“You don’t have to know hardly anything about bookkeeping or accounting or math to become very effective in your use of these important financial concepts.” – RJon Robins
In this episode, hear how law firm owner Xavier Martine has transformed his law mindset around his firm’s finances, from financial fear to full command of the numbers. As a member of How To Manage A Small Law Firm, he didn’t just grow his revenue, he rewired how he thinks about profitability, systems, and what it truly means to run a law firm like a business. After adopting Profit First Accounting principles, he began treating profitability like a new language, one he could study, speak, and eventually master.
