Course description
Growing an accountancy practice is challenging for a multitude of reasons - finding and winning the work can be challenging, especially if you are setting up a new practice.
Owners often find themselves to be the bottleneck, trapped in the day-to-day work that suffocates practice growth as a result. Pricing is difficult, and you will often have ‘legacy’ clients that are not paying what they should be for your services. Processes often are not documented firm wide, and when they are they do not always get followed by all. Inefficiencies develop as the team grows, with people managing their own spreadsheets for the same set of data.
With so much technology out there, where do you start? All of the above can be tackled and resolved as we will explore in this virtual classroom seminar.
