“Pretend you're signing on a new client and walk them through every single step of the process and as if you were that client from beginning to end, and then look at every single piece that needs to be developed along the way. Whether it's accounting or not. Really, that's just a matter of empathy and putting yourself in the client's shoes. Trying to understand their perspective.”
