Business Advisory Services Update
Accountancy firms offering Business Advisory Services are in a better position to assist SMEs in their “scaling up process”.
The 7 steps for scaling up a business (which even includes accounting firms) incorporates the following:
1. Business Development Direction/Vision: What do you want the business to look like in 3-5 years’ time?
2. Business Purpose: Why do we do what we do?
3. Business Focus: What outcomes do our stakeholders want? (Clients, customers, team members and their families, suppliers, community, government, shareholders)
4. Business Values: What behaviour is acceptable and what behaviour is not?
5. Business Strategies: What 3 things do we have to nail this quarter?
6. Functional Responsibilities: Who, what and when?
7. Action Implementation: What “pattern of meetings” and structure will ensure we do what we plan to do?
