John Scott, Tax Partner at Anders and Virtual CFO, joins Tom and Adam, to discuss Anders Virtual CFO’s services for the legal industry and John’s recently launched book, “Judicial Dollars and Cents.” They discuss John’s background, the unique financial aspects of law firms, and the importance of data and metrics in scaling businesses. John explains the benefits of specialized financial services for law firms and stresses the importance of understanding cash needs, managing cash flow, and aligning partner compensation with firm goals.
The accounting profession historically has been like taking a trip with an atlas that’s 10 years out of date. However, today, what we can do with modern accounting and advisory services is much like the Waze app or Google Maps; you’re getting instantaneous data that will tell you ‘Up ahead there’s a roadblock and here’s a workaround.’ This real-time info keeps you on track with your financial forecast. You can’t make any business decisions on historical information; you must have current information and be able to look forward so that you can make good decisions and stay on track to reach your goals. – John Scott, Anders Partner, Tax, and Virtual CFO
