Partnering with
Accountants
Your guide to the
ultimate referral destination
At last! Here is a complete guide for financial planners and other professionals that explains how to develop and maintain long-lasting referral arrangements with accountants.
Partnering with Accountants outlines the do’s, the don’ts and other essential insights that can deliver great outcomes for clients as well as business growth for both accountants and referral partners. These tips will make all the difference with the success you achieve in securing quality leads and client introductions from accountants.
Written by an accountant who enjoyed a successful JV with a financial planner, this book provides practical advice as to just what it takes to create an ongoing stream of referrals. All issues both small (such as what language not to use with an accountant) and large (considerations in buying an accounting firm) are tackled in the book. A collection of ready-to-use letters and other tools to help you secure real outcomes is also included.
Why read this book?
This comprehensive insight explains accountants’ concerns about referring their clients and how to help them feel confident about endorsing a third party. How to successfully initiate and build collaborative relationships is outlined in easy to understand steps.
Filled with case studies, check lists and tips, Partnering with Accountants is a handbook that will help financial planners to navigate through the challenges and opportunities associated with accounting collaborations.
Interestingly, a section of this book has been used in the Chartered Accountants’ Public Practice Certificate Course. This is all part of Scott’s mission to improve referral relationships with accountants.
