🔴 Bookkeepers On Fire | Welcomes Wayne Higdon

Bookkeepers On Fire 🔥 w/ Wayne Higdon — From Hourly to Value, QBD to QBO, and Building a Firm You Love Today we’re joined by the legendary (and proudly introverted!) Wayne Higdon to talk about his journey—from a sociology major and “Bob Cratchit with a coal stove” 😄 to a modern firm owner running on value pricing and QuickBooks Online. We swap stories from Scaling New Heights (remember that wild Orlando hotel + Bahamas trip?!), why Brittany Brown’s keynote hit so hard, and get real about moving clients from QuickBooks Desktop to QBO, adopting RightTool, and preparing a lifestyle exit toward retirement without losing the joy (or profits). In this episode, you’ll learn: How Wayne shifted from hourly billing to fixed-fee/value pricing—and why that unlocked team growthA practical playbook for transitioning clients from Desktop to QBO (who to migrate first, and how to position the change)When it’s still smart to keep a client on Desktop payroll (allocations + cleanup realities)Power-user tips with RightTool (allocations, batch edit, balance-sheet adjustments for TB-to-tax cleanups)What to tell clients about the new QBO UI so they don’t panic (shortcuts, favorites, and teaching the “same engine, new face”)Real-world perspectives on firm succession: sell, team buy-in, or lifestyle exit (keep profits, work a few hours/week)Resources & Mentions RightTool for QBO (free + pro tiers) — allocations, batch edits, balance-sheet toolsQBO Desktop App (multi-company convenience—why Wayne liked it before RightTool took over)QBO’s new UI — set Favorites/Shortcuts; teach clients the “same under the hood” mindsetHector Garcia’s QBO UI deep-dive video (great client-friendly walkthrough) Join the CommunityLove this convo?
