Your Tax Bill Shouldn’t Be THIS High (+ What CPAs Won’t Tell You) — with Moshe Amsel
Send us Fan MailWhat if we told you… you’re *significantly* overpaying on your tax bill? In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Moshe Amsel, CPA, enrolled IRS agent, and tax strategist, for a jaw-dropping conversation about how high-earning attorneys are *legally* slashing their tax bills (some by as much as $250,000!) and building generational wealth. Moshe breaks down the strategies most CPAs have never heard of, and drops eyebrow-raising insights on how Donald Trump was able to tell the world, “I pay $0 in taxes.” How much are YOU leaving on the table every single year? Watch now.📰 About Moshe Amsel:Moshe Amsel is the brilliant founder and CEO of Profit with Law, on a mission to empower law firm owners to build significant generational wealth. He has spent decades helping high-earning attorneys like you legally slash their tax bills and see tremendous success in growing their business. Inspired by his grandfather (a Holocaust survivor who built generational change for 36 grandchildren), Moshe brings a powerfully personal approach to helping lawyers keep more of what they earn, forging a legacy they can pass on.👉 Sasha and Moshe explore:— The *critical* difference between a CPA and a tax strategist (confusing the two is costing you).— The Augusta Rule: how to turn $52,000 of personal expenses into a legal business deduction.— The advanced “partnership strategy” that lets you walk away with $250K in tax savings.— Why waiting until November to think about taxes could cost you 5-10 tax savings options.— How to legally pass tax-free money to your children and set them up for life.— The real reason building assets (not maximizing your income) is the move every attorney needs to make.👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:— Google "Augusta Rule" and calculate how many days per year you host meetings or events in your home. That number multiplied by your home's daily rental value is money you're currently leaving on the table.— If you're earning over $494,000 as an attorney, ask a tax strategist this week whether you're losing your QBI deduction.— Open a Roth IRA for your child this week. If they're earning any income — even working in your business — they're eligible. 📞 Connect with Moshe Amsel:• Website: https://www.profitwithlaw.com/pwl-about• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosheamsel/📞Connect with Sasha Berson:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grow-law/• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grow_law/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@growlaw • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growlaw • Email: [email protected]• Phone: (312) 854-7724#LawyerWebsite #LawyerSEO #LawFirmMarketingIf you enjoyed today’s show, please leave a review and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

The Gold Standard: How Smart Law Firms Achieve a 20–25% Profit Margin — with Ryan Kimler
Send us Fan MailIs a 20-25% profit margin only a dream? Not for the top firms! In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with fractional CFO Ryan Kimler to figure out what separates “meh” firms from the 4% that cross $1 MILLION. Ryan explains how smart owners reverse-engineer their growth, starting with their take-home pay. They dig into some math (it’s fun, we promise), like payroll, overhead, and marketing, to hit that golden 20–25% profit margin. Tune in today.📰 About Ryan Kimler:Ryan Kimler is the founder of Net Profit CFO, with a highly impressive track record. He partners with law firm owners to increase net profit margins by 52%+ and unlock 6 figures in additional owner distributions — often within 90 days! Ryan is also the creator of the Profit Clarity Blueprint™, a system built to replace reactive financial decisions with clear profit targets, cashflow forecasting, and CEO-level visibility. You can find Ryan at The Legal CFO podcast, where he teaches lawyers how to run firms that actually pay them back.👉 Sasha and Ryan explore:— Why only 4% of businesses cross $1M — and how to model a profitable, scalable firm after them.— Why start with take-home pay, then reverse-engineer your profit, staffing, and revenue.— Ryan’s law firm benchmarks: ~20% overhead, ~45% payroll, and 10–15% marketing.— Why your billable staff must generate 3–5x their total compensation.— Why chasing revenue without profit margin backfires ($1M more work can mean just $13K in profit).— The CEO shift that creates 7-figure law firms.👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:— Audit your expenses using Ryan’s benchmarks: aim for ~20% overhead, ~45% payroll, and 10–15% marketing to unlock 20–25% profit.— Run the ROI test: every billable team member should generate at least 3–5x their total compensation.— Shift into CEO mode: block weekly “thinking time” on your calendar to focus on strategy, systems, and growth (not cases).📞 Connect with Ryan Kimler:• Website: https://netprofitcfo.com/• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryankfinancialclarityllc/📞Connect with Sasha Berson:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grow-law/• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grow_law/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@growlaw • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growlaw • Email: [email protected]• Phone: (312) 854-7724#LawyerWebsite #LawyerSEO #LawFirmMarketingIf you enjoyed today’s show, please leave a review and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with the “CEO whisperer”, Cameron Herold, who helped a business scale from $2M to $106M in just 6 years! Cameron explains why most founders get trapped doing work they hate, what to delegate using a *BRUTAL* thought experiment, and why every successful firm has a CEO and COO. Serious about growing without the stress and exhaustion? Tune in today.📰 About Cameron Herold:Cameron Herold is the wildly talented founder of the COO Alliance and host of the Second in Command Podcast. He’s often called the “CEO Whisperer” — the guy leaders call when their company is growing fast and starting to feel messy. Cameron helped scale 1-800-GOT-JUNK from $2M to $106M in 6 years, then spent the years after teaching CEOs and COOs how to grow without burning out. He’s written 6 best-selling business books, spoken in 29 countries, and teaches leaders how to step out of the way and let their firms grow without them.👉 Sasha and Cameron explore:— How delegating low-value work yields better decisions at the top.— What the 2-hour rule is: If you could only work 2 hours a day, what would you focus on?— How to split vision and execution. This CEO–COO advantage is your biggest growth accelerant.— Why hiring a strong operator pays for itself within the first few months… even with a $240K salary!— Why firms that scale too fast are forced into painful turnover later.👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:— Run Cameron’s 2-hour thought experiment: if you only had 2 hours a day to work, decide exactly what stays on your plate.— Separate vision from execution: Assign one person full ownership of bringing your ideas to life (even if that starts part-time).— Reframe how you look at senior hires. Evaluate their impact after the first payroll, not the first year.— Block weekly thinking time on your calendar and treat it as non-negotiable work.📞 Connect with Cameron Herold:• Website: https://cameronherold.com/• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronherold/📞Connect with Sasha Berson:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grow-law/• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grow_law/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@growlaw • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growlaw • Email: [email protected]• Phone: (312) 854-7724#LawyerWebsite #LawyerSEO #LawFirmMarketingIf you enjoyed today’s show, please leave a review and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Stuck at $2–$5M? The Brutal Truth About Scaling to 8 Figures — with Luis Scott
Send us Fan MailEager to scale past $5M? It’s going to be stressful and deeply uncomfortable.

Tune in now.📰 About Luis Scott:Luis Scott is the founder of 8 Figure Firm Consulting, where he helps law firm owners break through growth ceilings and scale from low 7 figures to 8 figures and beyond. As a former managing partner and COO, Luis understands that real, meaningful growth is disruptive.

The guy knows the legal SEO game inside and out, and he doesn’t sugarcoat what works today.👉 Sasha and Jason explore:– The biggest shifts in directory SEO since Google started prioritizing local results.– Why measuring ROI on directories is tricky, and what not to do.– Which directories are worth your time and money, and which are dead weight.– How to build a smart, layered digital marketing strategy that includes directories as one of the pillars.– Why so many lawyers miss the mark by expecting directories to deliver direct leads.👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:– Use legal directories to boost your SEO, not as your main lead source. Treat them as authority builders, not magic lead funnels.– Track ROI the right way, look for improvements in search rankings, not just calls or form fills.– Focus on the 3-4 directories that dominate Page 1 in your market (like Justia, Super Lawyers, FindLaw). Skip the rest.– Build your law firm referral network early, use that cash flow to fund smarter long-term marketing plays like SEO and directories.– Audit your directory listings twice a year, make sure info is up-to-date and your profile is fully optimized.❗❗❗Is your law firm built to last, or just to survive? 👉 Join Sasha Berson on August 21 for a free webinar on turning your firm into a $10M sellable asset.Spots are limited — grab yours now: https://growlaw.co/10m-sellable-asset-webinar?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=webinar ❗❗❗📞 Connect with Jason Craver:• Website: https://attorneyatlawmagazine.com/author/jcraver • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-craver-564279107 📞Connect with Sasha Berson:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grow-law/• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grow_law/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@growlaw • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growlaw • Email: [email protected]• Phone: (312) 854-7724#LawyerWebsite #LawyerSEO #LawFirmMarketingIf you enjoyed today’s show, please leave a review and subscribe so you never miss an episode.
