02:09 – Lakshmi Gupta
Well, thank you so much again, Gresham. It's a pleasure to be here and to share my experiences and thoughts with the community.
02:17 – Gresham Harkless
Yes, absolutely. Excited for it. And so to kind of kick everything off, I usually try to rewind the clock. Hear a little bit more on how you got started, what I call your CEO story.
02:26 – Lakshmi Gupta
All right. Well, sure. So you know, the Money Equation started in 2010, so we are in our 12th year right now and I originally came from India and had my education there. So I've always been an accountant ever since I started to think what am I going to do with my life? So I've stuck to that. And being an accountant, but also a business owner has been a dream ever since I knew I wanted to do something more than just crunch numbers and have that thought so deeply engraved in my brain.
I think it was a no-brainer that Money Equations were supposed to be born. And I chose something like Money Equations, the name because we wanted to be able to cover everything that goes around financial situations for people. Not just keeping their books and tax returns, but also helping small business owners achieve their goals and help them understand the things that they need to know as business owners on the financial side. But they just don't know what questions to ask or what are they supposed to know.
So we are trying to be not just a firm that, you know, supports them and gets mandatory things done for them, but also to educate them, help them, make them feel comfortable in the space they are so they can focus better on their business.
03:50 – Gresham Harkless
Yeah, I absolutely love that. And especially to understand like how vital that is and knowing your numbers and knowing your finances and all those things and how you understand how kind of it sounds like supporting and aligning with your clients to make sure that they are going to be able to stay in their zone of genius and execute on the things that they can. And of course, be able to lean on your expertise and knowledge in your team.
04:12 – Lakshmi Gupta
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, that's how it is. We try to make it a little different and make it kind of stand out and put that personal touch. This is why I sometimes call myself a CPA who is a certified public accountant, but also someone who pays close personal attention. So a lot of times I get that title from people I know, the feedback I get. So I started using it for myself. And it's pretty cool.
04:41 – Gresham Harkless
Yeah, absolutely. As much as it's probably cool for you, I'm sure it's even cooler, you know, for your clients as well. And being able to kind of understand that and, and have that relationship. I think that sometimes we, I always say forget about the human aspect of business. And so often part of that is having that close personal relationship, that close personal attention and that opportunity to, you know, connect and know and then of course, have the expertise and knowledge that comes with that too.
05:05 – Lakshmi Gupta
Absolutely. You're so right about that.
05:08 – Gresham Harkless
Awesome, awesome, awesome. So I wanted to now drill down a little bit and hear a little bit more about how you're serving your clients. Could you take us through a little bit more about that and what that looks like?
05:17 – Lakshmi Gupta
Yeah, so our clientele is pretty much small business owners. And when we say that, we mean everything. Round of small business owners, starting from creating a company for them, compliance behind it, getting them through the year with bookkeeping, payroll, and then finally tax planning and preparation. So our services revolve around that. And as you mentioned, Virtual Equations is a subsidiary of Money Equations, which was started about a year ago. That one focuses on making a business owner's life easier.
What that means is adding a virtual assistant to the piece, which is what Money Equations was lacking in somewhat ways, because it's not accounting for our tax well, we felt it was something necessary for a business owner just to function smoothly, to kind of get things done. Being a small business owner myself, I know how I started, and you wear multiple hats.
And we understand how overwhelming that whole process of being so many people can be for a business owner, which is why we started Virtual Equations where we provide virtual assistance to our clients. So, you know, having these two services, two entities combined, it has made what we provide to our clients a lot more powerful than what we used to be. Now I can truly say that we're a one-stop solution for any kind of financial and administrative equation that you might have going on in your business and personal life.
06:49 – Gresham Harkless
Love that. So would you consider that to be what I like to call your secret sauce? And that could be for yourself personally, the business, or a combination of both, but it's essentially what you feel kind of sets you apart and makes you unique. But do you think it's that ability to kind of understand both of those lanes and be able to create, for lack of a better term, that moat so that you can serve your clients?
07:06 – Lakshmi Gupta
I would say so. And I'm a very detailed, organized person myself and I invest a lot of time into being the. So, you know, I understand how overwhelming it could be for a business owner who does whatever they do best. But this is not their, you know, their strength. And that's where we come in. And more than that, I think what our biggest USP has been in Money Equations and now Virtual Equations is that we want to make sure that we mean it when we say that we provide top-notch customer service.
Our customer service, definitely. Our emphasis, our mission, and our focus is on the personal experience that our clients have with our company. It is very personalized, it's very catered to each individual who's working with us, even though they might own five entities. But it comes down to the way people work. Everyone has a different style Every client is different and we wanted to capture that.
We didn't want to be affirming crunching numbers and producing financial reports, just that of course that's a part of what we do. And that's probably what every CPA firm does. But what makes us stand out is really who we are as people. I know person to person, the experience we give a client. That's what I think our USP is. And if you go online and read about what our clients talk about us, that's what you would really find. The difference stands out right there.
08:37 – Gresham Harkless
Absolutely. So I wanted to switch gears a little bit and I want to ask you for what I call a CEO hack. So this could be like an app, a book, or a habit that you have. What's something that makes you more effective and efficient?
08:51 – Lakshmi Gupta
Time management. I think, you know, juggling life work, everything in between. You just need to make sure that you're managing your time well. You don't get overwhelmed, you don't get burnt out, you enjoy what you're doing and you discipline yourself around that. So for me, I think just kind of keeping in touch with my day-to-day life needs, my work needs, and keeping it organized.
The other thing I would add to that is one step at a time. One thing that I think a lot of business owners do is jump into too many things. They want to get big, they want to grow, which is great. But at the same time, it overwhelms and it kind of puts you in a place where you're trying to do a lot of things, but you're not achieving any of the goals because your hands are occupied too many places.
So take one step at a time achieve one goal and move on to the next. I think for me that has worked perfectly. Discipline in my work and life balance has worked perfectly. And so that's really, I mean, for me personally, that's, that's how I've grown my business. That's how it worked out for me. You know, just calendar management, time management, and being true to what you are, you know, providing for yourself and for your clients. That way you stay on top of everything.
10:19 – Gresham Harkless
Nice. And so I wanted to ask you now for what I call a CEO nugget. So this is a little bit more of a word of wisdom or piece of advice. I like to say it might be something you would tell your favorite client or if you were to hop into a time machine, you might tell your younger business self.
11:36 – Lakshmi Gupta
I would say, you know, I think listen to your clients. When you talk to your clients, listen to their pain points. As I said before as well, every client comes with pretty much the same needs because the services that you provide revolve around those four or five services you provide to a client, no matter what business you are in. But if you're listening and you're understanding their pain points around those services, what experiences they have had before coming to your firm, that would give you a lot of insight into how to take care of that client and provide them the best service possible.
We always say that we need to learn from our mistakes and I believe in that concept. But as a business owner, what I also believe in is to learn from the mistakes other firms and your competitors made just so you don't make the same mistakes. And the way you learn about that and learn from that is by listening to your clients when they speak to you the first time they come to you and say, here's why I'm switching my accounting firm, for example, listen to them because that's going to teach you a lot what not to do. And that's what I really follow.
I feel that that applies to any business owner, any kind of business, any industry, that if you're talking to your clients and you're listening and addressing their pain points and making sure I think that's how I have been focusing on and you know, I speak to my staff and I tell them the same thing, that this is what other firms are doing, which is not working well for them because we got a client from there. So let's not do the same thing. So I guess if I have to sum it up, it would be learning from your competitor's mistakes so you don't make the same.
13:29 – Gresham Harkless
Awesome. So I want to ask you now my absolute favorite question, which is the definition of what it means to be a CEO and similar to how you kind of re-looked at what it means to be a CPA in terms of a certified personal accountant and instead looked at it as something completely different. I wanted to ask you what being a CEO means to you, Lakshmi.
13:50 – Lakshmi Gupta
You know, I want to start with a quote here. Tony, the CEO of Zappos, once said, Chase the vision, not the money. The money will end up following you. And I think that's just so strong that the strength in that one sentence is so powerful. First, remember that as a CEO you are the leader, right? You're leading a team, you're leading your company. You have a mission set the way your culture is set up in the business.
A CEO does not mean that you're the boss and you have to delegate work and get things done. It is a vision. It's a culture setting of a company and you have to be that role model. You have to always remember where you started. And like this quote says, right, Chase the vision, not the money. Because if you continue to do that and you have a clear vision and you are excited and passionate about what you're doing, money is just a byproduct and it will happen.
But the moment you switch gears and say I'm the CEO of my company and my goal is to make money, you lose it right there. So that's what I am. I try to be. I would not say I am, but I try to be a role model to my staff. I try to be there for them. I try to help them out of the obstacles they might have. Kind of just going through their day-to-day stuff.
If I feel someone is having difficulty in getting something done or has been lagging behind me as a leader, as a role model, my role is not to question it, but also to see if I can help them find tools to fix the issues we are having. So I'm trying to be there as an assistant back to my employees, and my staff, and make sure that they don't lose their vision. They are here to earn a salary, but at the same time, we are all here for a purpose. We want to be happy when we come to work. So really that's how I'd sum it up.
15:56 – Gresham Harkless
Lakshmi, truly appreciate that definition and of course, I appreciate your time even more. So what I wanted to do now was pass you the mic, so to speak. Just to see if there's anything additional that you can let our readers and listeners know. And of course, how best people can get a hold of you and find out about all the awesome things you and your team are working on.
16:14 – Lakshmi Gupta
It's very fulfilling to see people grow because they're learning from your mistakes. Coming back to the analogy I put together before, but that's about it. We are a community that grows together and we help each other survive and succeed. And that's what I continue to do. And I will do so until I'm around and I'm serving the community in my own little ways. But again, thank you so much for having me here.
