The 30-Minute Solution

Fast-track your growth for your accounting and bookkeeping practice

Over the last 22 years of working with over 1800 accounting firms worldwide, if I’ve noticed any pattern over and over again, it’s that cry of, “We just don’t have the time!”

Now whether that’s true or not is up for debate but what’s for sure is while we remain heavily involved in the delivery of compliance work, we will always struggle to find the time to grow the practice in a meaningful and sustained way. 

Therefore the questions arise:

  • Is it possible to grow my practice?
  • Is it possible to increase my average fees?
  • Is it possible to reduce any client attrition I suffer from?
  • Is it possible to stop being knocked down on price?
  • Is it possible to do all these things in short bursts of activity?


The answer to all these questions is, yes it is! 


For all the reasons mentioned, this is why I have developed the 30-Minute Solution so you can grow your practice in a bite-sized, manageable, monitored way and yield a direct measurable return on investment.

The 30-Minute Solution is exactly this and has been designed to:

  • Build-in 30 minutes of focus, concentration and vision on the future of your practice rather than its current situation
  • Give you bite-sized instruction, insight and inspiration to motivate you to make small but impactful changes in your firm 
  • Make improvements to all of the metrics you find desirable, such as top and bottom line, average fee level and even service lines you are delivering to clients over and over again


One thing is for sure, there is HUGE potential in your firm.

I know this. 

Experience has taught me this. 

How that potential is realised is completely in your control. This 30-minute solution is guaranteed to make sure you get started and stay on the right path to continual business development on a budget.
