Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Brad Ebenhoeh. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Brad, appreciate you joining us today. Do you manage your own social media?
We do all of our social media in-house through our marketing team. All of our content is 100% authentic and in the spirit of helping businesses succeed and learn more about accounting. We solve the problem of presenting a classically not interesting subject and making it easy to understand and apply in the real world. Even better, it’s also clean, pretty and visually interesting. Our creative clients appreciate it the most, I think! In addition to our more subject-based content, we also love sharing our behind the scenes look into Accountfully’s unique culture.
Brad, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I left the classic corporate accounting world in search of a better way to do business. The world I came from normalized working 60+ hour weeks, being in constant burnout mode, and doing it all wearing a suit and bathed in Fluorescent lighting. The tools and systems were often complicated and archaic. I knew there was a better way to do accounting on both ends. As an accountant, I could have a much better quality of life, balancing work and play, while still getting things done to a high standard. By bringing technology to the world of accounting, I could leverage cloud based systems, and modern applications that could support myself and clients from anywhere. Better efficiency means more time and freedom of movement, which translates to more growth for companies spending less time in their books. My wife and I officially left the Big Four world and founded Accountfully in 2012. We have been growing rapidly ever since. Our concept of matching modern brands with modern accounting solutions has been wildly successful. We stay on the cutting edge of newer tools and systems and meet the needs of our clients as technology evolves. Being a cloud based company, it was very easy for us to maintain continuity of operations as we grew and through the pandemic. We were already set up to work remotely as it is. We have been on the Inc. 5000 list for four years in a row, with those growth numbers remaining healthy through the challenging times of 2020 and 2021. We support some amazing companies and have grown as a company with a large remote team that, like our clients, span the US. It is so amazing to see my initial vision come to life and stay strong ten years into this adventure. We truly love all of our clients and share the pride in their success. Seeing these small businesses and startups turn into huge companies is so satisfying. We offer a wide range of services, from more Ad-Hoc, hourly, to full accounting, to finance and advisory, inventory management, deductions management for CPG companies, and Tax services. We can support your needs from basic bookkeeping support to a fractional CFO. We improve efficiencies and profitability for our clients. Not only with the accounting support, but with our systems, processes and smart tools we create and use.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
Our clients are our biggest source of new clients. We take really good care of our client companies and earn a lot of referrals. Second to that would be the support from our industry partners that share us on their websites and to their networks.
We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.
My cofounder and business partner is my wife, Meredith. She heads the operations side of the house, while I manage more of the sales and marketing piece. We both come from Big Four accounting backgrounds and experienced the same challenges that led to the creation of Accountfully. Many companies can’t say that their leaders are inspirational, effective, and still like each other at the end of the day. Not only do we share the management of running a business, we also have young twins at home and new baby born earlier this year. Our visions align well and we do best when we focus on our passions within the business.
