Adopt a technology-first mindset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There\u2019s little debate that the accounting world has changed dramatically through emerging technology, and it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time is a precious resource within any accountancy practice, and in order to run more efficiently, how you spend it is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with your manual processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than spending precious billable hours on basic admin tasks like manually entering data, let your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-ie\/accountants\/\">accounting software<\/a> and add-ons, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-ie\/sage-business-cloud\/accounting\/features\/autoentry\/\">AutoEntry<\/a>, use automation to do it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to take your firm to the next level, embrace technology and the new world of accounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"understand-anchor-link\">2. Understand your clients\u2019 needs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As an accountant, delivering more value to clients has probably always been high up on your agenda. After all, managing small business finances is tough and you\u2019re the expert your clients run to. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the world works differently now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re living in a time where the stakes are high, resources are limited, and flexibility is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be a successful accountant and ensure you\u2019re supporting your clients the way they need, you must think bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider taking a more client-centric approach. Tailor conversations around what you can do to help them make informed decisions for their business. Discuss how leveraging cloud technology can help them achieve a work-life balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digging a little deeper to find out what they need is a win-win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"master-anchor-link\">3. Master project management basics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Project management can give your practice a competitive edge by defining the success of your firm the same way your clients do\u2014through results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as you know, there are common constraints that can easily affect the outcome your clients expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you added a new advisory service to your firm. How long did it take for you to complete this project?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Were you within budget? Was your client satisfied?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to have defined scope and resources in order to meet your projects\u2019 unique requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"#gate-6b862a69-3267-486e-ae6d-b9bbe92a17cb\">Download your free copy of The Practice of Now to learn about the changing face of accounting and how you can support your clients <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"improve-anchor-link\">4. Improve business processes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How often do prospects slip through the cracks? Do you deliver proposals only to hear crickets? Do people in your firm stiffen at the idea of selling or say they\u2019re too busy for business development?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a common cure for all of these problems: a business development process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to lead your firm forward and grow, everyone should be a part of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you need to have someone overseeing every lead, but ensure that your team understands your firm\u2019s goals and strategy for winning new clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"attract-anchor-link\">5. Attract, retain and inspire talent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask any high-performing future-ready accountancy firm about their number one asset and they\u2019ll tell you it\u2019s their people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nutshell, your in-house talent is what differentiates you from your competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re searching for top talent or want to ensure yours stick around for the years to come, providing a strong work culture and opportunities for people to grow is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in today\u2019s world, benefits and location are crucial factors you need to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"market-anchor-link\">6. Market your services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing is your lifeline to growth. It connects your firm\u2019s brand to current and potential clients. Without it, you\u2019re out of sight, out of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is you don\u2019t have to trim your budget. Get creative with your marketing efforts and save while doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leverage social media advertising. If your firm has a blog, encourage guest posts. Speak at virtual events and share testimonials from existing clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marketing isn\u2019t about how much money you spend, but the time and effort you put into connecting with clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Show them what you\u2019re made of; demonstrate the value you can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single-cta gated-content\">\n\t<div
