We were up against stiff competition including Northern Accountants, SJD Accountancy, Tayabali Tomlin, but the judges commented:

For Kinder Accountants, growth isn’t just about the numbers. While many accountants are active on Twitter, Kinder Pocock actively measures results from its social media channels and blogging activity. Coupled with a determined focus on face-to-face client meetings and networking, the judges saw a very clear demonstration of the firm’s commitment to both its own growth and that of its clients. This was borne out by a pattern of consistent practice growth over the past five years.”

Earlier in the day Sharon led a packed session at the conference on “Future Proofing your Practice” with our wonderful and award-winning Growth Coach Rachel Carr of Business Checkmate, Karen Reyburn of the Profitable Firm, MC’d uniquely by Nelson da Silva of Receipt Bank.

Key take-aways from the session were:

1. Seek to create customer delight

Client relationships are the most future proof asset your firm can have

2. Smarter business attitudes need to match your smarter business systems

Make your systems work for you, and then use them to your full advantage

3. You can choose your attitude – make it a positive one!

A positive mindset helps you make the most of the opportunities that come your way, and effectively deal with the challenges you’ll face.

 

Kinder Accountants are also shortlisted for the British Accountancy Awards – Online Innovation Award 2015.  The other shortlisted firm is BDO, a global accountancy firm so it will be interesting to see how this David and Goliath tale pans out!  Keep your fingers crossed for us!
