Welcome to episode 12 of Future Driven! This week, Adam talked to Travis Huisman, a ‘recovering accountant’ who started a unique bookkeeping business. With experience working at an agency, leading an existing company, and creating his own business, Travis’ leadership style combines multiple perspectives for maximum effectiveness.
Starting as an accountant working at a traditional accounting firm, Travis received an offer to become a CFO and lead a company through its upcoming transition. After the transition, Travis decided to build his own bookkeeping business. Flexure’s focus is on comprehensive support for entrepreneurs, not just accounting services.
Future Driven is hosted by Adam Kopp, CEO of the strategic marketing agency, Madak. In each episode, Adam talks to a different industry leader, discussing their careers, leadership styles, and goals for the future.
