Scale Up SMEs With Proven Advisory Essentials

In this episode of the Accountant’s Minute Podcast, Peter Towers, Founder and Managing Director of ESS BIZTOOLS, takes a deep dive into the proven advisory essentials that can help accounting firms, bookkeepers, and business advisors scale up their SME clients into stronger, more resilient businesses.

Through real-world client stories, Peter illustrates the stark difference between businesses that embrace continuous improvement and those that simply “mark time.” You’ll discover why business health checks, pricing reviews, KPI monitoring, and forward-looking cash flow forecasting are not optional extras – but critical tools for protecting and growing any business, whether they aim to expand or simply remain stable and efficient.

Peter also explores practical systems, automation opportunities, and funding strategies – from charge-out rate calculators to Crowd-Sourced Funding equity raising – that you can implement to add measurable value to your clients. With clear, actionable insights, this episode challenges you to move beyond tax returns and become the trusted advisor SMEs truly need in today’s challenging business climate.
