I train accountants to become Cherished Advisors®.
When I was in my teens, my mom lost her business – and basically everything we owned – our home, our furniture in the process – largely because no one was looking out for her and being proactive in helping her understand and predict her financials and how it related to her operations. It was the 1980s, and bad loan practices led many small businesses to go belly up, but when it’s your own family, the pain is visceral º– losing your home, selling all of your furniture at a garage sale, taking on extra jobs as a teenager to help pay the bills – in a way headlines could never convey.
Watching my mom work so hard to build a thriving business only to lose everything because her accountant didn’t take the proactive steps to guide and protect her from surprises in her business made my path crystal clear: I wanted to protect business owners in similar situations, and their families, from ever being forced into a corner with no good financial options. I believed there was a better way to serve clients and always have time for what they needed, when they needed it.
Week 1: Your Goals + Business Planning Intro: In the first week you will learn how the course will work, commit and schedule your calendar to do the work, and set your high level goals and intentions. This first module will focus on the group getting to know your practice and learning how you will get the support you need throughout this process so you have what you need to create a successful advisory practice.
Week 2: Your Purpose, Your Practice, Your Clients: Learn the Cherished Advisor journey. Identify your personal purpose and explore how to align it with the mission of your practice. Define which customers and industries you want to work with more (and those you want to part ways with).
Week 3: The Right Technology, the Right People: Learn about and how to select the latest software and technology platforms to streamline your operations. Identify the right talent for your practice and assess the skills and needs of your current employees and contractors.
Week 4: Your Pricing & Marketing: Learn how to transition from hourly to value-based pricing so that you get paid for what you’re worth, not by the time you work. Assess your current marketing to see if it’s aligned with your mission. Learn about the latest marketing methods and how best to incorporate them into your practice.
Week 5: Sell Your Value & Onboarding New Clients: Learn how to sell the value you offer to the clients you already love and find new ones in your target industry. Identify the best ways to onboard new clients to ensure that you’re meeting their advisory service needs.
Week 6: Share & Finetune Your Roadmap: Finalize and share your advisory services action plan with Amy and the other course participants that have been there to support you throughout this journey. Ask questions and fine-tune your plan.
This new life you imagine is possible! Trust me. I’ve walked in your shoes and am here to guide you every step of the way. What I learned most is that it takes more than just being a Trusted Advisor, it takes what I call being a “Cherished Advisor.”
A Cherished Advisor goes beyond what’s expected of a trusted advisor. Sure, we’re implicitly trustworthy by virtue of our professional credentials. But a Cherished Advisor is someone our clients can’t imagine living without. A Cherished Advisor is:
A valued business partner who is invited to the decision-making table when key business decisions are being made, not after the fact.
A leader with the communication and analytical skills to tell the story behind the numbers to help clients make smart holistic business decisions.
Not necessarily a natural “techie,” but someone who knows how to identify, and leverage the latest time-saving technology to help their clients grow and thrive.
A self starter with an entrepreneurial mindset who knows how to quickly adapt to their clients’ business and industry needs.
A highly valued strategic partner whom their business clients appreciate, highly value and can’t imagine not having on their team!
Want to start or expand their advisory services practice.
Work within an accounting firm and are developing an advisory services practice within the firm.
Want to become cherished by their clients.
Will commit to following my roadmap to becoming a Cherished Advisor.
Accounting professionals who are not committed to the process. It takes more than the financial investment in the course – it’s on you to carve out the time and dedication to implement the plan. This commitment is a two-way street, and if you don't do your part, you won’t see results.
