£5M to £35M in 3 Years | Steve Sharp, NUVO | E373

Steve Sharp has bought 45 accountancy firms in 17 years. His view? The day the deal completes, you're 10% of the way there. Steve is founder and CEO of Nuvo, the fastest growing firm in the UK accountancy top 100. £35m revenue, just over 400 people, 149% growth in a single year. It took him 20 years to get to £5m. It took 3 more to get to £35m. We get into why buying a business is the easy bit, why he's never made a redundancy in 22 years despite 45 acquisitions, what happened when he moved 100 people onto a four-day week, and the day he went from the biggest fee earner in the business to its biggest overhead. If your growth plan is "buy a few more of them", watch this before you sign anything. This episode's in partnership with CEOfriend. Its CFO advisor reads your P&L and your forecast, runs the scenarios and shows you where the cash gap is while you can still close it. First month free with code STWTRIAL:
