Shannon Badger is a managing partner at Badger & Badger in San Antonio, Texas. She came to me nine months ago. The company had billed $1.2M the previous year, netting only about $200k in profit. In her own words, she called the culture of the company “frantic, over-extended and the team was definitely burned out.” She noted that lack of focus around priorities was a big problem, and there was no strategy. In fact, goals “didn’t exist”. Her or her staff said yes to everything, every project – no matter the size. Nine months later, thanks to my Mastermind coaching program, Shannon has made some serious changes to the company. The business now focuses on clients who need their finances managed year around, and who are willing to spend at least $25k/yearly. She had previously identified these clients, and sold the rest - which amounted to about two-thirds of her company’s clientele. However, those clients were generating far less revenue, so that loss was more than made up by the expansion of services offered to her remaining clients, and the acquisition of new ones. Shannon has also been much strategic in her hiring practices, and has built a relationship with a referral partner. Her work-life balance is much more comfortable now. The company has already hit $2M in revenue in the first year working with me and is on track to double their billing again, and net income is shaping up to be 4x that of last year’s. Shannon says she can now focus on new client development and strategy. Her team is happier, and confidence levels are high because the team is focusing on work they do well.

John Harvard runs his own Accounting firm in Tallahassee, Florida. Last year his accounting firm was realizing serious problems; there was very little delegation, the hours were long, he or his team referred work to other businesses that they did not get a fee for, and the work his company did bill for was tough to collect on. John also noted that his team’s services were seriously undervalued, possibly based on the fact that he was worried his clients would go elsewhere if he raised the prices.He had 18 staff, yet the company’s revenue was only $1.7M in 2017. However, total profit was only $250k after his overhead and expenses were removed.John took on my program. It made him realize that he didn’t have a proper plan for scaling the business, nor was he hiring the right personnel to take on the projects they did have. Within ten months, John was able to:Prioritize the company’s work and be more strategicIncrease the company’s profit, with less staffCut unprofitable clientsDelegate more, so he could concentrate on higher billing projectsSource payment from clients, up front Charge “value-based” fees Have the time to handle urgent situations much more effectivelyEnjoy a lot more personal time (time for hobbies, and more time with his wife and children)John has more than doubled his company’s profits, and he expects to increase them even more over the next year. He also now manages less staff. In fact, the company has become so efficient that even though his business has more projects than ever, his new concern is running out of work. Connect with me here on LinkedIn so I can show you how to increase your accounting business’s profits, reduce the amount of time spent per client, and get you some valuable personal time back.

Paula Field is a CPA based out of Allen, Texas. She also is a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and her company specializes in representing small and medium-sized business owners before the IRS. A year ago, Paula was worried about her company’s future. Her staff felt overloaded and frustrated; morale was low. Plans for growth had also stalled and any time she did try to implement something new, she ran into roadblocks. She reached out to me and undertook my high performance coaching program. Now, in just one year’s time, she has doubled her company’s revenue, from $750k to $1.5M. I showed Paula how to:Offer more servicesClarify everybody’s role in her companySet up an “Offshore” team Implement “weekly accounting” (which provides real time information for clients)Go paperless (through the Cloud)Improve communication with clientsDevelop a LinkedIn strategy to attract new clientsCharge appropriately Paula was now confident she was in a position to raise her client fees, because of the added value her business provides. She did so, by 25%. She also estimates that 80% of her clients buy her new services too. Paula feels her company is on track for $3M in billing in the next 18 months.Connect with me here on LinkedIn so I can show you how to increase your accounting business’s profits while reducing the amount of time spent per client.

Since May 1994 my world has been all about Accountants. I have trained them, coached them, mentored them, and created products for them and built companies that serve them. With my mentoring and coaching of Partners in Accounting firms I help them do 3 things:1. Make over $1M profit per partner whilst working less than 500 client hours.2. Build amazing Accounting businesses.3. Change the lives of themselves and their clients.So far I have directly coached 434 firms and have helped to add more than $850M of additional profit to them. Due to time constraints I cannot take on every coaching / mentoring request. Each year I work with a small group of qualified firms who want to achieve the 3 objectives above. My coaching methods produce unprecedented results for Accountants however it's not for everyone. My coaching is NOT for:► Accounting firms that have a track record of FTI - Failure To Implement.► Beginner Accounting firms - you need to have already implemented the basics.► Small Accounting firms - you need to be established and have at least US$500K in annual revenue.► Large Accounting firms - if you’re over $10M then we can look at something different.My coaching IS for:► Ambitious firms who want to dominate and double or triple profit in the near future.► Good firms now - measured by awards, good KPI's or what you have already implemented.► Firms that implement - must have track record of implementation.► Good people who are fun to work with!If you'd like to explore a coaching relationship then send me an email with a bit of background on your firm and what you'd like to achieve - rob@robnixon.comSome examples of firms I have helped over the years are below:

In 2011 I wrote ‘Accounting Practices Don’t Add Up’ with the premise that Accountants have a business to run not a practice. In 2015 I wrote ‘Remaining Relevant - the future of the Accounting profession’ with the premise that technology will commoditize compliance work and the profession needs to move to business advisory services to thrive. In 2017 I wrote “The Perfect Firm”. It’s a playbook about everything I have learned on how to build a great Accounting business. All 3 books have been best sellers and are available on Amazon.

Since may 1994 I have delivered over 2,150 keynotes, seminars, workshops or conferences. Over 175,000 Accountants have heard me speak in 16 countries. My speaking style can be confronting. It's always practical, fun and very engaging. I am not afraid to tell it the way it is - this can upset some people. I like delegates to walk away from one of my talks with practical action plans they can implement right away. All of my talks are delivered in line with what I believe. You see...1) I believe Accountants are the number one in numbers - not a piece of software.2) I believe Accountants can be (actually need to be) the trusted adviser.3) I believe Accountants do not earn enough for how smart they are and the value that they add.4) I believe Accountants should be making >$1M profit per Partner whilst working less than 500 client hours.5) I believe Accountants can help their clients build amazing businesses.6) I believe Accountants should help their clients make history instead of writing it up.7) I believe Accountants can change lives!The topics change over the years but the focus (my beliefs) never will. I am available to speak at industry conferences, network and association events and of course for Accountants all over the world. Some examples of my speaking style are below.
