What’s holding your firm back?

Before we answer this question, it’s worth pointing out that your firm will likely already be doing plenty of things right strategically.

But what holds most firms back from working more on strategy is a sense of being overwhelmed by the essential day-to-day work of tax, accounts, audit and other related tasks, not to mention the workload arising from client emails, calls and meetings, and the pressures that come from leading a team of people, all the while ensuring that compliance requirements are being met!

Investing time and effort in good strategy can feel like a stretch too far for many firms, despite the fact that good strategy could be the way out of that sense of being snowed under.

Good strategy can and should help resolve key challenges, bring sustainable competitive advantage and instil a sense of meaning and enthusiasm for the work done by all of your stakeholders – your team, your clients, your prospects and your contacts.

Good strategy can and should also improve fees, profits and capital value growth and should lead to a reduction in stress!

Taking time out to work on and commit to your firm's strategy sets you up to reach the long-term goals you seek.
