Could You Be Ready for a Fractional CFO? with Eric Joern [E216]

Thanks to our Partner, AppFueled

Too many shop owners start their businesses because they're great at fixing cars, not because they're accountants, tax experts, or financial strategists. Unfortunately, that's where a lot of costly mistakes begin.

Brian sits down with Eric Joern of Kaizen CPAs for an honest conversation about the financial side of running an auto repair shop. From common bookkeeping mistakes and tax planning myths to the real difference between a bookkeeper, CPA, and fractional CFO, this episode is packed with practical advice that can help you build a stronger, more profitable business. Brian also shares lessons from his own entrepreneurial journey, including the financial mistakes that ultimately shaped the way he runs his business today.

If you're ready to understand your numbers, make better business decisions, and build a shop that's financially healthy for the long haul, you won't want to miss this conversation. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
