Unlocking Profits for Lawyers: RJon Robins on Escaping the Trap of Traditional Accounting
Are you unknowingly flying blind in your business? If your accountant is giving you a rearview mirror of what already happened, instead of a roadmap to where you’re going, you may be sabotaging your profits—and not even know it.
In this high-impact episode of The Profit Answer Man, we sit down with legendary entrepreneur, attorney, and author RJon Robins to blow the lid off common financial myths that are keeping small law firm owners broke, overworked, and stuck. If you’re running a law firm—or any service-based business—this is the financial intervention you didn’t know you needed.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- The shocking truth about why your accountant may be hurting your business.
- The difference between a financial accountant and a management accountant—and which one you actually need.
- Why Profit First is more than a book—it’s a strategic doctrine of freedom.
- How to build businesses that are instantly profitable—and run without you.
- The mindset shift from sacrifice to profit (and why this matters more than your marketing plan).
Key Takeaways:
- Not All Accountants Are Created Equal: RJon breaks down why most small business owners rely on the wrong type of accountant and what that costs them in clarity and cash flow.
- Rearview vs. Roadmap: Traditional CPAs are historians. What you need is a strategic partner who helps you see ahead and build profit into your future.
- Law Firm? No Excuses: If RJon can help lawyers (the ultimate billable-hour addicts) become profitable business owners, the rest of us have no excuse.
- Doctrine of Profit: RJon’s core philosophy turns the typical entrepreneurial suffering narrative on its head. You don’t need to burn out to be successful.
- Only 90 Days a Year: RJon now works in his main business just 90 days a year. He spends the rest of his time launching ventures that are immediately profitable. That’s not luck—it’s strategy.
