In this episode, we’re joined by Mark Telford from Telfords Accountants here in the UK.

Now Mark has done an amazing job of building his accountancy practice around his personal life. Every day he drives his kids to school, and he picks them up. In 2018, Mark also won the Xero Most Valued Advisor of the year award, and he has some pretty interesting plans for his practice that don’t involve bringing more clients in, but rather doing more with the clients he has.

In this episode Mark has some great insights to share around work life balance, having clarity on where you’re going and how he outsources 90% of his accounts production work.

So grab yourself a pen and paper and let’s get into episode 4 with Mark Telford…

In this episode we’re joined by Carl Reader from D&T Chartered Accountants in the UK.

Carl is quite different to your normal practice owner and as you’ll hear in this episode he didn’t actually start out in accountancy as many others do. He describes his role at D&T as the ‘chief story teller’ where he spends a lot of his time building his personal brand as well as the brand of his practice. He’s written multiple books and is featured in national press almost on a weekly basis.

In this episode Carl had some incredible secrets to share around marketing, and also around hiring non-accountants to work in the practice.

This episode is absolute gold dust so grab yourself a pen and paper and enjoy!

In this episode we’re joined by Alastair Barlow from Flinder in the UK.

Alastair has a wealth of experience from working for one of the Big 4 and just over 2 years ago he and his partner Luke decided to leave the Big 4 world behind to set up their own accountancy practice up with a view of being much more than just ‘accountants’ to their clients.

Now in this episode Alastair had some awesome insights to share around building a culture that people are happy to work in, and also around using rich management information and data to offer insights to businesses that will truly help them to grow.

It’s awesome and you’re going to love it.

In this episode we’re joined by Alex Falcon Heurta from Soaring Falcon Accountancy in the UK.

Alex has only been running her practice for the last 3.5 years but in that short amount of time she’s won multiple awards, she was voted Xero’s Most Valued Professional and she’s also recently started touring the UK with the ACCA as part of their ‘future proof your practice’ roadshow.

Now in this episode Alex had some brilliant secrets to share around managing your team remotely, and also being clear on exactly what types of clients you want to work with, and don’t want to work with.

She’s an incredibly inspiring woman and it was a pleasure to chat her. I hope that you enjoy the episode.
