This episode is the full audiobook recording of Advisory Teams, written and read by Tim Seymour and Deb Halliday.
Advisory Teams is built around one simple but powerful idea:
Advisory should never depend on one person.
Too many accountants, bookkeepers, and financial professionals make the shift from compliance into advisory, only to create a new bottleneck — themselves. They become the centre of every conversation, every decision, and every client relationship.
That model creates pressure. It limits growth. And eventually, it caps the business.
In this audiobook, Tim and Deb share their combined experiences of building, scaling, and evolving advisory-led practices, showing what it really takes to move beyond technician work and build something bigger.
This is not just about becoming a better advisor.
It is about building advisory capability across your business.
Inside this book, we explore the frameworks, conversations, systems, and team structures that allow advisory to scale without relying on the owner to carry it all.
From pricing and positioning, to client conversations, authority, leadership, and collaboration, Advisory Teams lays out a practical model for building a stronger, more sustainable advisory practice.
If you want to move beyond compliance, build deeper client relationships, and create a practice that grows without becoming the bottleneck, this audiobook will show you how.
