We are thrilled to partner with Universal Accounting. The purpose of our partnership with UA is to help accounting professionals grow their practice and better serve their clients. This partnership delivers on that promise.

Offering accounting professionals the tools and training to provide their clients the needed services to succeed in business is true to the mission of Universal Accounting Center.  For this reason it was only natural to give our students the opportunity to enroll in and certify as Profit First Professionals.  The future of accounting is helping clients as a trusted advisor.  Giving them the direction they need to insure their profits will become more important and a key service within any accounting firm.

Regarding this announcement Roger Knecht, president of UAC said, “Helping our students train and become Profit First Professionals is a natural extension of the training we’ve offered for years.  Enabling our students the become Profit & Growth Experts has been an essential part of our training for years.  To now have a program that certifies their skills gives our graduates the confidence and competence to earn the money they deserve as they work with their clients.”

The key elements of this offer will be:

• Enrollment in the Universal Practice Builder program
• 1 year access to the benchmarking product BizBench
• An assigned structured business coach to apply proven marketing strategies for a year or more
• Enrollment and training in ProfitU
• Coaching and support to apply the Profit First Professional principles in their own company and then their clients.

Looking forward to the New Year Ron Saharyan says “Profit First Professionals and Universal Accounting are an extremely compelling integrated solution for accounting firms looking to improve their performance while maximizing their profitability. A true benefit to accounting firms and the customers they serve”

Mike Michalowicz, author and founder of Profit First Professional added, “The business of accounting is changing at warp speed. To succeed in the years ahead as an accountant or bookkeeper, you must be able to consult your clients on what the numbers mean, and what actions they need to take to move the business forward. And what business owners need most is consulting on profit. The graduates of the UAC / Profit First program will be positioned to do just that.”

For this and other reasons Universal Accounting Center (UAC), an accounting school for small business professionals announced their partnership with the Profit First Professional (PFP) as they continue to help the small business community world wide.
