Attention Small & Medium Businesses and Accounting Firms! I WOULD LOVE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO CLOUD FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY (CFT) to your accounting clients, your small or medium business, or your employees! LOVE TO! Not like to, love to. WHEN I EDUCATE PEOPLE about cloud accounting options, it's always rewarding. For me, for you, for your business and clients. I AM FRIENDS with many great cloud programs and they are cool and fun. Granted it's fun in an accounting sort of way. Not an intro'ing people to a new craft beer kind of fun, but a "going to make your business run tickyity-boo" kind of fun. CALMWATERS (aka me) wants to help you and your company learn more about what's out there, what it can do for SMBs and how it can help your accounting clients. And then I WANT TO MAKE THE CONVERSION PROCESS for you and your business seamless and painless. I will educate all of you on how to get the most out of this great CloudFinTech. I know what programs help with all varieties of small/medium business accounting needs. I know how to implement and use these programs. And I love to impart that knowledge. CALMWATERS KNOWS THE PAIN POINTS! Of implementation, of conversion, of fear of new ways of accounting, f finding the time and energy to transition businesses, of those first few weeks of using the new programs. CALMWATERS knows the beauty and the limitations of CloudFinTech. I won't convert a file if it's not going suit a client. I will be upfront about who isn't going to have a good experience with CFT. And I will let you know who should get on with it now, like NOW. I AM THE BIGGEST ADVOCATE OF #CLOUDFINTECH (especially #TheFabFour) for SMBs! I understand each program's limitations and best fits. I will impart best practices to make the experience smooth. I know the tricks and tips. I know how these programs get along with each other and why you will love apps with accounting programs. So GET ON WITH IT. Call or email me and let's talk about CloudFinTech.

We help CPA firms by providing them payment options that their clients want via an Online Payment Portal – that was Built by CPAs for CPAs", We provide your clients the payment method of their Choice. Our options are a win for the client and win for the firm as we make sure the firm gets paid quickly. Personally: I've always thrived in opportunities that offer multi-dimensional aspects of the job in an environment that lets me be a team-oriented, passionate, hands-on coach and leader with an entrepreneurial spirit who drives and delivers exceptional results. But maintaining the status quo is not in my business DNA. I'm a manager who isn't satisfied with average. In today's highly competitive environment, evaluating existing situations and creating new approaches to promote continuous growth means being the point man for new and changing initiatives, taking a calculated risk. Business acumen and a talent for insightful analysis used to identify key sales metrics, define and measure the sales process to develop benchmarks for growth and drive the organization forward are essential qualities I bring to the table. I know the importance of cultivating beneficial business relationships and have created strong connections with partners in the CPA, financial sector, government, and Fortune 1000 companies. Providing leadership through innovation and leveraging the potential of a direct sales force, offering a competitive sales compensation structure, and attracting, developing, and retaining the best talent are essential to keeping a sharp competitive edge and positioning the company for sustained financial health and longevity. I am open to sharing ideas with successful other thought leaders. Let's Connect.

Accountants, tax pros, bookkeepers and finance consultants - in my opinion - are heroes. They can read stories from numbers and create a positive outcome. Small business owners today - be it online or offline - do not like the "numbers" side of things. They like making money though. Which leaves a gap for the business owner and an opportunity for the finance expert. The question I ask is this: "How can you help transform your clients business by going beyond the compliance work?" We all have a different skill set and outcome. For me it was with financial modelling, with you it could be different. But... it's our DUTY to add this value where we can.

Developer/Strategist/Entrepreneur delivering intentional solutions for success!

My personal mission is to help CPAs and small businesses to leverage technology for their success. Once a practicing CPA I discovered a passion for technology. After years of churning out tax returns and completing audits I discovered my Hedgehog (see Jim Collin's, Good to Great) and decided to marry my passions for the accounting industry and technology. I am honored to be recognized as an industry leader on technology topics impacting CPA's. This allows me the opportunity to be a speaker at industry conferences around the country. I embrace these opportunities to educate CPA's on a wide variety of technology topics such as, cloud computing, Microsoft updates and many other topics. During my journey I have made a number of important stops. Notably, as a member of the Maryland Association of CPA's Board of Directors and ultimately Chairman of the Board. I have also participated at a variety of levels with the American Institute of CPA's. I am a regular presenter for state and national conferences, discussing technology and leadership topics for CPAs.

Co-founder of Business Success Consulting Group, started off as a teacher actually. After finding her love for helping small-to-medium-sized business owners grow their business, she dove headfirst into consulting. For years she learned as VP at a consulting company. Then, when she was ready, in 2011 she hung out her shingle co-founding Business Success Consulting Group. Where she really focuses on inside a business is the processes and management systems of the business. This means she's looking at every process in your business from soup-to-nuts. That's whether we're talking about: business development, tax return workflow, efficiency of staff, growing pains, etc.

In this special episode of the Growing Your Firm Podcast, I discuss: How to onboard new clients to set you up for future success Steps to make sure each client doesn't become a headache later The art of setting expectations with your fresh, new client Why Having Steps to Properly Onboard New Clients is as Critical Than Ever I hammered home in Part I of this special series that before you begin scouring the city for new clients, you must have processes in place for efficiency purposes. Nothing cripples the growth of an accounting firm more than faulty processes. Remember, the worst your process is, the less clients you can take, the more staff you must hire. Loss of revenues, increase in cost. That's not what we're looking for. In Part I, I gave some tips to nail down your processes and really open up the floodgates to productivity. Now, when you're changing up your processes and (now) onboarding new clients, it's easiest to do test runs on new prospects. The reason is simple. These new clients don't know how you work, so you're not changing anything up for them. The key we do this is because: we don't want to bring in new clients into a broken system. The right processes saves a lot of time and money. One of my past guests, Stacy Kildal, was able to trim down her entire client thanks to the right processes mixed with a seamless onboarding experience. Now, she has a waitlist to work with her! She also finds clients are willing to pay more for her services. Learn more at: https://jetpackworkflow.com/growing-your-firm-onboard-new-clients/

After working in other companies and firms for 10 years I started a tax, accounting and consulting firm called Axiom CPA in 2005. The focus of that company was to help business owners identify where they want their business to go, plan strategically to get there and execute those plans on a weekly and monthly basis. We also spent a large amount of our time in traditional CPA firm services such as accounting, bookkeeping and tax preparation. In 2012 the tax and accounting firm clients were sold to another firm and Axiom Strategic Consulting narrowed its focus to strategic planning and execution. As a CPA I am more focused on the numbers than most consultants or coaches. The programs and strategies we devise with clients can always be traced to their impact on the bottom line. As a consultant my approaches and tools have been developed in the trenches alongside business owners and their teams.
