Henry Huie - Making the leap
Welcome back to The Fun CPA Podcast! Host Yuri Kapilovich is joined by a special guest, Henry Huie.
With over a decade of CPA experience at renowned firms like Deloitte and Citrin Cooperman, Henry made the bold decision to leave the security of a steady paycheck to start his own firm. This shift is becoming increasingly common, particularly in the tax and accounting industries, as professionals seek greater autonomy and fulfillment.
In this episode, Yuri and Henry dive into his inspiring journey—from his pivotal "a-ha" moment to the work he put in building and designing a firm tailored to his vision.
