In this podcast episode of The Concierge CPA, host Jackie Meyer interviews Chad Huebsch, a former student of her coaching program and an accounting firm owner who transitioned to virtual work while traveling across the country with his family in an RV. They explore Chad’s entrepreneurial journey, highlighting his shift from a corporate career to running his own firm and how he found his passion for tax prep and advisory services, particularly for small business owners and real estate clients.

Chad emphasizes how going virtual significantly improved his work-life balance and expanded his hiring options, allowing him to recruit talent nationwide, a key benefit for entrepreneurs adapting to virtual work environments. Chad’s firm runs entirely remotely, and he shares how the firm handles the challenges of maintaining human connection and team cohesion with daily huddles, which foster communication and collaboration despite the physical distance.

One pivotal moment in Chad’s journey was when he sold his largest tax plan, saving a client $1 million in taxes. The plan focused on complex strategies like the qualified small business stock exemption and cost segregation. This accomplishment showcases the value of strategic tax planning for entrepreneurs and the confidence it gave Chad to push forward in his entrepreneurial ideas.

The conversation also touches on the freedom and flexibility offered by virtual work, allowing Chad and his family to explore all 48 states while running his business. Chad reflects on how important it is for entrepreneurs to pursue their passions and create systems that align with their values and lifestyles. He encourages business owners to embrace technology, take calculated risks, and remain dedicated to their entrepreneurial ideas to achieve success.

Throughout the episode, Jackie and Chad dive deep into the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and virtual work, illustrating how modern tax professionals can thrive in a changing landscape.
