Mike Payne, JD - CPA

8 years ago this month I gave EY notice that I was leaving to start my own firm. In retrospect, I applaud my naive energy, but I must admit I had no idea what I was doing. 😕 

That all changed when I came across David Cristello's Growing Your Firm podcast. For the first time in my short yet lonely entrepreneurial journey, I had found my people. I related deeply to firm owners with the same struggles as my own, and was inspired with their stories of success. 🚀

Now the journey has come full circle, as I'll be honored to speak at the 2025 Growing Your Firm Summit among some of my most respected peers:

🔥 Michael Ly
Dr. Jackie Meyer, CPA, CCTA 🦄
Randy Crabtree, CPA
Brandon Hall, CPA
Tal Ben Bassat (CPA, Esq.)
🐻 Dan Luthi
Keila Hill-Trawick, CPA, MBA
Darren Root
Jennifer Wilson

Come join the party 🎉 on Dec 4!
