๐ “If your clients outsource accounting to you… why won’t you outsource your accounting?”
Someone DM'd me as asked to outsource my clients to a 3rd party white label accounting firm. When I said nope, the response was I should be sensitive because clients are outsourcing to me. I take offense to that statement because it is not the same..
My clients aren’t outsourcing judgment.
They’re outsourcing execution + expertise.
They hire me because:
• I know their industry
• I understand their workflows
• I ask uncomfortable questions
• I catch problems before they become expensive
• My name is attached to the work
White-label outsourcing removes exactly what my clients pay for:
❌ Context
❌ Accountability
❌ Industry nuance
❌ Direct access to the person responsible
White-label outsourcing gives them:
❌ A mystery bookkeeper
❌ Zero context
❌ No ownership
❌ A game of financial telephone
๐ฅIf scaling requires me to hide who’s actually doing the work, I’m not building a firm — I’m building plausible deniability.
For my firm, transparency matters; clarity is part of the value.
✅ My name is on the work.
✅My reputation is on the line.
✅And my clients know exactly who to call when questions come up ๐
