GETTING TO THE STARTING POINT
We thought the following comments made by Andrew Geddes in the conversation for the ESS BIZTOOLS Business Advisory Services Update Podcasts was important for accountants to reflect on as we encourage you to commence the journey to “TRANSITION TO BUSINESS ADVISORY SERVICES”:
- What services do you want to offer in your accountancy firm?
- What do your SME clients need?
- Have they got a Business Plan?
- What is happening in their industry sector?
- Are they being disrupted?
- If so, what are they planning to do?
- Are they keeping up-to-date with technology developments within their industry?
- What makes your SME clients different?
- What makes your SME clients valuable to their customers?
- Do your SME clients have a plan:
- to overcome the disruptions in their business?
- to keep up the date with technology developments for their industry?
- for making themselves more valuable to their customers?
This is the “STARTING POINT” for you to decide the type of services that your firm is going to offer to individual clients.
The full podcast of the conversation by Andrew Geddes an experienced Accounting Advisor/Business Advisory Board Member and Peter Towers Managing Director of ESS BIZTOOLS will be available within ESS BIZTOOLS Business Advisory Services Update Podcasts on 16 March 2022.
You are invited to visit our website www.essbiztools.com.au to familiarise yourself with the wide range of resources included within the ESS BIZTOOLS packages.
DEVELOPING PRODUCT CHAMPIONS
In last week’s Accountants Minute we discussed the initial work that is required to assist an accountancy firm to transit from around the industry average of 96% “accounting work” to being able to offer Business Advisory Services as a legitimate income stream for your firm.
One of the key aspects of team training is the development of “product champions”. These people could be partners or managers of the firm but in many cases there is no reason why qualified accountants and other people employed by your firm who have specific skills could not be encouraged and then mentored so that they have the confidence and presentation skills to be able to deliver a range of services to clients including:
- Debtors Management review – particularly to reduce Debtors’ Days Outstanding
- Research and Development
- Special government grant – Accelerating Commercialisation
- Business funding – Early Stage Innovation Company Capital Raising – Crowd Sourced Funding Equity Raising
- Predictive Accounting – Budgets – Cash Flow Forecasts – Projected Balance Sheets
- Succession planning
- Government grants
- Charge out rates to earn targeted profits for Tradies and professional service firms
- Manipulating product mixes and mark-up rates for retail and wholesale businesses to achieve targeted profits
- Personal Property Securities Register Risk Analysis
- Business risks
- Selling a business
- Buying a business
- Identifying government grants for individual businesses
- Chief Financial Officer Services
Product packages for each of the services are available within ESS BIZTOOLS.
