When one of your clients says, “Oh, I didn’t know you did that!”, what’s your response? Disaster, you think. I’ve failed in my marketing, you think. How could my clients possibly consider going to anyone else for this type of service? Why do they not realise we do this? What do I have to fix, […]

Read More“Give to gain.” I’ve heard this phrase used many times in business as a means of encouraging people to give, so they can get back. I hate it. I hate it because it’s inherently self-focused. Yes, the more you give away the more it is likely you receive in return. But if that’s your goal […]
Read MoreIntegrity is another of the four pillars on which we stand at The Profitable Firm. Unfortunately, the word ‘integrity’ is the kind of word that businesses love to put into vision statements or mission statements or on website landing pages, but it doesn’t always mean much in terms of the work the company does.

Read MoreThe expectations that your clients (and prospects) have about communication with their accountant are that you will be available all the time.

Unfortunately, for most accountants, ‘vaguely aware’ may also represent your own understanding of the new regulations and how you will present them to your clients. Perhaps your conversations go something like this: Client: “I saw something the other day about something called auto enrolment… […]
Read MoreHow do you act when you’re around your small business clients? Do they get to see the real you, or do you become a different person when faced with a client? Many accountants still feel the need to adopt a ‘professional and detached’ demeanour with clients, even when they may have worked with this client […]
Read MoreThere’s a culture in finance and accounting that working late is a good thing. The unspoken mindset seems to be this – the later you work, and the more overtime you’re doing, the more you’re ‘winning’ in the ongoing battle against the client work mountain. But, in fact, working all hours that are available and […]
Read MoreWhat do you do with “quick questions” (usually asked by prospects) that are easy to answer, but often take 20-30 minutes of every day, and you’re conscious that you aren’t being paid for answering them? What happens if you’re generous with your time and knowledge, but no one appreciates it by becoming your client straight […]
