and here is how:

 

  • Your Engagement with UAC. As we work with you to improve the value of your business this is what you can expect.  We will each month teach you a new strategy, process or procedure needed to increase the actual value of your business, increase your bottom line profits, clarity for the direction of the business in the coming years (1, 3 and 5 year plans) as well as creating an enhanced company culture.

 

  • Here is how it works.  When you engage with Universal Accounting we we commit to do the one or more of the following in the coming 12+ months:

Monthly One-on-One or Conference call

This is four one-hour one-on-one meetings a month.  Each meeting will review the previous discussion and the related assignments with a focus on the 8 key value drivers.  A new topic will be introduced and prioritized.  In that process, you will decide how best to implement it within the business and what assignments will be given.  Lastly, the next appointment will be set.  (Following the call, a summary will be given along with complementary information.)

Attendance at a Monthly Training & Master Mind Meeting with peer business owners

This monthly meeting delves into the training topics in more detail.  Because of the setting we discuss with other business owners the importance of implementing it in the business and how best to do so.  In the training your peers will share in confidence the challenges and success they are each facing as they also move forward.  You will have the opportunity to provide insights and suggestions while receiving the same.

Training for Your Management Team

Many have a team of executives or management that need to also understand the value of the changes being made and will be given assignments related to the same.  As part of the engagement Universal can also train your management team to involve and engage them accordingly.  Often their buy-in is key to the success of the process and this ensures the seamless process.

Quarterly Retreat Facilitation

Key to the success in business is the ability to work “ON” rather than just “IN” the business.  Removing from the place of business those individuals essential to the success of the business and for two days focusing on the recent results, receiving specific training, while gaining clarity for the coming months will accelerate the success of the business and those involved.  Universal will facilitate this offsite retreat with the intent to springboard the business to the next level of success and profit.

Here is a summary of the things we will cover in the coming months:

  • The Value Builder System (8 Drivers)
  • Benchmarking with BizBench
  • The Universal Business Model
  • The Business Improvement Cycle
  • The Business Improvement Process
  • The Wisdom Pyramid
  • High / Low Impact Evaluation
  • Nine Principles for Profitability
  • The Universal Project Management Model
  • The Universal Turnaround Model
  • The Geometric Growth Model
  • The S.T.A.R. Program
  • The Pyramid of Employee Needs
  • The Wheel of Business
  • The Wheel of Life
  • And more!!

All of this can include:

  • Business Development Training/Coaching
  • Retreat Facilitation
  • Succession Planning
  • Strategic Planning
  • Client Team Training
  • Executive Roundtables
  • Executive Coaching
  • Marketing Consulting
  • Exit Strategy
