This practical hands-on workshop is for the leaders of accounting firms who want to realise the true potential of your client base and your team. And, for those who want to finally crack the advisory “nut” with a structured, consistent and profitable way of working.

A way of working that is generating firms additional profitable revenue; at recovery rates 3x that of average firms, effectively doubling profit, starting from just three hours per week.

In addition, you’ll solve the challenges of:

never having enough time;
winning the talent wars; recruiting and retaining great talent, whilst also building confidence within the team;

resistance from the team for new ways of working or implementing the plan;
tech overwhelm and information overload; and
the frustration of many false starts with advisory.

“Be the change you want to see in the world” (attributed to Gandhi, but actually Arleen Lorrance)

A great quote, but change is hard! We are constantly being told that we need to change.

And the reality is, you don’t need to change. You don’t need to move from compliance to advisory. You just need to continue to do the right thing and help your clients.

You already tell great stories with numbers to change the lives of some of your clients with ad-hoc bespoke advisory services. And you and your team already have all the skills, ability, understanding, training, knowledge you need to make a massive difference to all your select clients.

However, sometimes:

clients just don’t see the value
it’s hard to break through the noise and get their attention
you lack the structure, processes and resources to deliver added-value services
your team don’t have the confidence or feel they don’t have the skills
they are resistant to change and anxious that they may not get it right
there is frustration with many false starts or confusion about the right path
everything gets handed up to the leadership team
there’s never enough time

All of which results in the firm not earning the profits it deserves, ending up doing the wrong work with the wrong clients and risk losing its brightest stars!

Accountants have profound wisdom, understanding, experience, training and skills. The knowledge and skills that business owners desperately need to survive and thrive.

However, sometimes your team struggle to explain that to clients and businesses in a way that increases value. Sometimes they suffer imposter syndrome and can’t see their innate powers. And sometimes they lack the structure to deliver in a way that’s consistent, repeatable and profitable and, more importantly, in a way that clients get and want to pay for!

This brand new event will show you how to transform the way your team think. It will empower you to unleash their powers to make a massive difference to the firm and your clients. It will show you how to give them the confidence to have great conversations. And most importantly how to deliver repeatable, scalable services that are profitable for the firm, valuable for the client at a price they can afford to pay.

A lack of clarity leads to confusion. At the event we’ll introduce you to a “whole firm model” that will clearly explain the issues you’ve been experiencing, why you have been experiencing those issues and, more importantly, what you can do about them.

Nature doesn’t look at problems, it looks to potential.

When we focus on problems and the problem/solutions methodology it encourages binary thinking. This means that we only work on once piece of the puzzle at a time. And when we work on each problem in isolation, it generally leads to more problems. We may not have even properly understood the true problem in the first place. Or, progress is slow and stalls with frustration, resistance and many false starts.

Looking to potential encourages a different way of thinking and mindset. A multi-dimensional approach looks at all the ways to achieve success. Many of which work in tandem. Success is often achieved faster, with less resistance and fewer issues. With that success built following a one-step-at-a-time ‘marginal gains’ mentality, like the Great British cycling team’s approach; resulting in 38 medals (22 gold) over three Olympic Games!

At the event your will learn how to become the standout firm! The firm that everyone wants to:

I heard the amazing success everyone had had whilst they were on the the workshop series and I wanted to get those results too.

I now really get how delivering business advisory services in this way can empower the team and clients. I also know how much the firm should be charging and delivering to help.
