creep?

I looked everywhere for answers. Facebook and Reddit are great for technical questions — but what I found was disorganized feeds full of basic tax questions, self-promotion, and threads that disappeared in a day. There was no dedicated space where firm owners could have serious conversations about actually building and growing a practice.

So I'm building what I wish existed.

Firm Owners Unplugged is a private, organized community built specifically for CPA, EA, and accounting firm owners who are serious about growth. A structured space where real firm builders share what's actually working, ask the hard questions, and help each other level up.

What you get inside

Everything you need to build your firm, organized in one place.

🏗️

Firm Building Strategy

Real playbooks from owners who've done it. Client acquisition, pricing models, service packaging, and scaling from solo to team.

🎙️

Monthly Roundtables

Small-group video calls with firm owners at your stage — startup, growth, or scaling. Unscripted, cameras on, real talk about what's working and what's not. This is where the real relationships are built.

🔍

Vendor-Free Tech Reviews

No sponsorships. No affiliate links. Just firm owners reviewing the tools they actually use — with real screenshots, real costs, and honest opinions. Practice management, tax software, automation, AI, and more.

🚀

Firm Starter Kit

New to firm ownership? Get a curated collection of templates, checklists, and guides contributed by experienced members — engagement letters, client onboarding flows, pricing menus, and SOPs to hit the ground running.

👥

Hiring & HR

How to find, hire, train, and retain talent. Compensation benchmarks, interview processes, and management advice from firm owners in the trenches.

📋

Templates & Resources

Engagement letters, pricing menus, onboarding checklists, SOPs — shared by members and refined by the community. A growing library that gets better every month.

📊

Anonymous Benchmarking

Stop guessing if you're charging enough. Members anonymously share revenue per client, realization rates, staff compensation, and tech costs — so you can see where you stand against real numbers.

📬

Weekly Firm Owner Intel

Every Monday: a short briefing covering IRS updates, state tax changes, software updates, and industry news — written specifically for firm owners, not a generic newsletter.

🤝

Peer Network & Referrals

Connect with firm owners who understand your challenges. Share overflow work during busy season, refer clients outside your niche, and find talent through people you trust.

Is this for you?

We're intentional about who we build this for — and who we don't.

This is for you if…

  • You run an accounting, tax, or bookkeeping firm — or you're building one
  • You believe the accounting industry needs to evolve and you want to be part of that shift
  • You're a small firm that doesn't have a massive team or unlimited resources at your disposal
  • You want real peer conversations about growing your practice — from pricing and hiring to tech and operations
  • You have tax questions, technical questions, or client scenario questions — they're welcome here, and they'll actually be organized so you can find answers later
  • Credentialed or non-credentialed — CPAs, EAs, and non-licensed firm owners are all welcome
  • Our members are primarily US-based
  • This is not for you if…

  • You're a software vendor looking for a sales channel
  • You're not an accountant or firm owner
  • You're here to sell or promote products to members
  • You don't think the accounting industry needs to change
  • Everything you need — organized in one place

    Facebook and Reddit are great for quick questions. But conversations get buried, threads disappear, and good advice is lost in the noise. We built something better.

    What you're used to

  • Tax questions, firm questions, and promotions all mixed into one feed
  • Good answers buried under hundreds of comments
  • Threads disappear within hours
  • No way to search past conversations
  • No structure — you scroll and hope for the best
  • Open to anyone regardless of experience
  • How we do it differently

  • Dedicated spaces for tax questions, firm growth, hiring, tech stack — each topic has a home
  • Discussions stay organized and easy to find
  • Every conversation is searchable — nothing disappears
  • Resources, templates, and answers build into a permanent knowledge base
  • Structured so you find what you need in seconds, not hours
  • A community of firm owners and builders who are serious about growth
  • Organized spaces, not a noisy feed

    Every topic has its own dedicated space — including tax and technical questions. Nothing gets buried, everything is searchable.
