What Accounting Firm Owners Are Saying
Paul Carvell
SFB Group
“Paul’s story proves that with the right systems, support, and mindset, you can scale your business to new heights, trust your team, and enjoy the freedom you’ve always wanted, without being chained to the day-to-day operations.”Results: Grew from £800,000 to £6,000,000 in revenue while working just a handful of hours per week.

It was exhausting and frustrating.”Results: Went from 200 clients to 30 premium clients, 60+ hours to 16 hours per week, with 4x income increase.
