An Evolution for Accounting Firms

Creating less reliance on leaders to deliver your firm's vision

As your firm grows, it's vital to continually monitor what is working well and not so well within the firm.

To continually grow your accounting practice, attention must be given to consider whether the right foundations are in place to evolve and grow your firm.

In this guide, Darren takes you through an 8-step process to evaluate your firm's current situation to lay the foundations and plan for your firm's evolution. The areas for review include:

  • Current Situation
  • Business Foundations
  • Target Market
  • Service Offering
  • The Team
  • Processes & Systems
  • Operations
  • Rewards and Outcomes


This process of review will involve you and your team working together to leverage the power of skills and knowledge within the firm to begin the evolution and growth for your practice.

The result of evolution is a firm which excels in delivering outcomes for its teams, its clients and ultimately for the firm's future growth and success.

Taken from Darren's 'So, you want to...' series of ebooks for owners of accounting firms who need a step by step guide to help solve a challenge in the firm. The guide contains all the documents you need to create and support each step and the follow-ups you may need to do.
