Same Team. Bigger Outcomes.

Season 6
Episode 22
Lee Reams II from CountingWorks PRO
Most tax and accounting firms aren’t running out of talent.
They’re running out of capacity.
In this solo episode of The Growth Minded Accountant, Lee Reams shares a candid perspective on where the profession is heading — and why the firms that thrive over the next decade may not be the firms with the biggest teams, but the firms that learn how to create bigger outcomes with the team they already have.
Lee breaks down:
- why operational drag is quietly limiting firm growth
- how AI is being misunderstood across the industry
- why human expertise becomes more valuable in the AI era
- how connected systems create operational leverage
- why cookie-cutter firms are becoming easier to ignore
- how narrative, visibility, and responsiveness are reshaping modern firm growth
- what the “future firm” actually looks like
This episode is a thought leadership conversation for firm owners who feel caught between old workflows and rising client expectations — and want to modernize intentionally without losing the human side of their business.
Because the future firm isn’t necessarily bigger.
It’s smarter.
More connected.
More proactive.
More human where it matters most.
