Know that if Logan can do it, you can do it too!

The transparency is inspiring. Just completed my CPA in February and would love to open up my own firm one day. Thank you.

Love the quality of your videos and the value you're providing! Thank you very much for your hard work.

Wow, that's quite a % increase year over year. Congrats! My dad works for me too - started last year (part-time) and transitioned to full-time this month.

Yes, please do more of these breakdowns. My wife and I are taking over my parents practice when they retire, and I'm stressing about that transition period from them to us. This is exactly the type of video I need to make sure I don't mess it up. Thank you!

Best of luck! I appreciate the KZfaq content as somebody who wants to start their own CPA firm in the future 🎉

Another great video! Thank you for being so open and sharing this with us. Great job in 2022 and good luck in 2023!

Logan congrats on the progress and the growth I love seeing your progress and I love the transparency to help others

I love this, It helps me have a clearer idea of how others work on their business and not feel alone in this industry.

Good stuff Logan. I like your goals for 2023 also. More money is good but more time is priceless.

Great Information . Congrats !!!

I have a $175K 9-5 with amazing benefits and a side gig tax client list that grosses me $150k. I only work on taxes from Jan-April in my spare time on the weekends. It can be done!

That is awesome. Great job Logan! Well deserved success

This is a gold mine, thank you!

Your mic sounds so much better than your PY videos! Thanks for your advice for both 2021 and 2022!

awesome stuff man

That's so awesome!!! Way to go Logan!

Bro, you are actually so funny and I like the content!

You're doing everything right

Been an accountant for 6 years now, 4 in public and going on 2 in private. About to finish my CPA and really want to start my own firm due to the extreme shortage of CPAs and all the demand there is. Really appreciate these videos!

Nice job!

Can you make a video for people wanting to startup their own firm on how you chose your tax software and what features you and your clients like the most?

Get it Cuz!!!

Hey Logan, enjoyed your video. I'm a struggling CPA. I became a licensed CPA in 2014. I Have yet to break 200k or get anywhere near that. I even joined a small accounting and tax franchise in mid 2019 to help me grow my biz, and well let's just say I'm still waiting for that to happen. I have realized that I need to do better marketing, or something. I'm outside of Denver CO and look to that market for most of my clients. My minimums are no where near yours and I'm reluctant to raise my fees on old clients, and hard to stick to my guns on pricing for new clients. I can really relate to hard to turn down work. It's just me and sometimes my daughter with help with some basic data entry and qbo work. I can't afford a lot of money for "coaching but did look at Jason's and it seems a little pricey for me. Idk what the heck to do?!

very nice!

Great insights Logan! My only thing is where to get quality clients who appreciate the work and pay decently

I'm a 20-year-old junior double majoring in Accounting and Finance. I want to get my MPA and shortly after that my CPA, and after working for a few years to gain experience, I want to open up my own firm as well! This is super cool to see; I really appreciate the transparency here, as I have been wondering if it is worth it to go against the grain and start my own firm rather than working under someone my whole life! It seems like it is if you're willing to genuinely put in the work!

Great video series. If you're working out of your home, how are you handling client visits/consultations?

That was a KICK ASS video Logan! Thank you so much for your honesty and sharing your processes/thought processes/dad jokes! :) One thing that surprised me though....you bill on completion for basic 1040s. Have you changed that since you made the video, or has it worked out for you to bill after the fact?

Great content! As someone that is also starting, valuable advise. What outsourcing service are you using?

Hahah love the tax deduction scene!

Wow. The transparency is GREATLY appreciated.

You are an inspiration to me. Do you mind sharing what tax software do you use, I am familiar with Lacerte.

Hey who are you using for your outsource tax prep? We have been looking into a few companies.

Hey Logan awesome video! I'm about to graduate and sit for the CPA exam in a few months. I'm starting in financial due diligence/audit at big 4 this fall but plan to start doing returns for small businesses/ individuals on the side with hopes of growing it into something much bigger. What advice would you give to someone like me who doesn't get much tax exposure but wants to learn more while working in a different field of accounting? Thanks!

Here before Jason

Hi…. Love the content…Question…. So why the switch to tracking time in 2023? Isn’t not having to track time one of the big pluses of running your own firm?

What services fall under "Tax Advisory" that are different from "Tax Return Prep" and "Client Consults" ? Great video btw! KZfaq income is on the way.

Thanks for the breakdown, do you spend any time after tax season contracting to make more money? Would be kind of cool to see what your year overall looks like.

What’s your bill rate on tax return preparation? I’m slowly starting my own firm and trying to establish pricing

Hey Logan, which tax prep software do you use? Looking to get started myself in 2024 maybe with Drake.

Hey! How many years of experience do you have in taxation and where is it from if you mind me asking. Your taking home director level salary at and most of all it’s “your” firm! Congrats

What do you use for tax software? Seems pretty high for under 200 returns.

Great video, Logan. Thanks for the transparency. Would you mind sharing who you outsource your tax prep to? I’ve considered taking the same approach, but don’t know where to to start. Thanks!

Hey man, aspiring cpa here. Just started FAR studies. Old Army guy here too. What keeps folks from starting a firm so soon after passing all four of the exams?

Any tips on how to start a firm part-time? Is that even possible?

What software you use to make it cost over 30k?

Do you think you could've started your firm right after getting your CPA?

Hopefully the day will come when CPA firms pay starting associates more than shillings. I started my PA career at 45k and wanted to swing when I saw that offer because I knew it was a joke.

How many employees did you have during 2022?

If I could figure out how to seperate the stress from work from my life at home, I think I'd be much more appreciative of this profession. 2022 will be my highest income year by a large margin, but I'm confident that my mental health was the worst it's ever been. Super impressed by your return averages; I think im only at around $300 avg spread across 450 returns as a solo practitioner. Bumped prices alot this year; curious to see what it does to retention.

What kind of CPA software costs 30k?

Hi,I hope to join a bookkeeping/Accounting firm as an virtual employee. I like to work for US,UK,Australian or New Zealand bookkeeping firms. I live in Sri Lanka(My country-It is south Asian country).How can find a job?

Why was the software so high

How did you manage to only spend $300 on Marketing? Are you planning on spending more or doing more for Marketing now that you are outsourcing more?

How are you getting clients paying you $800 for a tax return? Unheard of

Logan thankyou for transparency. Honestly you come across as arrogant. A little humility would add to your shine....IMHO

"daddy needs to get monetized" wtf bro 💀

Accounting is about as exciting as this guys personality lol
