Sometimes, the best businesses start by accident.

Erica Goode, CPA, once managed billion dollar budgets for a Fortune 50 company.

When she left that job to give her all to being a mom, she wasn't thinking about launching her firm.

Then, one day at her daughter’s Taekwondo class, she casually offered to help the owner with an accounting problem.

That moment sparked something unexpected.

What stands out to me is Erica's intentional approach to growing her business.

She only took on new clients as her kids’ school schedules opened up.

Her practice expanded naturally through word-of-mouth, and she was selective about which clients she took on.

The result is a very profitable solo practice that fits perfectly into Erica's life as a mom and a CPA.

Her story is a great reminder that success in accounting doesn’t always follow the same route.
