The Growing Phase: A Fireside Chat on Scaling an Accounting Practice Without Burning Out
If you run an accounting practice in Australia, there's a good chance you've tried to hire someone in the last twelve months — and a fair chance it didn't quite work out. If it did, it's worth asking what that person is actually costing you. Meanwhile the October lodgement deadline keeps coming, the workload keeps climbing, and as an owner you'd rather be growing the practice than buried in the operational side of it.
Join us for a fireside chat between Domenic Barba, who's spent twenty years building his own accounting practice (and now runs Taxtalk, Integritas Group of Companies, and Integritas Technologies), and Ravijeet Dang, Director ANZ at iotasol and Domenic's technology partner of many years.
This isn't a pitch — it's a real conversation, about what happens when a practice starts to scale, where the pressure actually shows up, and what a practical path through it looks like.
What you'll take away
An honest account of what actually breaks when an accounting practice tries to grow
What Dom tried first, including the things that didn't work
A practical view of a model you can apply to your own practice — what it looks like, the risks, and what the first ninety days actually involve
Who this is for
Owners and partners of Australian accounting practices who are feeling the squeeze between growing demand and the people to deliver it — whether you're a sole practitioner doing everything yourself, or running a team where seniors are stuck doing junior work.
A quick note on what this is (and isn't)
This is a conversation, not a sales webinar. Dom and Ravi talk to each other about what's actually worked and what hasn't. If you stick around to the end, there's a low-key offer of a free, no-obligation session with Dom for anyone who wants to talk through their own situation.
