Year Anniversary

This week apr16.com turns 1!!!  So much has happened in the past year, I don’t know where to begin.  Lets start with: I opened my own firm, met a group of people who Have/Will shape my outlook on the accounting profession, I hired, I fired, and I have worked on the confidence to say that “I can.”  My reason for blogging was to share my experience, successes, challenges, and to connect with potentials wanting to convert from old ways.  In mid 2009, I was ready to check-out of public accounting.  I told myself there was no way I was going to do this for the rest of my life.  Most of my discouragement came from a rigid routine which I felt zero appreciation for and my environment did not breed growth; I was dying.  Through twitter, I stumbled upon an interview with Ron Baker challenging the timesheet as a viable metric in public accounting firms.  It was my “a-ha” moment.
Six months later I launched this bad-boy and the first post was a three part post on trashing the timesheet; I was ecstatic at the freedom of not tracking time and wanted to share all.  I feel it would only be fitting to celebrate this occasion with another video.  This came to me from John Shaver at Aries Technology Group.  It really needs no introduction, enjoy.

    Chris! Congratulations! I first came across you via your blog on fashion trends of the CPA firms. I cannot believe how much I’ve learned from you and the people mentioned in your post in a such a short period of time. Looking forward to many more years of success and learning — In Public Accounting – you are here to stay!
