Recent business surveys have shown that businesses are actively seeking out more “growth” focussed support than ever before. Many of these businesses are typically seeking support from their accountant as their first point of call but most accountants are simply not equipped to provide the “growth” support that their clients are now seeking. The emphasis has shifted to a more proactive approach around supporting business growth. As such, there has never been a more optimal time for financial advisors of businesses to meet this need and we want to help you to do that.
Profit in Focus is delighted to offer financial advisors of businesses a new revenue stream through a white-labelled ‘growth’ service for producing Business Reality Check Report Packs across the following 4 functional areas of a business that are vital for profitable growth.
• Business Health
• Brand & Marketing Impact
• Financial Awareness
• Sales Efficiency
Every indicator takes the form of Yes/No/Maybe answer questions and typically takes a client less than 5 minutes to complete each indicator so that means less than 20 minutes of your clients time is needed overall to complete this exercise. RRP for each individual report is €139.00 + VAT on a standalone basis for reference.
Let’s look at them one at a time.

SUGGESTED APPROACHESSome suggestions include:• All new clients of yours should have a
Business Reality Check Review done when they first sign up. The 4 reports may be combined with a 60 min 1 to 1 feedback session. Suggested price point€399 to €699. This is guidance only and you are free to set the ultimate price level or even offer this for FREE as a way to WIN new business.
• Annual reviews at a minimum thereafter so that progress can be benchmarked. This helps with client retention also.
• Offer the Business Health Check for FREE (you cover the cost) and then upsell the remaining indicators.
• For seminar/workshops, include the cost of an indicator in the ticket price to get rich insights into every one attending.
• Cover the cost entirely in the knowledge that the 140 insights will mean upsell and revenue opprtunities for you and will WOW and impress your clients.
• Ultimately, we suggest that you be creative with the way you package it up. Always be focussed on the needs of your clients. We can certainly help you shape this should we work together.
