Regardless of whether you work in the tax industry, I think this is a book everyone should read at least once—young people in general, or anyone who wants to live like a young person. I don’t want to live like a squirrel running endlessly in a wheel. I want to have my own dream and live passionately, always seeking what makes life fun. Did I live today without regrets? Did my heart race today? Did I grow, even a little, today?

I work in the tax industry, and when I heard that a tax firm had published a book, I bought it. Usually, people publish a book after they’ve achieved all the goals they set. This book is about a company that’s just getting started and shows the direction it hopes to grow in. I imagine that wasn’t an easy decision, and it looks like a truly impressive challenge!

My overall impression is that the book captures the firm’s ambition to break free from chronic problems in the tax industry, keep growing, and become a leader in the field. It feels unfinished in a way, as if the authors are saying, ‘This is our goal—keep an eye on us!’ I hope they publish another book in ten years as a progress report. As someone in the same industry, I found myself reading it from several different perspectives. As a practitioner, I like growth and learning, but I think you

I happened upon it at a bookstore, and it was such an easy read that I ended up buying it. The catchphrases throughout the book really stood out to me. After reading it, I’m convinced this tax firm will reach its target revenue before 2033, nine years from now. Today, too, I’ll try not to become just like everyone else. It’s a book full of great insights.

I read about interesting topics that apply to running any business, not just the tax industry. Seeing the CEO’s direction and other employees leave the firm made me ask myself, ‘Do I dream of taking a risk, or do I dream of security?’ The young leaders’ ambitious goals and the way they act on them already had my heart racing. If I worked in tax and knew this firm, it would be an unbeatable place to make a fresh start. The CEO says they want to find ‘fun.’ This book gave me the courage to look

Someone recommended this book to me because it was written by a tax firm, so I gave it a read. As someone in the same industry, I related to it, and in some ways it was comforting. I breezed through it while traveling. I recommend it!

I used to think a book about a company’s story would only come out after it had been around long enough to build name recognition and a brand. This book completely overturned that idea. Like one line in the book says, ‘If you’re the same as everyone else, you’ve already lost.’ The firm struck me as an impressive startup that takes on challenges and follows through. Whatever the industry, it’s hard to achieve bold success if you’re trapped by conventional thinking and follow customs as though

This book can help not only people who work in tax, but also people who run startups or small and midsize businesses. I liked that it candidly shares, from the perspective of a firm member and observer, the questions you need to consider when starting a business and growing an organization, along with real episodes that came from applying those ideas in practice. In the book, when someone asks why the co-CEOs of the firm want to go so far when they already earn a good living by maintaining the

I really enjoyed the immersive way the book steps back and describes these young people. The author occasionally shares things they want to say, and those moments were interesting; I also loved how deeply the leaders’ thinking is explored. Seeing the leaders’ perspective on the missteps they made while confronting problems at their tax firm and trying to change it drew me in even more. As the first half of 2024 comes to a close, this book gave me a spark to work hard again in the second half. 👍
