Leaving the Ladder to Build His Own Firm | The Story of Miguel Alexander Centeno and Tax Hack

From Big Four to founder. From burnout to building something better.

In this episode, we sit down with Miguel Alexander Centeno, a Latino entrepreneur, parent, and the founder of TaxHack Accounting Group, to unpack what it really takes to build a scalable service business from scratch.

We talk about:

• Quitting Big Four with a toddler at home
• Building the first version of his professional services firm
• Saying no to the wrong clients and defining your ideal customer profile (ICP)
• The mindset shift from “employee” to “entrepreneur”
• Choosing systems and delegation over hustle
• Redefining work-life balance as a parent-founder
• Honoring the immigrant grit that made it all possible

This is a candid look at what it really takes to walk away from stability, bet on yourself, and build a business that aligns with the life you want.
