OBJECTIVES

This practical course is designed for sole practitioner accountants who want to grow their practice in a realistic and sustainable way, without creating more stress, complexity and overwhelm in the process.

Many practitioners reach a stage where they feel constantly busy but struggle to create additional capacity, improve profitability or move their practice forwards. Others recognise they cannot continue doing everything themselves indefinitely, but are unsure where to start when it comes to recruitment, delegation, pricing, marketing or changing the type of work they undertake.

This course will explore the practical, commercial and personal realities of practice growth for sole practitioners. It will help delegates think more clearly about what they actually want from their practice and the steps they can take to achieve sustainable growth on their own terms.

• Winning better clients and more profitable work
• Improving visibility and marketing effectiveness
• Creating capacity before overwhelm becomes burnout
• Moving from no staff to one or more team members
• Avoiding common growth mistakes and recruitment pitfalls
• Building a practice that is more profitable, manageable and future focused

Delegates will leave with greater clarity, confidence and practical ideas they can implement immediately within their own practice.
