Perhaps you’ve done accounting for years and see areas within a client’s business that they could improve but don’t know how to properly advise them. Maybe you’ve even heard you need to offer more value-added services beyond traditional accounting. But how?

He will teach you how, as accounting professionals, you can confidently and competently offer high-value services and get paid what you are worth as a certified Value Builder™ provider.

This is your opportunity to assess your company while also seeing what you, in turn, could offer your clients as their accountant, their business coach, their certified Value Builder™ provider.
