Brooke Lively is the CEO of Cathedral Capital. She and her company help provide the missing piece in understanding the financial picture of the law firm you are trying to manage. Many of us have a bookkeeper and an accountant, but that’s only two-thirds of what you need. They both focus on past finances and make sense of what’s already happened, but they don’t give a clear look at what your law firm could be moving forward. Cathedral Capital offers fractional CFOs to law firms to help you pull this information together and use your resources wisely.Resources:cathcap.comEmail: brooke@cathcap.comFacebook: facebook.com/cathedralcapitalLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/cathedralcapitalInstagram: @cathedralcapitalJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Still, she ultimately decided to forego the big firm route to start her own practice — and the reason may surprise you. She shares everything that led her to where she is today and how that experience led her to write a book, “Overcoming Addiction to the Status Quo,” all about learning which things will make you happy instead of getting caught up in a comparison trap.Resources:kathrynfburmeister.comLinktree: linktr.ee/kfburmeisterlinkedin.com/in/kfburmeisterRead: “Overcoming Addiction to the Status Quo”Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!
