Adam Lean and Jeff Prager are both former accountants turned entrepreneurs who have (separately) built multiple businesses.
Several years ago, Jeff and Adam started a CFO Advisory firm that quickly became a success. It was successful because two things were happening:
One: Our clients were getting results and our retention rate was through the roof.
Two: We scaled every part of our business. Thus, we didn't own a job, we owned a machine.
You see, what set us apart from other "fractional CFO" or advisory firms was that we did three things differently:
#1. We sold a productized CFO service where we gave our clients a specific set of deliverables with an unambiguous fee structure.
#2. We spent the majority of our time helping our clients take action (rather than do what most CFOs do and just talk about numbers).
#3. We created systems for everything. Systems to get leads, systems to convert those leads to paying clients, and systems to provide a CFO Advisory service that got results.
And, so, our firm took off.
We had more business than we knew what to do with.
We perfected our systems. We perfected client acquisition. We perfected client management.
Our clients loved us. We got referrals.
And...we quickly got to capacity.
So, we had a decision to make. We could expand our CFO Advisory firm.
But, we thought, why don't we teach our methodologies to other financial professionals so they can help their clients have the same success our clients had.
Thus, The CFO Project was born.
Today, The CFO Project is a community made up of around 500 financial professionals and 20 mentors who all have one mission: to grow their practices (and careers) through offering CFO Advisory services to small businesses.
In our step-by-step mentorship program, we teach our proven systems as well as provide resources, tools, and support through trainings, Masterclasses, Roundtables, forums, a resource library, and more.
Challenge #1: To get paid more you have to take on more clients (and/or work more hours)
Challenge #2: You have a ton of competition
Challenge #3: A lot of accounting software are trying to automate your job away
Your job is to record the past correctly. However, your clients don't really care about the quality of the books as much as you think they should.
To them, you and your competitors do the same thing (which is why you really can't raise your fees).
What your business clients do care about is understanding their numbers and getting guidance on how to have a growing and more profitable business.
They want their accountant (you) to be their business advisor.
But, there's two problems with this.
Problem #1: You're not getting paid to do that.
Problem #2: You're not sure, exactly, how to do that.
You're getting paid to do compliance work. This means that to make more money you have to take on a lot of low-paying and high-demanding clients.
And, because your income is tied directly to how much you work, you have to continuously put in long hours servicing your clients while, at the same time, trying to find new clients.
This is a recipe for burnout.
Plus, even if you wanted to provide a business advisory service you don't have a scalable and efficient way to do that.
Until now...
What you need is a system. A system that will allow you provide a high-quality CFO Advisory service to your clients.
You also need support and community. You need to be surrounded by the best CFOs and business advisors that can help you build a great business.
By offering a CFO Advisory service you'll not only be able to separate yourself from your competition, you'll also be able to command higher fees, have predictable recurring revenue, and have a bigger impact on your clients' lives.
We'll show you how to do all of this in our Step-by-Step Mentorship Program
