Product Description
Product Description
This is a book about excellence in the accountancy profession that has been described as 'Invaluable' by David Maister, 'breathtakingly refreshing' by Paul Dunn and 'inspiring' by Ron Baker. It contains dozens of case studies revealing exactly what the best independent accountancy practices have done in the last few years, and are still doing today, to generate substantially better results for their clients, their communities and themselves. The firms featured have been extraordinarily candid, open and detailed in their descriptions of what makes them so successful. For example, they reveal in precise detail how they have: saved clients millions in tax; helped save hundreds of local jobs; won countless business awards; doubled their turnover; eliminated debtors; earned annual profits in excess of £250,000 per partner; transformed their life-work balance so that they work standard office hours, do not work on Friday afternoons or weekends, and take 10 weeks holiday a year; and in the case of a start-up in 2006, built a client base worth over £800,000 with average fees of £5,600 per client. And all of this in the face of the worst recession for over 50 years. This book will show you how you can achieve the same sort of results for you and your clients.

Well Done, Steve Pipe.
You have demonstrated that accountants can (and often do) delight their clients..., deliver legendary service and offer incredible value for money.
This book is not for the old school accountant; they will be terrified by the customer-focused, service-obssessed case studies/research that Steve has assembled for the book. Stunning businesses that deliver stunning results for their clients, staff and owners - what could be a better story than that!
When I wrote Grow Your Service Firm I focused on all manor of service-based buisnesses, including accountants. Steve's book, on the other hand, has a razor-sharp focus on how to run a great accounacy practice. This is not a one-size-fits-all prescriptive formula.
This book throws out a challenge to all accountants. Do you want to be average, run-of-the-mill, ordinary, dull and beige? Or do you want to do something that you can be proud of? Create a legacy... create something worthy of being talked about... It is a no-brainer to me.

It's not often that a read a book cover to cover in one sitting. It's even rarer that it is a book focused around 40+ case studies of small accountancy practices who have truly excelled in part of their business; which has lead to greater profitability and high levels of employee satisfaction.
Steve needs to be congratulated on writing 'The UK's best accountancy practices', and gaining permission to share the insight of these 40+ practices. Although the majority of the case studies are from within Steve's AVN's network, just implementing one or two ideas from the book will help most small practice owners, of which the professional is predominantly composed, grow their revenue and profitability, whilst having more fun and spending less time at work.
This book has given me lots of ideas to implement with my own clients who are small professional practices.
This book should be required reading for you if:
* You are a junior partner in a professional services firm (legal as well as accountancy) who wants ideas on how to grow the practice sustainably and profitably
* run your own 1-10 partner professional services firm

I started reading Steve's book and started folding over the corner of each page where I spotted a good idea to adopt within my own prctice; I think I ended up folding over nearly every corner !
