Join in for a conversation with Bob Wang, the Founder of Legacy Advantage and the BC Region Leader of Deloitte Ctrl. Legacy Advantage was a bookkeeping company for small businesses in BC and it was acquired by Deloitte to become part the engine of Ctrl's BC business. But Bob is no ordinary bookkeeper. In our conversation we delve through Bob's background of growing up in the Czech Republic, his entrepreneurial father fleeing the Czech mafia to Vancouver and how this upbringing fostered a passion for helping small businesses in his accounting career at KPMG to his own company, Legacy Advantage. Bob grew his company to about $2MM in revenue within the first 3 years through a method of partnering with the 'would-be' competition and creating an organization build around 'common sense'.
