If you've been building automations for a while, you already know the frustrating part isn't the tech — it's finding a niche where the pain is real, the budgets are serious, and the client actually understands why they need you. Most automation consultants spend years bouncing between generic projects, undercharging, and re-scoping work that should have been productized months ago.
I built this curriculum because accounting firms are one of the clearest, most underserved opportunities in the automation space — and almost nobody is going after them systematically. The problem is identical across thousands of firms: every tax season, they're manually chasing clients for documents, their staff is buried in follow-up emails, and their partners have no real-time visibility into who's ready to file and who isn't. It's painful, it's expensive in staff time, and it happens every single year. That's a recurring problem — which means it justifies a recurring fee.
What I've mapped out in this course is the full arc: understanding the firm's actual structure and pain, building a portal and automation stack that solves it cleanly, and then going to market with a productized offer that has real pricing confidence behind it. The sales section isn't a soft overview of "relationship building" — it's a call framework, a closing move, and a proposal template. Because a system you can't sell is just a portfolio piece.
The delivery section matters just as much as the build. Onboarding a firm properly — running the workflow audit, configuring client records, training staff, and showing up with a performance report at season's end — is what separates a vendor who gets paid once from a partner who gets renewed. That distinction is worth thousands of dollars per client per year.
If you're ready to stop scoping custom one-offs and start selling a service that accounting firms will pay for, renew, and refer — this is where you build it. Let's get to work.
