Many CPAs see the value in niching but find it difficult to get started. Sheila Hansen, CPA went from having a wide variety of clients to having a clear, narrow niche with clients whose challenges are consistent. Doing so has helped her standardize and systematize, save time, and increase prices by a factor of five.

I used to think I needed more time. If I just had more time, I could solve so many more problems. But thinking that way never solved enough problems to give me more time. Instead, I maintained a status quo of “never having enough time.”


You might want more time. More free time. For your health. For your family. To travel. You might think you need more time. But “more time” isn’t the solution to the “not-enough-time” problem. 


If what you want is more time, the answer lies in changing what you think.


Changing what you think in order to get what you want might be the simplest but hardest thing you can do. 


I hope you’ll accept the challenge. :)

Accountants run into many hiring and staffing-related challenges. 


You want to know:

  • Which role to fill next
  • Where to find talent
  • If it’s time to go offshore
  • How to hire well the first time. 


Because there are so many questions related to hiring and staffing, I am doing a series of podcast episodes to get insight into the problems and solutions related to staff and hiring challenges. Making hiring mistakes is expensive—in terms of money, time, and emotional investment. Making a great hire can really pay off. I want to help you hire as well as you can. 


This interview is the fourth in the series, and we are talking about how to be successful when going offshore. 


My guest is Nick Sinclair, founder and CEO of TOA Global, TOA is the global leader in talent solutions for the accounting industry. They supply 3500+ great offshore people to over 1000 firms in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
