## Resource

If your CPA doesn't know your name, you're a small fish in a big pond... and it's costing you. In this episode, Mike and Kevin break down why big accounting firms are structurally incapable of serving high earners well, share real client stories where the difference in service was life-changing, and explain exactly how Revo is built differently from the ground up. Some of the key discussion points A $3M earner couldn't get a callback for three weeks from a Big 10 firm. Revo got her a cost segregation estimate the same afternoon. Big firms are built on billable hours, not client outcomes. The incentives are not aligned in the client's favor. Revo deliberately overpays staff and builds excess capacity so clients never fall through the cracks, but always receive premium strategy and service. You don't have to settle for being just a number. Whether you're a client or a CPA, there's a better pond for you to be a big fish in. Are you paying for a big firm's reputation while receiving poor, unpersonalized service? Like, subscribe, and share with someone who deserves better than a three-week wait on a simple question.
