How I Built My Firm: Incremental, Intentional Growth (w/ Mike Sylvester)

Description

Fort Wayne firm owner Mike Sylvester breaks down how his 3‑partner shop runs a calm, profitable practice: 32‑hour off‑season weeks, no second tax season, and a qualification funnel that turns 530 inquiries into right‑fit clients. 


We get into a staff-first culture that crushes turnover, adding friction to onboarding, SEO that still works, moving off Intuit payroll, and packaging for 2026. Plus Mike’s take on AI: garbage in, garbage out, and why 60 percent of new clients arrive with a mess. If you want a stable firm that grows on your terms, start here.
