Should Accountants be Teaching Their Clients? We can use teaching as we way to align everyone to the same business goals. If we're teaching our team and at the same time teaching clients those same concepts, they're now speaking a common language. They're now working off the same metrics and the same KPIs and the same business goals. The goals could be to increase cash flow, increase profitability, pay off debt, make a strategic acquisition or make a sale of the business. Those are just really powerful messages to align the whole team to the same goals.
