If You Don’t Help Your Clients With Their Businesses - They Might Go Broke!
Accountant's Minute 280
This was the response that Andrew Geddes, Australian Accounting Industry Mentor and Coach, gave to a question that was asked in a recent webinar “Why Should Accountants Proactively Deliver Business Advisory Services To Their Clients?” Click here to listen to the webinar.
“Also accountants have a moral obligation having been given the privilege of tertiary education you should be helping businesses in your community” Andrew Geddes said.
ESS BIZTOOLS wants to help accountants, business advisors and bookkeepers deliver a range of business advisory services so that you can help your clients in these difficult times.

In the next webinar for an overview of the Business Advisory Services Starter Package, we will review the Tradie’s Charge Out Rate Calculator. The feedback that we have received from our subscribers is that this is a very useful tool for an accountant to start a conversation with a client and then show them how they can utilise the Charge Out Rate Calculator to prepare a detailed costing which reflects the operating costs of their business and individual team member productivity, so that they can achieve a financial result a lot closer to their original estimate.
