A New Era of Accounting Entrepreneurship with Matt Tait

In Episode 93 of the Big 4 Transparency Podcast, Dominic sits down with Matt Tait, CEO of Decimal, to unpack how accounting firms can scale profitably without burning out their founders. Matt shares how Decimal evolved from a modern CAS firm into a franchised “firm-in-a-box,” helping entrepreneurs launch and grow accounting firms with enterprise-grade infrastructure, standardized tech stacks, and 50%+ margins. The conversation dives into why private equity is actually fueling entrepreneurship in accounting, how to break free from the owner-operator trap, and what it really takes to build a firm that’s scalable, sellable, and future-ready.
