About this episode

Terri Peters shares her journey from an overworked CFO to successfully running her own boutique tax firm.

Imagine trading the stress of an "overworked prisoner" CFO role for the freedom of a boutique tax firm—with time for family, music, and travel. That's the transformation Terri Peters, founder of Tax Time Ledgers , made in just three years. Once overworked, undervalued, and stuck in scarcity, Terri took a leap from corporate security to build her own practice. In this deep dive, we revisit her turning point—choosing to invest in herself and stop making someone else's money. Learn how she went from charging $500 per month to confidently enrolling $2,500–$3,500 concierge clients by building a values-aligned foundation and authentic sales process—without leading with marketing. If you're a firm owner stuck on the same treadmill, Terri's journey from scarcity to abundance shows that freedom comes from owning your value.
