Like all good stories, the one of Perrigo Consultants starts in a kitchen.

That’s where Dave Perrigo, our guest on this episode of ScaleUp Radio, was sitting with his wife.

He’d worked at KPMG and Serco, with a year’s travelling thrown in for good measure, and he truly felt like he was ready to go out on his own.

That was back in 2011 and you can hear the rest of the story by listening to our conversation.

Dave is passionate about the business - and wants people to know how Perrigo Consultants differ from almost every other accountancy firm you’ve come across.

We also discuss:

 - How to make that transition from a well-paid, comfortable, secure job - to being on your own with your own company. Not just the financial transition, but the psychological one too

 - Deciding on what the next step should be when you reach capacity with your clients

  • Ensuring that growth of the business, and the strategy for that growth get a reasonable amount of your time and attention
  • The importance of accountants in the life of a business

There’s a lot for us all to take away from this conversation. I think you’ll really enjoy it.

ScaleUp Radio is hosted by Kevin Brent — founder of Smart90, author of the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System (ESUS), and the same Kevin who works directly with founders inside the G90 Summit.

The Summit is a structured half-day — quarterly, virtual via Zoom — where founders and their teams get clear on the three to five things that must happen in the next 90 days, and leave with a plan committed to making them happen.
