(And how to stop making them)

In this free 5-day email course, you’ll discover the critical financial blindspots that keep $2M+ business owners from making truly informed decisions.

WHAT YOU’LL GET INSIDE:

5 Short Emails – 1 financial wake-up call per day

Each email takes less than 4 minutes to read. No fluff. Just the mistake, why it matters, and what you can do about it.

Day 1: The bank balance trap – Making decisions based on what’s in your checking account instead of looking at your full financial picture.

Day 2: The profitable company that almost went broke – How a $20M almost ran out of cash due to ignoring cash flow management.

Day 3: The tax bill that came out of nowhere – Why waiting until April to think about taxes costs you way more than planning during the year.

Day 4: When growth nearly killed the business – The upscale retailer that signed 20-year leases without proper financial guidance.

Day 5: The silent partner you’re ignoring – Your numbers are trying to tell you something. But you’re probably not listening.

Who this is for:

  • Business owners running $2M+ companies who make major decisions based on their bank account balance

  • Entrepreneurs who know their books are probably a mess but don’t know where to start fixing them

  • Successful operators who understand their product or service but struggle with the financial side of business

  • Growth-minded owners who’ve experienced cash crunches despite being “profitable on paper”

  • Anyone who’s ever been surprised by a tax bill, payroll crisis, or cash flow problem they didn’t see coming

You need a cultural alignment, and most CPAs are transactional. Any CPA can crunch numbers. Look for someone who really understands your model and can talk through things versus just ticking boxes.

I’M MIKE AIRHART – AND I CAN HELP YOU AVOID MISTAKES THAT COST BUSINESS OWNERS MONEY

I run business development for Accountability Services, a CPA firm that works differently than what you’re used to.

We don’t just show up once a year to file taxes. We work with business owners who want to make smarter decisions based on their actual financial reality, not their gut feeling or bank balance.

Over the years, our team has worked with hundreds of smart, successful business owners running $2M, $5M, even $20M+ businesses.

And we’ve watched them make the same five mistakes over and over again.

The difference between “covers compliance needs” and “guides owners to achieve business goals”?

It’s never just about filing taxes or closing books.

It’s about having a true advisory partner who helps you weld your strategic vision to your financial reality. Someone who tells you what you don’t want to hear but need to. Someone who’s emotionally invested in helping you achieve your goals, both in and out of the office.

That’s what this course will show you how to do.

Stop making decisions in the dark. Run your small business with the same financial tools no big business would ever make a decision without.
