As a business owner, you need an accountant who does more than manage numbers. A good accountant adds value with financial insights, aiding decisions, streamlining processes, and ensuring compliance.

As a business owner, you will have many important relationships that determine the success of your venture – from your customers to your suppliers. Amongst the most important is the relationship with your accountant. More than just someone who ‘looks after the numbers’, a good accountant can add a huge amount of value to your business – providing crucial financial insights to help inform key strategic decisions.

However, the value of an accountant is not always fully maximised. Despite having a detailed understanding of your financial position and operational strengths, many business owners fail to tap into these all-important insights. It’s a missed opportunity. We’re going to look at some of the ways an accountant can add value to your business – and how to maximise the relationship, streamline your accounting processes and ensure you meet deadlines and compliance duties.

The course will cover topics such as:

• To ask what do you need to know from your accountant.
• Decisions you need to make.
• What’s the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant.
• What you should be doing.
• And what you shouldn’t be asking.
• The cost of not working in partnership.
• What do you want to do and what do you want someone else to do.
• How to make the relationship with your accountant more profitable.

Learn how to stand out, connect with purpose, and turn LinkedIn from a positive CV into a powerful networking and marketing tool.

• Ways to grow your network organically – without spamming.
• How to engage with the right content and start real conversations.
• Tactics for getting found by the people you want to do business with.

Whether you’re brand new to LinkedIn or you’ve had a profile for years but felt like you never quite “got it”, this course will help you use the platform with more purpose – and see better results from the time you spend there.
