How stable is your jigsaw? 🤪 You heard me right If you’re wondering what is going on listen to Paul Miller BSc FCA on our Accountants' Success Secrets Podcast Paul is amazing with his stories and metaphors In his eyes, his firm #cornish accounting fills in the middle part for his clients We are all able to find the straight sides of the jigsaw but the challenge is to fill in the middle It’s pretty similar to what I do My clients create the outside of the jigsaw Accountant or bookkeeper Name of business Services provided That’s the non negotiable, but what about the middle? That’s the story, the brand promise, the “how are we different?” Piece That’s harder but without the pieces the jigsaw is floppy, with sides that buckle It’s a bit like the person on the end of the “why you?” You can buckle and say “we are reliable” or you can greet the question with open arms: “I’m glad you asked me that. We work with x, our approach is y, our mission is z and we do it like this.” When you’ve found the pieces you can start to build sustainability in your business Thanks Paul for the metaphor MARK LEE FCA can you add to this?

Ever thought about owning your own accounting firm? 🤔 In our 22nd podcast episode, Kelly Rohrs, CPA and I are talking about how private equity can change the accounting industry. 💡 Did you know you could potentially own your own firm with just a 10% down payment? Well, here's why it's not as far-fetched as it sounds: banks are more willing to lend money to buy accounting firms compared to other businesses like restaurants. It all boils down to trust and stability. 💰 Accounting firms are seen as low-risk investments because they have steady cash flows and a solid client base, making them more appealing to lenders. So, if you're considering taking the leap into entrepreneurship, the accounting industry might just offer the perfect opportunity! We'd love to hear your thoughts on owning your own firm or any tips you've found useful! 💬 Feel free to drop them in the comments below! 🎧 Listen to the episode here: https://bit.ly/3VX67c2 #accounting #privateequity #accountingfirm #businessacquisition
