The Expert Accounting Firm Launch with Dallas Alford IV, CPA

Students are typically able to land their first client in 4-8 weeks. Of course, this depends on many factors, including the amount of time spent on the program. Some students may land their first client much sooner than that, while some students land their first client much later than that. Everybody's situation is unique and depends on one's efforts. This program allows you to work when you want, and at the pace you are comfortable with. That's why The Expert CFO offers lifetime access and unlimited email support.

Once you enroll in The Expert Accounting Firm Launch™, you'll immediately be emailed your username and password to login to the online course. In the course, you'll find the training videos and be given further instructions on how to register for the weekly live video coaching calls, as well as how to request access to our private student community group. The online course is also where you'll access the bonuses that are included when you enroll (Certified Tax Professional Certification Training, Checklists & Templates, The Expert CFO Pricing Calculator, Professionally Designed Marketing Materials and The Jump Start Marketing Plan). Finally, you also get lifetime access to the course (including all future updates) as well as unlimited email support in addition to discounts off any other courses you purchase from The Expert CFO.

Great question! I owned and scaled a successful CFO consulting firm to well over seven figures and today, I've been helping others start their very own bookkeeping businesses and CFO consulting firms. Based on my experience and expertise, I'm always on the cutting edge of technology, bookkeeping business best practices, CFO consulting tools and strategies for acquiring clients. At The Expert CFO we only work with a small group of students because we work closely with everyone to help ensure their success. We are sincerely committed to the success of everyone we work with and do everything we can to help them reach their goals.

Yes! Every week we all meet on a live video call where I share my screen and answer all of your questions related to the training and starting a bookkeeping business. As you know, we only work with a small group of people and this allows us to do these calls and answer each person's questions. In addition, you get unlimited email support from The Expert CFO support team so you never get stuck.

The Expert Accounting Firm Launch™ is designed to be completed in 6-8 weeks if you are able to spend about 10-15 hours per week on the program. However, keep in mind that you should work at your own pace, as everyone's situation is unique. Many of our students work a full-time job while starting their business on the side so they have a limited amount of time to dedicate to the program. We also work with many people who are retired and, as a result, have more time to dedicate to the course on a daily basis. With lifetime access, The Expert CFO support team is here to  support you as long it takes to reach your goals. 

While we do recommend you have a background in accounting, you don't necessarily need to be licensed CPA to be successful.  It would certainly help to be a licensed CPA but we have had many students that were not CPA's start successful full-service accounting businesses.  

The Expert CFO will teach you everything you need to know! With the proper coach, income tax preparation, profitable accounting services and QuickBooks can be learned relatively quickly. We've helped many people build successful bookkeeping, full-service accounting and CFO consulting firms with no prior experience.  As long as you come to the table ready to give it 110%, we are here to support you along the way.

When you enroll in The Expert Accounting Firm Launch™, you receive all the support you'll need to create the accountuing business of your dreams. First, every week we do a live video call where I answer all of your questions. Second, you get access to our private student community group where you can ask questions and get advice from me, The Expert CFO support team and others in the program, and those who have had success with the program and are currently running their own bookkeeping businesses. Finally, you get unlimited email support from The Expert CFO support team so that nothing will stand in the way of your goals.

You will receive your login username and password immediately upon enrolling in The Expert Accounting Firm Launch™ so you can start as soon as you like. The program allows you to work at your own pace, and with lifetime access, you don't need to worry if you need to take some time off here and there.

No! All your clients will care about is whether or not you're a great accountant. And if you aren't already, we will teach you that. We work with students of all ages and have seen all age groups become successful with starting their own accounting business.  

Unfortunately, we cannot hold your spot. We only work with a small group of people because it allows us to help ensure each person's success. When you decide you are ready, reach back out to us and we will help you get started immediately.  We want you to be 100% ready and committed when you come on board.

Yes! You get lifetime access to The Expert Accounting Firm Launch™ course, including all future updates. We are always adding new lessons, especially regarding new marketing techniques. QuickBooks also makes regular upgrades to its software so we ensure you are on top of all of those changes. We really want you to be successful no matter how long it takes you!

Contrary to popular belief, the truth is, you really only need to know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide! There are no advanced math skills required to be a great bookkeeper. What's more, QuickBooks does virtually all of the math for us!

No! In fact, you'll likely be working less. In some cases, far less! Owning your own bookkeeping business allows you the freedom to work as much or as little as you want while earning the level of income you desire.

I love accounting and consulting but I discovered a true passion for teaching.  At one point in my career I wanted to get a PhD and become a college professor but I never followed through with it so this must be my calling! The first person I ever helped start an accounting business was a family friend who was impacted by COVID and lost her job.  She approached me and wanted me to teach her how to start her own CFO consulting firm.  She had no bookkeeping experience but she did have the two most important qualities it takes to succeed: determination and a strong work ethic. I taught her exactly what I did to build my successful CFO consulting firm and eventually she was able to grow her firm to over seven figures. I can't tell you how rewarding it felt to be a part of her success. Owning her own business literally changed her life. I knew how liberating it felt to own my own business but when I saw the dramatic impact it had on my her life, I discovered a passion for wanting to help others do the same thing.  That's when The Expert CFO was founded.  To this day we help people with all sorts of backgrounds start successful businesses.

Yes! Our goal is to help as many people (who are serious and dedicated) as possible. Some people just don't have access to the pay-in-full price of $7,497. For people who are serious and dedicated, we offer the option of paying for the program in 3 monthly payments of $2,597. That's one payment of $2,597 today, then $2,597 per month for the next 2 months. Keep in mind that paying in full saves $294 over the payment plan option.

As you're talking to prospective accounting clients, you may get this question from time to time as well! Your answer should really focus on helping them see the value of what you're offering and inspire them to make an investment in themselves. 

If we were to offer you an accounting business that provides the income and freedom that you're looking for, what would that be worth to you? I think you'd agree that it'd be worth a whole lot more than $7,497. So the question becomes, do you think that with our support every step of the way, showing you exactly what to do, showing you the exact steps that so many of my other students have taken to build their successful accounting businesses, that you can build yours as well? If so, this turns into one of the best decisions and smartest investments you may make in your professional life.

In addition, keep in mind that we only work with a small group of people which is why we can help ensure our students' success. As a result, we truly believe the cost of The Expert Accounting Firm Launch™ is fair considering the value and commitment to your success that The Expert CFO team provides.

Finally, consider that landing just a few clients, even the smallest type of client you'll work with, more than pays for the cost of the course. We've never worked with anyone who wasn't able to get at least enough  clients to see a return on their investment and we don't plan on that changing!

You definitely do not need sales experience to get clients and have a successful accounting business.  In fact, many of the techniques we teach you to get clients actually consist of client's coming to you asking you for help with their accounting needs. This removes the fear of "sales" and even if you are an introvert or have never done sales, you will get clients as long as you follow our program.
