How to Come Up with a Business Idea

Our Journey Combining Vision and Execution to Create a $5M Business
Start with Your Vision
My partner, Adam Hale, and I started Summit CPA in 2002 with a vision. Every business idea first starts out as a simple vision . My first inkling of a business idea started by wanting to change the usual CPA firm dynamic. I wondered what it would be like if accountants found a sustainable, family-friendly work environment so they wouldn’t have to work 60-80 hours a week during tax season. Then, I considered what a positive impact accountants could have on their clients by providing real, tangible value. The kind of value that helps business owners make sound business decisions with data to back up their choices. These ideas soon became a passion, and I decided to start my own startup CPA firm with Adam to change the way people think about accounting.
