The Proven Solution for Maximising Profit from Your Small Business Clients
Â
 Simon Clarke, Haines Watts Chartered Accountants, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk
Let's face it. You understand double entry... but do your small business clients?
Many of them try to use Sage or Quickbooks and because they do not understand double entry accounting, they mess it up.
Then they bring it into you thinking they've saved you time and expecting a reduced fee. But in reality, they've actually caused you more work because you have to spend extra unnecessary time finding the mistakes.
And this results in you working longer hours. And you either write-off some of time (so you are working for nothing) or you charge your client and they complain to all their friends about how expensive you are.
But even more importantly, you don't have the time to spend on things that help your clients build more successful businesses and also earn you higher rates of return.
Perhaps you can sympathise with accountant Timothy Lee who says "The greeting comment 'Oh! It’s easy this year – it’s all here on disk' have become the most terrifying of words a client can utter to me now."
Actually, the number 1 problem for accounting firms today is 'capacity'. There is so much that could be done but is not possible because recruiting and retaining good staff seems to be getting increasingly difficult.
And even if you can get staff, why would you want to have staff that you don't need?
So let me tell you about 'Cashflow Manager', a program that was originally developed by an Australian accountant to service his small business clients and quickly became sought after by other firms. In fact, Australian accountants have used Cashflow Manager with more than 120,000 small business owners.
And the good news is that Cashflow Manager is also available in the UK as well. And here are some comments from UK accountants already using the program.

'Cashflow Manager' is based on the premise that when your clients provide you with excellent records, the time you have to spend on ensuring the records are correct is minimised so you become increasingly efficient - because you are doing things right, and increasingly effective - because you are doing the right things.
The fact is: your clients can become your greatest resource.
Firms using Cashflow Manager are reporting that more than 90% of small business clients are providing them with records that are reconciled to bank accounts, so it really works.
This has resulted in what we have called 'The Cashflow Manager Philosophy' so my question is...
Do you agree with the Cashflow Manager Philosophy?
We believe:
- There is a difference between bookkeeping and accounting, and most small business owners should not try to be accountants. Rather they should keep records that help them with the day to day running of their business and make it easy for their accountants to effectively complete their compliance work.
- Accountants are the best people to advise small business clients on the bookkeeping or accounting solutions to use because they understand their clients' needs and level of accounting expertise.
- Accountants who have their clients' best interests at heart will advise them when there is a better solution for their needs.
- Cashflow Manager is the best solution for accountants to maximise efficiency, effectiveness and profitability from small business clients.
