Your Bookkeeping Isn’t Broken. Your Strategy Is - With Cameron Williams
Manage episode 520344467 series 3589598
Most firm owners stay stuck under $10K/month because they think “good work” is enough. It’s not.
Cameron Williams got fired while expecting his first child. Since then, he’s built KynLi Consulting, helped clients save $2M+ in taxes, and built a lean CFO firm with a 7-person team.
In this episode, he breaks down the real steps that helped him scale, without relying on referrals, ads, or undercharging. We talk:
- Why bookkeeping alone is a race to the bottom
- The mindset shift that helped him raise prices and set boundaries
- The #1 mistake accountants make trying to “do marketing”
- How touchpoints and trust-building are key to scaling a firm
- What most fractional CFOs misunderstand about sales
👉 If you want clients who stay, pay well, and refer others, don’t skip this one.
Cameron shares what’s working right now and what wasted his time.
