BACKGROUND
Grady Tax Plus, founded by Chassidy Grady, emerged from a profound transition from counseling to a dedicated focus on accounting and taxes, targeting the mental health professional niche. Despite its strong foundation and niche market focus, Scale Beyond faced several obstacles that stymied its growth and operational efficiency. Operating initially as a side hustle alongside Chassidy’s full-time counseling job, the business was constrained by limited time and resources.
This innovative venture combined Chassidy's counseling expertise with her passion for finance, positioning Scale Beyond as a specialized service provider for counselors, therapists, and the broader mental health industry. The firm's unique approach, rooted in empathy and tailored financial guidance, swiftly set it apart, offering a client-centered experience that resonates deeply with professionals in the mental health field.
Moreover, it was clear that for Chassidy to truly step into her role as a business leader, mindset and performance coaching were essential. These elements were crucial not for her professional growth but also for navigating the personal challenges and past traumas that could potentially derail her progress.
