Business & Executive Coaching for CPA Firm Partners
You built a firm clients could rely on. Now everyone relies on you.
For managing and equity partners of small-to-mid-sized CPA firms in Canada and the US. Virtual everywhere; in person in Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
What partners bring to me
The firm runs through you
Client relationships, reviews and decisions all route to your desk. The team is capable, but the firm still waits on you.
Busy-season capacity and burnout
Every year the crunch gets harder to absorb, for you and for your people. Capacity is a leadership problem, not just a staffing one.
Succession and partner transition
Bringing in new partners, planning your own exit, or handing over client relationships without losing them.
Pricing, profitability and client mix
Fees that haven't kept pace with the work, clients who cost more than they pay, and margins that are hard to see clearly.
Moving from compliance work to advisory
You know advisory is where the value is. Making the shift means changing how the firm sells, staffs and spends its time.
