They explore the challenges of integrating different technology systems, managing team expectations, and maintaining client relationships during this critical period. Despite the timing challenges, the team shares how they've already recouped their down payment in revenue and gained valuable insights about client service, team integration, and technology transitions that will shape their future growth strategies.Introducing Collective by DBAhttps://collective.cpahttps://www.linkedin.com/company/collectivebydbaLearn More About Dillon Business Advisorshttps://www.dillonadvisors.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/dillonbusinessadvisorsSign up to get free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://earmarkcpe.comDownload the Earmark CPE AppApple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earmark-cpe/id1562599728Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.earmarkcpe.app(00:00) - Welcome to Who's Really the Boss
