Excited to be a part of this community. I’m a CPA in Houston TX and I’ve now acquired 4 accounting firms for no money out of pocket. Looking forward to adding value to others.

This is really cool, CJ! I see you're a CPA - have you run into any instances where someone who isn't a CPA could have success with acquiring a firm? I'm an IT auditor, so in a very adjacent field with an opportunity to build a new vertical with a firm, but I'm not sure if putting in the work to get the CPA would be worthwhile if the only goal is to pursue an acquisition. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Also happy to connect offline to discuss as well.

Would love to hear more about this story! Do you think ex-accountants can do the same?
