Stop Making Expensive Decisions in the Dark

You didn't start your practice because you love spreadsheets. You started it because you wanted to help people.


But somewhere between client #3 and clinician #5, the questions got harder. Can I afford to hire? Should I expand? Why does my bank account look like that? 😅


If you've ever made a big financial decision and then immediately Googled "did I just ruin my practice," this episode is for you.


This week, I sat down with James Childress, CPA, and founder of CAC Advisors. Honestly? He gets it. James went all in on serving therapists after a life-changing personal therapy experience. After losing his mom and brother in 2021, he doubled down on helping mental health practice owners build something real.

His team has helped clients double their practices in under three years. Not bad.


This is one of those conversations that's gonna make you wanna grab a notebook. James breaks down exactly how to know when you can afford to hire, what to invest in next, and how to stop guessing your way through your own business.

  • Your wish list is not your strategy. 
  • You don't need perfect books to make smart decisions. James walks through three "green lights" you can check right now.
  • The revenue cycle starts at the inquiry, not the invoice. Investing in intake isn't an expense. It's a multiplier.
