Description

In today’s economy, managing an accounting firm demands leading edge management practices that enable you to improve your firm management, enhance performance, grow the top line, and increase profits.

Written and hosted by Mark Lloydbottom, Defining Edge systematically covers the key areas where developing your management practices will result in significant advances. In this programme Mark becomes your coach as he leads you through six dynamic training sessions and introduces you to a wealth of specific accounting firm management practices.

As you interact with Mark, you will learn how to apply the principles derived from the LUBRM model and benefit directly from the many insights he has gained over more than 30 years experience - including the iceberg of time, the rear view mirror of service, the anchor of the time sheet, the powerful lesson from the dentist’s surgery, the mime artist, and many more.

Defining Edge comes complete with 6 DVDs and/or 6CDs, and a 160 page easy-to-follow manual, and includes over 70 on-screen Defining Edge questions that are integral to the programme. 

Let Mark be your coach for a season and discover how to improve your management results by:

  • Improving utilisation
  • Increasing realisation
  • Reducing client fee sensitivity
  • Billing what you’re worth and collecting what you bill
  • Applying the nine ways to improve billing
  • Reducing lock up
  • Enhancing client service
  • Upgrading your souvenirs
  • Focusing on visible time

  • The one third of capital principle
  • The law of fee flexibility
  • Your invisible report card
  • Your own personal development
  • The short term keys that have impact

    Note from Mark

    "Defining Edge is a distillation of the key principles, insights, and strategies I have taught over the last twenty years as a consultant.

    In my personal journey, management was both an art and a science that I had to learn the hard way - through experience, making mistakes and learning as I progressed through my career. I left the security of a well paid job as a manager with the promise of partnership to chart a course I could never have imagined at the outset. On this extraordinary journey I discovered how to better manage myself, my staff, my clients, my referrals and my prospects - gathering priceless nuggets of insight and experience along the way.

    Join me as I share a lifetime of learning. I guarantee this experience will help you and your firm enjoy greater success."
