This year’s CCSA Convention 2025 is all about transformation — not just in your art, but in your business. Because let’s face it: you didn’t start your studio to scrape by. You started it to build something that supports your life, not the other way around.
And while Donna Bordeaux from PYOP Accounting might not be there in person this year (we’re all crying into our clay mugs about it), she’s still here in spirit — and with a ton of gold nuggets to help you make this your most profitable and purposeful year yet.

Stay tuned for the full article — we’re diving into how to banish the September slump, boost your bottom line, and make sure that 2025 is the year your studio stops surviving… and starts thriving.

Creativity and CPAs don’t generally go together. Most people think of CPAs as nerdy accountants who can’t talk with people. Well, it’s time to break that stereotype. Lively, friendly, and knowledgeable can be a part of your relationship with your CPA, as demonstrated by Donna and Chad Bordeaux. They have over 50 years of combined experience as entrepreneurial CPAs. They’ve owned businesses and helped business owners exceed their wildest dreams. They have been able to help businesses earn many times more profit than the average business in the same industry and are passionate about helping industries that help families build great memories.
