Bookkeepers are DONE playing small. 🔥

In our latest Bookkeepers on Fire episode, Deb and Donna sat down with Matt Tait of Decimal – a “recovering attorney” turned multi-business founder who's blowing up the traditional firm model and turning bookkeeping into a scalable, lifestyle-friendly business opportunity.

Here’s a taste of what we got into 👇

💥 Stop building yourself a job. Most firm owners stay stuck “doing the work” instead of building a business. Matt breaks down why founders should NOT be the ones in the GL…and what to focus on instead.

🧠 Cleanups, pricing & boundaries (aka: stop bleeding profit). From NOT selling cleanups first, to pricing in relationships (emails, meetings, Slack chaos), Matt shares how Decimal avoids the margin-killing traps most firms fall into.

🚀 Franchising bookkeeping as an operating system. Decimal isn’t just tech + offshore staff. It’s a full blueprint: vertical specialization, community, Philippines-based team support, and AI at the “tip of the spear” so franchisees can actually grow…not drown.

If you’re a bookkeeper or accountant who’s tired of being “just the back office” and ready to think like an entrepreneur, this convo is for you.
