@jspujji Go through @girdley ‘s newsletters and writings. @awilkinson too. Those probably were already on your radar.

15 hours of flying tomorrow. What are your favorite books on HoldCos? Especially less known ones.

For those following me from Jesse’s recommendation… apologies in advance for the boring follow. I post pictures of coffee on LinkedIn if you’re into that.

Proud to work with this team - they’re the real deal.

@mercury @jspujji @NotionHQ @stripe We should talk… financial dream team

It’s a bit weird seeing your professional life story condensed into a blog post. Appreciate Peter and Bootstrappers sharing my journey.

How are people still on this? I was on for 10 minutes yesterday and got upgrade prompts after every single engagement. Every. One. This is just intolerable. See you in another 20 months.

@TheProCFO @noahkagan With AI I’m able to optimize to 17 minutes of niche internet fame.

@SpaceChenst @noahkagan Sorry my friend. You can have your 15.

Which firm would you HIRE for your bookkeeping?

@noahkagan In short, notes were taken and it spiced up my Friday for sure.

@SpaceChenst Howdy. Do think its good to take a stance but I still stand by feedback on show who you are, show customers, attention to details (2025, not 2024 in footer), to me show a reliable bookkeeping firm.

First day I've been on X in about a year but I got an email from someone showing Noah Kagan had shared my website along side a traditional firm and asked who you'd pick. My optimism, or probably hubris, assumed he was highlighting US vs a boring, stale traditional firm

@noahkagan Those are misses and on me. The photos of me and the team is obvious and it’s not there because I didn’t want to use ai, didn’t want bad self shot pictures and haven’t had the team all in one spot lately to shoot. I need to do it. I just hate bad photography.

@noahkagan I enjoyed the call with her as well. She’s great.

@SpaceChenst hey amigo - didn't mean to offend. just my impression from seeing your site after my exec assistant enjoyed her call with you.

@noahkagan No offense taken. And I’m taking the notes. I do stand by standing out and not looking like all the others that used a template and stock photos (that’s a custom font) but you can’t go to all that effort and then miss on some basics so points taken.

@TheProCFO @noahkagan Beat it Cody. This is my roast. Go make your own bad website.

@noahkagan My company provides excellent bookkeeping service while also providing a high level CFO oversight. Just saying 😉

@MaxxBooks @noahkagan Not saas just sassy accounting Here all week people

@noahkagan One on the right looks/sounds like SaaS or a sales service.

@reallytangerine @noahkagan Who you calling old

@noahkagan the older one

@CharlieDoDesign @noahkagan But. The left looks like ever. Single. Other. One. Where does that factor in? But appreciate you think mine is “baked”

@noahkagan A great example of why it's so important to understand the business, not just the audience when it comes to building a brand/website. Sometimes the less baked one creates more genuine/family run feel where you know you'll be a priority.

@moritzvincon @noahkagan What does this MEAN??? Like if you can’t bend them to your will? Extort them? This is so intense.

@noahkagan At the end of the day they can tell you all they want, if you can’t get a foothold on them if you need them, it’s an instant no.

@pablomartell @noahkagan @AlpineMarHQ No no no I’m the one getting roasted here. Don’t try and jump in and steal my thunder.

@noahkagan Neither. You should talk to us... @AlpineMarHQ

@boredfunkykid @noahkagan “Good design” - THANK you. I’m getting cooked over here for showing some effort and caring.

@noahkagan I’m a sucker for good design, the right one

@jaredpeno @noahkagan Thanks for your vote

@noahkagan I like the promise of the second option. No mistaking it.

@dustonio @noahkagan Is that mine? Am I the PE backed one?

@noahkagan What’s with the spacing of the one on the right? 🤣 “Build a cash flow machine” I’d pick the company NOT owned by private equity or investment banker. ‘Cause they don’t care about anything except for billable hours.
