Random thought of the day while considering how many of us in this bowl are "the tax guy" for our friends and family..
Does anyone have any idea what the largest black owned accounting firm is? Fishbowl says this bowl has 1400 members. That's a nice sized national partnership if we could band together and get off and running. Imagine the possibilities.

In some ways it really does surprise me that we haven't had at least a few groups of us get together to firm a few large firms. Just think about it and the character traits that it takes to get where we've gotten so far (smart, resilient, adaptable, etc.), aren't these what it takes to build something bigger than us as individuals? Do we get satisfied too easily and just give up too soon?

Just want to unlock some more thoughts on this: in order for this to happen I say we as the Black community would need what we’ve always need to thrive in terms of success and power - Capital, Opportunity, and Consistency. We tend to have 2/3 but never all three but if we could get all 3 we could make this and more a reality.

I would add some form of togetherness. Too often, we're undone by infighting, jealousy, or some form of just not genuinely working to appreciate each other's efforts to succeed. We would be better off if we helped push and pull each other up the mountain.

This is literally my dream. My junior/senior year of college I tried to get a group of us accounting majors to group together and no one followed through. I told them that doesn’t mean we best friends just business partners and still no follow through. But I’m still working towards this goal!
