Stephen Hall, Accounting

My name is Stephen Hall. I'm the CEO of Robert Hall and Associates, which is an accounting firm in Glendale, California. 

So we've been utilizing Sterling in Glendale for over a decade at this point. Prior to Sterling, we were growing under 5% a year. Post Sterling, we're growing over double digits annually.


Sterling has been instrumental in our personnel. Prior to Sterling, we had very high turnover because we were experts in accounting and taxation, not experts in personnel, H.R. or management technology. Post Sterling, we have been able to retain our staff. In fact, this past year, we've had zero turnover. Because we now understand the importance of the management technology and motivational technology on how to bonus our staff based on their performance, not necessarily based on their seniority or tenure. 

Biggest win we've had with Sterling, I would say, is the time work/life balance. This past year I've been able to free up at least 50% of my work time to work on other projects and leverage the staff to execute the goals and objectives for the organization.

If you're worried at night, if you're losing sleep at night, or if you're at the office for way too many hours and you think you're working way too much, and you're doing way too much work that your staff should be doing, do what I did. Just join Sterling. I did it. I've been there. I understand what you're thinking right now. You're losing sleep at night wondering how you going to pay the bills or how are you going to get all that work done and pull another all-nighter to make sure the client's satisfied. I'd recommend Sterling because once I went through the management technology, I learned how I can have the staff do the work and more importantly, free up my time. That way I could be out of the office more often. And I hope you can do the same thing.
