When a client calls with a "quick question," it's rarely the whole story. They need clarity on the problem behind the question, but they need your help to even know what to ask. The best accountants recognise this as an invitation - not just to answer, but to guide.

The challenge? Most accountants answer the surface question and move on, leaving valuable advisory work and revenue on the table. You can transform these moments into meaningful conversations that get you paid for the strategic advice you're already capable of giving.

The holidays are the perfect time to build this skill. After the initial relax, your mind turns to your business - that book, that podcast. Use the break from lodgements to invest in yourself.

If this sounds like you, join Timothy Munro and David Boyar from ChangeGPS to learn:
  • A self-assessment framework that shows you exactly where you stand on compliance and business advisory readiness. Most accountants discover strengths they didn't know they had or blind spots they've been ignoring
  • The three conversation types every compliance client needs - and the specific language to use in each one to introduce business advisory work without it feeling like a sales pitch
  • A client segmentation model so you know which 5-10 clients to approach first (going after everyone is a mistake - going after the right ones is new revenue in 30 days)
