Key findings
For the first time research reveals a two track profession, consisting of “Stars” and “Laggards”.
Star firms:
- Consistently grow at 20% or more a year
- Have better client bases and cashflow
- Deliver better client service
- Feel less threatened by cheap accountants
- Are generally happier with their success and results
For the Laggard firms and their clients, on the other hand, the picture is very different, and very much worse, with widespread under performance and under achievement.
The good news, though, is that by identifying what makes the Stars so successful, the research provides a blueprint for other firms that want to replicate their success.
To make it even easier for you to replicate the success of the Stars, the book comes complete with:
- A free training day to help you really understand the issues and how to tackle them (UK readers only)
- A detailed action plan – to help you turn your good intentions into action and results
- A suite of related free resources, including videos and other downloadable resources
