50. Why Your Firm Needs a Private Equity Mindset (Even If You’re Staying Independent)

Doug and Dan dive into the idea of running your firm with a private equity mindset—not because you’re looking to sell, but because it’s the best way to build a profitable, sustainable business. With private equity firms rapidly acquiring accounting firms, those who want to remain independent need to think and operate like an investor.

In this episode, they discuss:

• What a private equity mindset actually means for accountants
• Why firms that embrace efficiency, profitability, and advisory services will thrive
• The dangers of running a firm without a strategy (aka saying yes to everything and hoping for the best)
• How small firms can take lessons from PE-backed firms—without the outside investors

Whether you're looking to scale, maximize profitability, or just run a better firm, adopting this mindset will set you up for success.

👉 Tune in and start thinking like an investor in your own business.
