New eBook Available (with a chapter by moi)
I am honored to have a chapter in this new free eBook. Here is more from the press release:
Entrepreneurs starting their own businesses now have a little more help. Start with a Profit: Best-Practice Tips for New Entrepreneurs from Top Accounting Industry Leaders is the latest guide to helping new business owners become successful.
Editor Sandi Leyva, CPA, asked fellow accounting industry thought leaders one question: “For someone who wants to start a new business from scratch today, what is the most important strategy or tactic you’d tell them about to help them succeed?” One dozen thought leaders along with Sandi provided their answers. Co-authors include:
- Alison Ball, Senior Manager of the Global Influencer Program of Intuit, Inc.
- Sharada Bhansali, Co-Founder of AccountantsWorld
- Randy Johnston, CEO of Network Management Group, Inc.
- Ed Kless, Senior Director of Partner Development and Strategy of Sage
- Sandi Leyva, Founder of Accountant’s Accelerator
- Monika Miles, President of Miles Consulting Group, Inc.
- Clayton Oates, Chief Solutions Officer of QA Business Pty Ltd.
- Edi Osborne, CEO of MentorPlus
- Leslie Shiner, Owner of the ShinerGroup
- Doug Sleeter, Founder of the Sleeter Group
- Sandra Wiley, COO and Shareholder of Boomer Consulting
- Geni Whitehouse, Countess of Communication of Even a Nerd Can Be Heard
- Scott Zarret, President of CPA Academy
“To my knowledge, it’s the first collaborative work of thought leaders in the accounting industry,” says Sandi Leyva. This is Sandi’s 30th book and her first collaboration as editor.
Although each author’s contribution is quite unique, a few client-centric themes emerged, including how to market most effectively, how to build customer relationships, and how to interact with clients. Others focused on business models and pricing. Still others urged the entrepreneur to embrace their passion and their “why.”
