Humanise The Numbers - for ambitious accountants in practice

Welcome to the 'Humanise The Numbers' podcast series. Here you'll find a whole series of interviews with the leaders of accounting firms who are building (or have already built) a firm of the future now! You'll hear key insights, key skills and key habits that underpin the success of these firms. Insights, skills and habits that can underpin your firm's future success too. It seems that when an accountancy firm connects their team and their clients to the numbers that really matter to them they transform the results for everyone. This is accelerated when the humanity of the way they work shines through too. That's why we're talking about ambitious accountants humanising the numbers.Here's what a director of a multi-partner multi-national firm said recently ."What I like about your podcasts is that they are real. They are not scripted and I appreciate the fact that your interviewees admit they don’t have all the answers but are willing to let you put that fact out on a podcast. It is what is going on at the front lines of great small accounting practices. I have now listened to about half of them, I intend listening to them all as each one just has a nugget that I am writing down to see if I can use in our practice at some stage."

Humanise The Numbers - for ambitious accountants in practice

Liz Jackson & Andy Denny of BCMS - Advisors to the Profession

January 06, 2023 • Paul Shrimpling, Liz Jackson and Andy Denny

There’s no doubting the quality and strength and depth of the relationships you have with your best business-owner clients.

But someone will pip the quality of those relationships when they get involved in discussing, planning and executing the sale of your clients’ businesses.

On this humanisethenumbers.online podcast discussion, you’ll hear from Andy Denny and Liz Jackson – both directors at an organisation called BCMS, a specialist M&A provider helping business owners turning over anywhere between £10 and 100 million, sometimes a little bit less, sometimes a little bit more – and how they get really deep, really strong connections with business owners over a six- to twelve-month window.

In this discussion they share insights, ideas and some really valuable points about how building a stronger human connection with your existing team, with your clients, has a profound impact on the way they do business, and impacts the team and how they get engaged with what they’re doing. This applies to your firm of accountants too.

Two different types of relationship, but the insights and the points are relevant to their business and relevant, I believe, to your accountancy business too.

I hope you get value and I hope you enjoy this discussion between Liz Jackson, Andy Denny and myself on this humanisethenumbers.online podcast. If you've got any thoughts or any questions on what you hear or if you can watch the video version, please get in touch.
