Course Description

Over the past decade, accounting professionals consulting clients as a revenue stream has grown by 75% - a staggering number. Even though consulting is not necessarily a "traditional" service delivered by CPA firms, bookkeeping practices, and the like, consider the number of times a client has asked you directly for advice. Such ad-hoc advice can frequently evolve into a more considerable consulting opportunity for your business and a great way to enhance the practitioner's value proposition - increasing risk along the way.

Learning Objectives:


  • Evaluate your firm's expertise in your chosen consulting methods
