four-part plan to re-ignite revenue growth

new times call for new expansion strategies.

by gale crosley

it’s been a long slog, but we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel known as the great recession. both job creation and the gross domestic product are robust. interest rates remain low, and the stock market is showing solid gains.

while these bright spots are welcome, i urge firm leaders not to be lured into believing that it’s back to business as usual. the light at the end of the tunnel may look like, well, light. but the market conditions illuminated by that light are substantially different from those of the pre-recession environment.

what’s changed? nearly everything, from an upsurge in globalization to stiffer competition, increased standards and regulations, more specialization and a growing reliance on technology. today, clients can engage cpa firms around the corner or around the globe. just because you’re in the neighborhood doesn’t mean you’re in the running. read more →

not all fish need audits

market segmentation and why you need it.

by gale crosley
crosley+co.

successful cpa firms are typically open to approaches known to yield positive growth. so why are they so reluctant (dare i say impossibly stubborn) when it comes to embracing the concept of market segmentation?it’s often perceived as complex, difficult to understand, and therefore optional. however, it is so fundamental to strategy development that bypassing market segmentation can result in years of wasted effort and disappointing growth results.market segmentation is the foundation of specialization, a natural outgrowth of mature markets like ours. cpa firms no longer have the luxury of being all things to all clients. today’s market conditions require that we hone in on the needs of focused buyer groups with similar attributes. but first, we need to know what those groups are and what they need.

it’s a lot like fish. not all fish are the same, and they certainly don’t all need audits. some trout need tax work. bass require business consulting. and flounder, well, they “flounder” and need help with everything!

things are changing and the old growth model no longer fits.

from the outside it might appear that public accounting is much the same as it has always been. cpas pursue traditional activities such as tax, audit, and consulting services. to build their business, they lunch with lawyers and attend after-hours cocktail receptions.

yet beneath this familiar scenario, our profession is undergoing a seismic shift, one set in motion by changing market conditions, technological advances, demographic transformation, and other factors. as a result, much about the way we practice is being forced to change. that’s certainly the case when it comes to growth.

jack welch, the former general electric ceo turned guru, urges business leaders to “change before you have to.” that’s advice accounting firm partners should heed.

the 6 elements to sustainable growth for cpa firms

the signs that you’re heading in the right direction.

i’ve talked a good deal about sustainable growth lately. and i’m often asked how i know if a firm can achieve it. the answer is to look for the common indicators. it’s relatively easy to know if your firm is growing. but how do you know that the growth you’re experiencing is sustainable? what are the signs that it will last beyond this year?

firms that are consistent performers demonstrate common elements of sustainable growth. those elements are integrated seamlessly in the best firms. here’s what i look for:

news flash – the business model has changed.

when we think of innovation we typically think of a new product or service – something that didn’t exist yesterday that will make tomorrow better. innovative offerings are essential to the portfolio of any growth-minded cpa firm.

however, long-term sustainable growth requires a far more comprehensive innovation in your growth model, the strategic blueprint that helps you get from point a to point b.

jody padar’s new vision for the ‘new accounting’

five ways the new generation of cpas is changing the profession.

the radical cpa: new rules for the future-ready firm

when cpa jody padar joined her father in his practice after eight years in a traditional mid-market firm, she assumed that his clients would become theirs. but jody’s dad had a different idea. he believed his daughter should learn how to build a client base, not just serve an existing one.

the approach may not have been what jody was expecting, but the experience of seeking out and developing client relationships was formative. in fact, she leveraged it to create new vision cpa group in chicago, which provides complete accounting and tax solutions.

jody and her firm are part of a movement i’ve dubbed “the new accounting.” although applied differently by individual practitioners, the movement can generally be defined by five characteristics: read more →

reality check: achieving world-class growth requires real-world intelligence

why you can’t believe your own press clippings.

by gale crosley, cpa
crosley+co

ever run a race and immediately sense that you got off to an exceptionally fast start? it’s a good feeling, but if your goal is to beat out the competition there’s really only one way to know for sure how you’re doing. and that’s by marking your progress toward the finish line relative to the other racers.

the same can be said of efforts to grow your firm. to gauge your progress you have to get outside your own four walls and see how you measure up to the competition. read more →

crosley: the three elements of growth strategy

developing a growth strategy is easy. getting it right is not.

gale crosley, a growth strategist for cpa firms, explains that successful expansion plans require at least three critical elements: (1) identify the right set of services (2) for a needful target market (3) delivered through the appropriate distribution methods.

sounds simple, right? no.

but, she says, “when you hook a service to a channel to a target, and you get exactly the three digits right, then all of a sudden you pop open the strategy and that’s how you get great growth.”

crosley: defining the new business model

why you need to ditch your conference table.

leading-edge cpa firms are developing new growth strategies that are quick to replace slow-growing markets and fading services with new, narrow, fast-growing markets in need of specialized services, according to gale crosley, a growth strategy consultant for cpa firms.

“the foundation of the new business model is specialization,” she says.

analysis

firms are realizing that growth is a more sophisticated game, and we are never going back to the “hang out your shingle” days. succession issues are playing a major part in motivating firms to take a hard look at how they are going to grapple with sustainable growth.

when the business world was somewhat predictable, growth could be counted on. but there are too many complexities today to count on the past as a predictor of the future. globalization, social media, innovation, regulation, competition — these are just some of the dynamics at play. the way business was generated by our seasoned partners will be quite different from our future leaders. this awareness is becoming more acute as sluggish economic conditions continue. read more →
