Most law firm owners look successful on the outside—busy staff, a nice office, and a steady stream of clients. But behind the scenes, too many are secretly transferring money from personal savings just to cover payroll, running on fumes, and wondering why all their hard work isn’t turning into real profit.

If you’re growing but constantly feel cash poor—or you simply want to take home more from what you earn—this episode is your wake-up call. I’m joined by Leah Miller of Firmly Profits, a former law firm administrator turned fractional CFO who’s seen exactly where owners go wrong and how to fix it.
