Our joint webinar with the IFA, Build a digital future by adding funding to your advisory proposition is now available on-demand here.

As a recap, the webinar covered:

 1. What is advisory and how can you grow your firm by offering it?

THE ADVISORY LIFECYCLE

The Advisory Lifecycle

  • Advisory, or advisory accounting, refers to an accounting approach that provides accounting services alongside value-added services like strategy and consulting

  • Advisory, is one of the three levels of the accounting pyramid that most accountants offer

  • Why you should accelerate your transition towards becoming an advisory led firm

  • You can add value to your client’s decision making by translating their data into a tangible narrative

  • You can become the trusted advisor to a pool of thriving & growing businesses

  • Clients require advisory services at all stages of their lifecycle

2. How to speak to your clients about business finance

  • Set out clear expectations early in your relationship with clients about the additional services you offer

  • Use digital tools to  facilitate your conversations. Real time monitoring of cash flow allows you to flag when external funding may be required

  • Focus on true strategy planning that centres around implementation instead of just goal setting

  • Collaborate with key trusted partners. You do not need to be an expert on all things business finance.
