Glendale, CA - Sterling consulting: Most accounting professionals open their practices with dreams of helping others and earning a good living while doing so. But running a practice presents its own set of management issues. Like an unpaid tax bill, the longer these issues go unaddressed, the worse they become.
Sterling’s customized consulting is designed to isolate and remove the issues which prevent you from achieving your goals for the practice. Whether you want to improve the operations and performance of your practice or take it to a whole new level, Sterling’s customized consulting provides a clear road map of how to get there.
Practice Review
Your customized program begins with a thorough review of your past and current performance figures, such as monthly production, collections, and number of new clients, and all relevant information concerning the practice and the staff.
Your senior consultant and you define your current goals, short- and long-term objectives and the issues which are hindering your practice. You and your senior consultant also examine your management skills to isolate any areas which need attention to improve your executive abilities.
Strategic Planning
With your current objectives clearly defined, and other relevant data studied, your senior consultant drafts a strategic plan with you to address the target issues in your practice. The strategic plan is the master plan for your practice. Throughout your consulting, your senior consultant drafts other plans and projects, with your input, to carry out the strategic planning.
