When There’s No App for What You Need: Building the Tool You Wish You Had
Judie McCarthy's team was spending a third of their time chasing down information—then one of her biggest clients called in tears, completely overwhelmed by the constant requests. Judie joins Questian and Nancy to share why that moment launched her from bookkeeper to tech founder. She talks through juggling two full-time jobs for years, selling her 25-year practice to the lowest bidder (and why that was the right call), and why the fear of regret turned out to be stronger than every other fear she had about building something new.ResourcesJudie McCarthy on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/judiemccarthy/Client Hub + She Counts - https://www.clienthub.app/lp/shecountsClient Hub on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/client-hub-inc/Laura Redmond on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauraredmond/Dolly Parton quote - https://x.com/DollyParton/status/1182038149087846402Studies on the topic of gender differences when selling a business:Research shows a higher share of female directors is associated with fewer acquisition bids and lower bid premiums (suggesting more conservative deal-making) - https://www.aeaweb.org/conference/2012/retrieve.phpResearch shows that greater female representation correlates with smaller relative transaction sizes in M&A - https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/full/10.1142/S2282717X25500033Why do female entrepreneurs decide to exit their ventures? - https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2%3A1573378/FULLTEXT01.pdfSPONSORS: [Forwardly, Relay, Client Hub] Join Our LinkedIn Page!https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-counts-podcastSubscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SheCountsPodcastFollow She Counts on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/shecounts.show/Connect with Nancyhttps://www.thedancingaccountant.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-mcclelland-cpaConnect with Questianhttps://www.reqoncilefinancials.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/questian-telka-ea-78383666Earn CPE for Listening to This Podcasthttps://www.earmark.app/This podcast is a production of Earmark Media
