In today’s economy, small business owners need so much more than typical bookkeeping and tax preparation services. To maximize their business’ potential and increase their earnings, they need a trusted, strategic advisor who they can turn to with their most difficult problems.
Who can an entrepreneur turn to in their life for advice on running their small business? They face difficult problems that they probably don’t want to burden their employees or family members with. With all the stress that they carry, you can become the expert they need to manage their cash flow, tighten up their business plan, and make financially-sound, actionable plans for expansion.
Multiply the experience of that one business owner across the millions of small businesses in America and you can see why there’s a huge demand for CFO/advisory services. Our online business advisory training gives you a portal to access one of the most lucrative revenue streams in the world of accounting.
The road to offering quality CFO & advisory services starts with becoming certified as a Profit & Growth Expert. This course will teach you the fundamentals of business consulting, starting with strategies for businesses who need immediate help as explained by Universal Accounting Center founder Alf Bostrom, CPA, in his book, “Red to Black in 30 Days: A Small Business Accountant’s Guide to Quick Turnarounds.” This is a how-to guide on how to turn around a struggling business into a more sustainable model. Each chapter focuses on a crucial aspect of the turnaround process – from cash flow management to strategies for improving revenue.
Next you’ll learn Bostrom’s proven techniques for building financially stable businesses with “In the Black: Nine Principles to Make Your Business Profitable.” Mastering the three major functions of business (marketing, production and accounting) builds a strong foundation to become a business consultant.
Upon completion of the Profit & Growth Expert certification program, you will be able to price, market and sell your services as an outsourced CFO. You’ll have the skills to deliver services confidently and the ability to retain clients.
Once you can teach your clients how to run sustainable operations, you can use Universal Accounting’s BizBench benchmarking software to compare the businesses you serve with their competitors. BizBench measures your clients in key performance indicators against similar businesses using the NAICS code.
The cherry on top of it all is the access professionals get as Profit & Growth Experts to the Universal Business Builder program. Universal Business Builder outlines the delivery of quality coaching services to business owners with an emphasis on how it applies to accounting.
