We're here to help you to...

The results should be...

And we work with...

Sounds impossible? At first glance maybe it does - after all, it's quite a comprehensive and ambitious menu - but it's what we help public accounting firms around the world to do, and very successfully so.

Simply put, we help you grow your practice in a highly profitable and enjoyable way, without spending a fortune in the process - we don't have a $30,000 'product portfolio' to sell you, just great ideas and a proven system that works. And we've been doing it for over eleven years!

Welcome and thanks for stopping by.

As our name implies, we only work with people like you - CAs, CPAs, CGAs, CMAs, ACAs, ACCAs and similarly designated professionals around the world in public accounting firms - helping you to win more new clients, earn higher fees from your existing clients, and develop your practices in ways that provide you with both a better income and a better lifestyle.

If you just want some free tips to help you grow and maybe buy the odd ebook or two, that's fine by us. If you just want to subscribe to the industry-leading free marketing newsletter for public accounting firms (LEDGER) that we produce, that's fine too.

But if you really want to see your practice EXPLODE (well, grow substantially) then we have a genuine proven program that will help you achieve exactly that.

Whatever it is that you're looking for to help you grow your firm, I promise you it's here. You might not know what it is right now, so please take the time to really explore this site, as there is so much for you to review.

From our published articles in The Bottom Line and on AccountingWEB.com, to our monthly free tips pages. From our free newsletter, LEDGER, to our comprehensive range of electronic books, and from our consulting and coaching services to our unique client service program, 'Towards Awesome Client Service' there is something for everyone.

We also help 'nervous net newbies' to get their firm on the web for the first time and even have some of them selling information products on-line - making money while they sleep!

How do we do this?

By working with us, you gain access to a comprehensive range of marketing services for public accounting firms, from 'high-level' strategic planning, through to 'hands-on' practical assistance to help you win more new clients, keep the ones you already have for longer and earn a better income from them - helping you to enjoy your professional work once again.

More specifically, this includes - but is not restricted to - the following:

Our business is built upon the following seven key principles:

Much of our consulting work looks at the structure of your practice, potential for increased leverage by better utilizing staff resources, who you are presently marketing to - and with what results, and who you should be marketing to (these are often not the same groups) for better results.

Then, we help you to formulate an overall strategy aimed at improving the return on your investment of marketing dollars (and time), and design (usually on a tailor-made approach) practical tools to help you achieve your objectives.

Finally, we can then be retained to help you implement these new resources to work towards building the practice you really wanted to build.

We have produced a series of books based on our experiences, with detailed 'how-to' information, aimed at getting you off on the right track.

We don't pretend to have all the answers, nobody should be so misguided as to think they know it all, but we have worked in the accounting field for over 23 years now, so our president, Steve McIntyre-Smith, does have a real insight into the common problem areas that most practitioners face, having been a staff member, a partner and then a sole practitioner in public accounting himself for many years.

To give you a no-cost, no-risk taste of our materials, we present two free ebooks that you can download now, without cost or obligation, to help you assess our knowledge-base and help you to determine whether you might benefit by engaging us at a later date or purchasing our new audio CD 'Quantum Leap' or some of the e-books we have published...

Our free newsletter, LEDGER, is now read by almost 11,000 public accountants around the world every month, and complimentary comments keep coming in from readers. If you don't yet receive LEDGER, why not sign up to get your own copy delivered every month while you are here?
