Helping multi-generational businesses lay a foundation for future generations.

This channel focuses exclusively on tax, systems, and strategy around succession planning. We are here for the founder looking to encourage an employee to step into the position of leadership and ownership, or for the next generation looking to fasttrack what's required to be a leader of an already established company.

GWCPA has helped more than 100 businesses into the 2nd and 3rd generation. We're a 75 year old company, through 9 successive partners, ourselves. We know the challenges.

This is also the home base of The Art of Succession Podcast, an interview show featuring the stories of owners who've purchased their businesses.

Did anyone else see this briefly in their Subscriptions or Homepage this morning? Looks like it could be an "experimental feature," with YT moving away from titles & channel names entirely to thumbs only.

(I was unable to screenshot it when I saw it, and my screen refreshed back with the full metadata a few seconds later. But I recreated this in Canva from memory)

What's YOUR outlook on 2025?

Does the concept behind this video still hold up? Does it need a refresh for the new year?

This was our most popular video for the first year of our new channel. Have you seen it yet?

Great running into The Downtown CPA this morning at the MACPA Women to Watch breakfast, who had very kind things to say on the mic about my partner, Sam.

Next Friday marks 7 years for me since I started at GWCPA, closing my company to partner with a mentor.

Succession has taught me patience, but also the compounding effect of a shared vision. It's incredible how far we've come.

I started a great book on this morning's walk, The Succession Solution. I'll probably do a video on it...

He asks one clarifying question in the intro: WHY do you want to start the process of succession planning? That answer solves so many other questions in negotiation.

So what's your WHY?
