Dynamics and rewards of outstanding client service
WITH MARK LLOYDBOTTOM
The core purpose of an accountancy business is surely to deliver outstanding client service so that clients keep returning year on year. Firms value clients who come back year after year, are happy to buy our non-compliance advisory services and also ready and willing to recommend your firm to others.
In so doing one of the really important outcomes of delivering outstanding client service is that profitability increases. The great benefit is that delivering outstanding client service does not costs - in fact it pays really big dividends.
Who is this course for?
Making an impact
All accountancy firm owners, future owners and all other team members
Hello, I'm Mark Lloydbottom. Here's how I can help you
I grew my own accountancy business from a standing start to over 55 staff and partners in 10 years.
There were no courses on how to manage an accountancy business, so I decided that I would study management in order to know what to do and how to do it well.
In growing my three businesses I have learnt a lot about what works and what doesn’t. I have enhanced this knowledge by lecturing accountants worldwide and consulted with firms of all sizes.
I know that managing an accountancy business is not easy. I learnt very quickly how massively important service commitment is to clients. I knew it was essential to always exceed client expectations and to consistently and strategically over deliver.
I learnt to consistently deliver a timely service and in so doing have clients enthusiastic and loyal.

What others have to say
"The South African Institute of Chartered Accountants engaged Mark to lead a number of our annual Practice Management Conferences and a number of workshops on practice management. Mark’s enthusiastic, honest and insightful presentations were extremely well received by our members who rated his knowledge of the subject, presentation style and audience interaction a staggering 95 per cent! I believe that based purely on his seminar, firms could increase their net income per partner by 6 to15 per cent. It is always a pleasure working with Mark, and I recommend him to any practice, accounting association or Institute that is looking to hear a speaker who I can assure you will bring insight and wisdom to any conference."
