bissett bullet: do you need an accountability partner?

today’s bissett bullet: “positive change in our firms happens when we decide to hold ourselves accountable for achieving the change and hire proven catalysts to help.”

by martin bissett

so many accounting firms look to change but very few actually want to be the change. as a result, the recurring fee model in accounting encourages a degree of apathy and lethargy with regard to growth. with this recurring fee model, there is no commercial imperative to actually have to win new fees week in week out to pay the bills as many of your clients do.

on that basis, the only way growth can happen, and positive change can happen in your firm, is when you decide there is a reason for it and get external accountability to make sure you are held to account for achieving that change. when you are looking to develop your firm’s fee base, talent base or service base, make sure you have got someone you respect cracking the whip to help you to make it happen.

today’s to-do:

today you need to decide what you are really prepared to be held accountable for in terms of positive change in your firm. set that firm goal up right now with the external accountability to make it happen.
