In this episode, Brannon sits down with Ryan Pulice CPA, a (financial planner/accounting firm owner) to explore his unique journey of finding his niche, working with small businessbusiness owners, and real estate investors. Ryan’s venture into accounting was almost accidental. After starting his college journey in computer science he found that it was not the path for him. At his father’s suggestion, he started down the accounting route and–learning that it is the language of business–discovered a passion.
Ryan consequently started his own accounting business and expanded by acquiring another CPA firm in 2019. He has since grown his firm by combining a love for real estate investment with a desire to provide the best services to clients. He offers insights on the benefits of owning your real estate and why aligning personal interests with your practice can enhance client relationships.
Ryan and Brannon also discuss the critical need to bring new CPAs into the profession, strategies for creating a more accessible career path, and how technology—like AI—is reshaping the industry.
If you are struggling to find your niche, looking for ways to marry your passion with your business, or advice on growing your business, this is an episode you don’t want to miss! Tune in for book recommendations, a funny tax-return-turned-love story, and Ryan’s thoughts on how mindset influences success in business and life.
