    #239 Marketing Tactics That Actually Work

    In this episode, I break down exactly why most firm owners struggle with marketing — not because the tactics don’t work, but because the strategy is off. You’ll discover: → Why cold outreach, SEO, paid ads, and social media can all work (and why they often don’t). → The one thing you must get right before any marketing tactic will deliver ROI. → The most important ratio in your business: LTV to CAC – and how to use it to grow with confidence. → The AI-powered systems I’ve built to create content at scale and dominate one platform at a time. I also share what’s working right now in my firms – from YouTube to in-person events – and how we’re using AI meeting transcripts to turn sales calls into magnetic content. If you're serious about building a firm that grows on autopilot, without you chasing leads, this one’s for you. ----- If you’ve enjoyed my podcasts, here’s how you can get more value from me:  Free stuff  Get a free copy of my book   The Four Pillars from here Watch a short 8 min video on how you can win new clients whilst you sleep here Join 1500+ accountants owners in the Profitable Accountant Free Facebook group  My inner-circle  Join 150+ accounting firm owners in the Profitable Accountants Community (the PAC) to get access to the tools, training and tribe to help you grow your firm - without wasting time and money doing it the hard way. Join the PAC NOW!

    #236 6 Lessons I Learned In 2025

    As we wrap up the year, I’m sharing the six biggest lessons I’ve learned in 2025 – each one shaped by real challenges, growth moments and practical wins inside the firm.

    #234 My 2 Areas Of Focus This Month

    Let's be honest. Most firm owners are so busy firefighting that they never make time for the stuff that actually grows the business. I've been there too. In this episode, I share what's really been happening behind the scenes. The wins, the struggles, and the lessons I'm learning in real time. You'll discover: → Why I protect at least 2 weeks of white space in my diary every month (and what I use it for) → The real math behind paid ads, and why I've spent £10k+ without a return yet → A simple framework for diagnosing underperformance: What, How, When, Motivation → Why your best hires won't come from job boards, and what to do instead → The only two activities that actually move the needle in your firm I also get candid about some tough team conversations we've had recently. When your managers are too busy to let go of underperformers, you've got a deeper problem to solve. I share how I'm tackling it. If you ever feel like you're second-guessing yourself, tolerating average performance, or struggling to find time for the important stuff. This one will resonate. Take a listen and drop me a message on LinkedIn with your biggest takeaway. Always love hearing from you. ------- If you’ve enjoyed my podcasts, here’s how you can get more value from me:  Free stuff  Get a free copy of my book   The Four Pillars from here Watch a short 8 min video on how you can win new clients whilst you sleep here Join 1500+ accountants owners in the Profitable Accountant Free Facebook group  My inner-circle  Join 150+ accounting firm owners in the Profitable Accountants Community (the PAC) to get access to the tools, training and tribe to help you grow your firm - without wasting time and money doing it the hard way. Join the PAC NOW!
