I found myself in a meeting this week with a lady who runs a very successful cosmetic clinic. After we finished discussing my botox (!!), she started talking about her accountant. She said:
“I don’t really know what I’m paying for. I know he files my accounts and keeps me legal, but honestly, in the past five years, I’ve not had a single piece of strategic advice from him. He hasn’t helped me grow my business at all. I had no idea that accountants could help me grow my business!”
As I was driving home, I felt a bit embarrassed on behalf of my profession. It made me vow that no one should ever say the same about me or my firm – because I’m aware that, at the moment, you might not be aware of the strategic input that we can offer.
I know we’re really, really good at providing genuinely high-calibre input and advice, especially when clients are growing or dealing with particular challenges and opportunities.
I need you to know that, here at Jon Davies Accountants, all accountants are (definitely) not the same. We provide regular input for many of our clients through management accounts, and we help track key performance indicators (KPIs) to keep their businesses moving in the right direction.
One of our specialities is showing you how just a couple of percent increase in sales and a couple of percent increase in gross profit can combine to have a huge impact on your bottom line…and then working with you to make it happen in your business.
Not every client wants (or needs) this, and that’s OK. But, if you would like more strategic advice to help your business grow, please hit “reply” or give us a ring on 0151 380 8084.
Many thanks
Jon
