Managing Partner, MiddletonRaines + Zapata LLP

As the managing partner of a firm of 37 people, I have felt protective of the strategies we are employing to be successful. I think that is the CPA in me. We will have almost doubled in year two of our firm over year one at the end of this calendar year. How have we done that? By not selling, marketing or managing like a CPA.
