One of the biggest fears I hear from accountants is, “What if I hand off client relationships and my team leaves with my clients?”


I get it—I used to think the same way. But over time, I realized that holding on too tightly was actually holding me back.


In this episode, recorded from the Heathrow lounge before I head to the Web Summit in Doha, I break down:
✅ Why the fear of losing clients is overblown
✅ How trusting my team gave me more freedom and a stronger firm
✅ The key to creating a practice that runs without you
✅ The 3 drivers of employee motivation (and how to use them)


I’ve built a firm where I no longer check emails, take client calls, or manage day-to-day work—and my business is stronger than ever. If you want that kind of freedom too, you need to hear this.
