Many firms are helping their clients with strategy planning, but it's not uncommon for a firm not to have their own plan or not have anyone helping them stay accountable. That's where the Strategic Planning Enabled program comes in.

This is the process of creating specific firm strategies, implementing them and evaluating the results of executing the plan in regard to an accounting firm's overall long-term goals and objectives, while being held accountable.

The focus is on integrating finance management, people, processes, clients and services within a firm to accomplish its strategic goals.

Mark is an experienced consultant in the industry and knows how to ensure accounting firms reach their goals.

The best way to stay on track with your strategy and achieve your objectives is to have accountability.
