12 FEB 2024 · Hope is Not a Strategy
Hey CPAs and Accountants! You found our podcast!
Hoping and wishing alone rarely lead to significant change if any at all. At Dillon Business Advisors, we decided to ensure greater success in our accounting firm by hiring our first Director of Operations. In smaller organizations, everyone rolls up their sleeves and helps where needed, but initiatives and goals benefit from a highly-qualified leader who can plan, prioritize, monitor execution, and make adjustments in order to achieve optimal results.
This week on Who's Really the Boss podcast, Amy McCarty, Director of Operations, joins Marcus Dillon, CPA and Rachel Dillon to discuss her role and responsibilities within the accounting firm. In this episode, Amy shares the immediate improvements she implemented upon joining the team and initiatives she has planned for the remainder of the year.
3 key areas DBA has benefited from Amy's work as Director of Operations are:
✦Technology and software assessment and implementation
✦Process and documentation improvements
✦Internal professional development strategy

11 DIC 2023 · Riches in the Niches
Hey! CPA Firm Owners, you found our podcast!
Are the riches really in the niches for accounting firms? Plenty of small businesses have been successful serving the masses; however, those businesses are really clear on their vision and mission AND have well defined service or product offerings. There are so many benefits to defining your ideal clients and clearly defining your service offerings that niching down allows you to provide more value by gaining expertise and creating a network in specific industries.
3 questions answered in this episode:
✦What if I pick the wrong niche?
✦What if I am not expert in any industry other than accounting?
✦How do I choose a niche or narrow the focus of my business?
This week's Who's Really the Boss podcast episode highlights the benefits of choosing a niche and defining who you serve and how you provide those services.

When Change is Out of Your Control
Some people claim they love change and others own the fact that they prefer consistency. BUT, for those that love change, do you love change even when it is not your idea?!?!
As business owners and leaders, we have to remember that changes and new ideas coming from the top and impacting those we work with might not be as "exciting" to our teams.
One of the biggest lessons we have learned 💡from implementing change is to make sure it is aligned with the organization's vision, mission, and values. And, a close runner up to alignment, is clear communication📢that outlines what is changing, what is not changing, and what does that mean individually for each team member.
This week's Who's Really the Boss podcast episode highlights the importance of change management and communication when implementing change for business growth, improvement, or refinement.
