"I love technology" - Kip Dynamite

After working in other companies and firms for 10 years I started a tax, accounting and consulting firm called Axiom CPA in 2005. The focus of that company was to help business owners identify where they want their business to go, plan strategically to get there and execute those plans on a weekly and monthly basis. We also spent a large amount of our time in traditional CPA firm services such as accounting, bookkeeping and tax preparation.

In 2012 the tax and accounting firm clients were sold to another firm and Axiom Strategic Consulting narrowed its focus to strategic planning and execution. As a CPA I am more focused on the numbers than most consultants or coaches. The programs and strategies we devise with clients can always be traced to their impact on the bottom line. As a consultant my approaches and tools have been developed in the trenches alongside business owners and their teams.

Thirty years as a multiple award-winning producer, director, writer, executive, and actor for most major TV networks and studios. My goal: position Cloudwalker Videoworks as the top supplier of network-quality, affordable, high-impact videos for websites, product, corporations, non-profits, local TV ads, and more. Looking to network with companies with which I have a natural synergy, such as marketing/branding and website firms, to create mutually beneficial business opportunities.

I am a serial CFO and entrepreneurial accounting professional, most recently as Co-Founder & CEO of ReconciledIt.com and Owner of Burlington CFO, LLC.

I got started in the profession at an early age. As the son of Cambodian refugees who made our home in Arizona in the early 80s, I worked for an amateur sports nonprofit during high school. At the age of 16, while overseeing their database structure and event enrollment, I was quickly named as Controller for that same nonprofit and served until I was 19 and in college.

Since then, I've served in a variety of financial leadership capacities, from Controller to CFO. After moving to Burlington, VT in late 2011, I've quickly became a trusted adviser to CEOs and business owners, developing a niche as a part-time CFO. I launched ReconciledIt.com in 2015 as my customer's demands for bookkeeping services grew and the technology to serve them online has come to a good level of maturity. We have grown relatively quickly and was selected by Intuit as a 2016 Firm of the Future Runner-up, recognizing us as one of the most future-ready and forward-thinking firms in the world.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED AN ONLINE BOOKKEEPING SERVICE OR VIRTUAL CFO?
As an online firm, we bring financial leadership in all areas of accounting (from Bookkeeper to CFO) to businesses across the country. Thanks to cloud technology tools like Quickbooks Online, small businesses can now afford bookkeeping & CFO services remotely.

I’m a Certified Public Accountant and a Registered Investment Advisor, author, and financial & tax educator. I believe there’s more than enough good fortune to go around, and my genuine passion is helping small businesses thrive.

I’m an entrepreneur myself, and it pains me to see small business owners getting bogged down in unnecessary, time-consuming details. With what I know, I can easily help them enjoy their businesses – and their lives – more fully. This is what my firm, The Omar Group, is all about – removing roadblocks and paving the way to success for every entrepreneur. My second company, CPA Marketing Genius, does the same specifically for CPA firms.

I started The Omar Group in 1996 to help New Jersey entrepreneurs uncover the untapped profits and hidden tax savings in their small businesses. Since then, I've helped hundreds of small business owners do just that, using our proprietary "profit detective" system. Additionally, I educate small business owners through my books, videos, seminars and coaching. My specialty is businesses ranging from start-ups to those with revenues of up to $20 million a year.

I am the author of two books:

Straight Talk About Small Business Success in New Jersey

- and -

The Ultimate CPA Practice in the New Economy

David Fisher, keynote speaker, author and coach, has seen all the mistakes financial professionals like you have made when networking for accounting clients.

My goal is to help professionals be better professionals. That encompasses networking, sales, communication, entrepreneurship, and personal development. I focus on the skill sets that enable individuals to be more effective and successful on a daily basis. I am the author of "Networking in the 21st Century: Why Your Network Sucks and What to Do About It" and I frequently speak on business networking and social media (especially LinkedIn).

I am the host of "Beer, Beats, and Business", a podcast which provides listeners access to the thoughts and ideas of today's top movers and shakers. I also specialize in supporting salespeople, small business owners, entrepreneurs, and "solopreneur service providers" as a business coach.

I played the drums in a band for many years, and though I don't play as much anymore, everyone still uses the nickname I earned back then. So the next time we chat, feel free to call me D. Fish...

On Martin Bissett

Having spent a little under 17 years working with accounting firms across the UK to grow their firms by pro-actively winning new Grade A clients , launching USP was designed to be a departure into the education sector in order to assist business students and young professionals to develop the skill set,confidence and commercial awareness they need to achieve their career goals and exceed the expectations of their current and future employers.

Increasingly this work found a home in the accounting profession as firms looked towards developing their next generation of practice leaders and trainee recruits.

These worlds have now collided allowing USP to develop training, consulting, coaching and research content, often in business development disciplines; to empower both accounting educators and commercial firms to understand each other's needs and develop their CPD for emerging and future leaders accordingly.

In this episode of the Grow Your Firm Podcast, David Cristello and Steve Major dive right into:

• The “myth” that timesheets show productivity [Steve debunks the myth]

• The problem most firms experience that cripple them when they on-board a new client

• The exact timeline for how fast you can implement value pricing in your firm

On Steve Major: 

I work with accountants, bookkeepers and advisory businesses to transform their firm and guide small business owners on a journey of transformation. Technology is totally transforming the accounting industry and has allowed a fantastic opportunity for accounting professionals to help small business owners.

Small & medium business owners are desperate for help in making informed decisions to grow their business. Accounting professionals can help them make sense of the numbers, achieve free cashflow, understand the story of the numbers, make informed decisions.

I also work with accounting professionals to transform their firm by narrowing the focus, designing a suite of products / services, understanding and communicating value you are able to unleash the power of value pricing to command the price you deserve. Check out the Free 7 part email course - http://pricingcrashcourse.com

Pricing is both an art and science. Value pricing is not just about fixed prices of menu pricing. Value pricing means you have to truly care for your customers. (Yes customers not clients). A True Professional is one who cares for their customers and their people.

Also I help professionals and consultants Kill the Timesheet. The timesheet is at the centre of lot of problems that professionals endure. The timesheet measures the wrong thing. It assumes that all time is equal (which just does not make sense). The timesheet creates a focus on efficiency ( but it even does not deliver on that) yet it totally avoids the question of effectiveness.

With over 25 years experience in various aspect of business and finance Steve assists knowledge businesses, professional services firms, consultants, coaches and other service businesses to achieve Pricing Power.
