    Why CAS Advisory Isn’t a Training Problem in Accounting Firms

    A question from The Kick C@$ Community Roundtable sparked a deeper conversation about advisory within accounting firms that want to offer CAS. In this episode, I break down why advisory struggles are rarely about training and more about alignment, communication, and capacity. I share hard-earned lessons from building real-time bookkeeping, insights from Greg Crabtree, and two practical ways to expand advisory without burning out your team. If you’re thinking about scaling CAS advisory, this is the filter to start with.

    Better CAS Advisory: A Narrow Bookkeeping Experiment

    What if avoiding bookkeeping entirely could actually weaken your advisory work? In this episode, Luke Templin breaks down how a single CAS client revealed the limitations of delivering CFO and advisory services without reliable bookkeeping fundamentals in place. Luke shares why he originally built a fractional CFO firm that deliberately avoided bookkeeping and what forced him to rethink that model. When client books became inconsistent, delayed, and unreliable during tax season. The solution wasn’t reviving full-service bookkeeping, but designing a narrow, advisory-aligned bookkeeping experiment focused on one objective: accurate numbers that support advisory.

    Why I’ve Avoided Bookkeeping for Five Years in My CAS Firm (And Why I’m Reconsidering It Now)

    In this episode, I talk about why I’ve avoided offering bookkeeping in my fractional CFO firm for nearly five years. It goes back to burnout from public accounting, payroll emergencies, bill pay disasters, and the realization that full-service bookkeeping is a zero-sum game. I share real stories, including processing payroll from a car during a family trip and the time a client bypassed controls and wired more than $50,000 to a bad actor. These experiences shaped how I built my firm and why I stayed out of bookkeeping for so long. But now I am reconsidering it. One of my clients is consistently months behind because their accountant is split between bookkeeping and tax work. It slows down my team and limits the strategic value we can deliver. So we are exploring a controlled, light-touch bookkeeping model that supports advisory without going back to full-service chaos. Sponsored by TeamUp.
