Solo de Facto

Richard Claywell is the Owner of J. Richard Claywell, CPA. He has been in business since 1985, and he has a wide depth of experience and knowledge to share. He sits down with host Tom Dufton to share some tips on how to run a successful solo practice.

Takeaways

• Don’t be afraid to consult experts. It’s ok to not know everything, and sometimes you might need advice from an expert to help you out.
• Not all CPAs are created equal. You want to make sure that you are getting the best of the best.
• Immerse yourself in your work. Running a practice can be difficult and demanding, but if you put the time and effort into it you will be successful.
• Help your clients by educating attorneys through nuances.
• When handling a case, think about how many years of experience you have in that case and consider if you are the right person for it.
• Attorneys often think that because they handle a couple of cases they are experts in the field, but every case is unique and should be treated as such.​
• Outliers can have a major impact on your business.
