Webinar Details
Course Description

Designed for CPAs, but also applicable to enrolled agents and accountants, this webinar covers the steps necessary to effectively transform a tax or accounting practice into an advisory service. We explore what it means to be a CFO/advisor to small-to-medium sizes businesses and what qualifications are necessary to offer such a service. We will also cover how to find and convert leads and how to price and package services, including combining advisory services with the firm’s current offerings. 

Attendees will learn:

  • What, exactly, a CFO/Advisor does
  • How to know if you're qualified to provide CFO/Advisory services
  • How to replace your income with just advisory clients
  • How to package and price your advisory services
  • How to combine tax and advisory services (if you still want to offer tax)
  • How to deliver an advisory service in a way that keeps clients coming back for more
