In this episode of Founders Future, with host Ammar Elm, we sit down with Jake Pigatto, owner of Integrated Financial Solutions, a full-service tax and financial firm helping individuals and businesses navigate IRS debt, tax strategy, and CFO services. Jake shares his unique journey from Deloitte accountant to acquisition entrepreneur, revealing how he bought an established tax business and transformed it into a scalable, remote-first operation. He breaks down his "one-stop-shop" approach to financial services, the challenges of lead generation in a niche industry, and why personal touch is his competitive edge in a world dominated by impersonal AI-driven tax resolution companies.

Jake also dives into his vision for scaling to $100K/month, the importance of systems before growth, and his dual focus on acquiring recurring revenue streams (like bookkeeping and fractional CFO work) while expanding tax resolution services. He offers golden advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: "Don’t wait for perfection—just jump in" and emphasizes learning from those already where you want to be. Listeners will walk away with actionable insights on buying vs. building businesses, balancing scalability with personalization, and leveraging industry experience to spot undervalued opportunities.
