About this listen

Are you an accountancy practice leader struggling to get your team to perform at the top of their game? It doesn't have to be that way. Author Simon Chaplin took his practice from six team members to more than 20 in less than four years. Since 2012, he has been helping accountants just like you to get the best from their teams. In Banish the Bottleneck, he helps you motivate unproductive and unengaged team members to become the (almost) perfect team you deserve.

This book will help you:

  1. Use the SOCKS-UP process, so you stop micromanaging your team and get home on time
  2. Understand the 3Qs, so every member of the team knows exactly what they are doing week in and week out
  3. Implement the Famous Five Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) every accountancy practice must measure to get a grip on its performance
  4. Cherry-pick from a further 18 fantastic KPIs to dramatically boost the profitability of your practice
  5. Use the HEFFF process when a team member is underachieving to reignite their commitment and enthusiasm for your practice
  6. Adopt the TARR Matrix to delegate almost anything and everything to your team
  7. Engage your team with fun exercises so everyone feels more connected, energized, and committed than ever before.

If you implement just a fraction of the content of this book, you'll be able to remove yourself as the bottleneck in your practice and work less, earn more, and deliver exceptional service to your customers.

A must listen for all practice accountants 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Simon is a thought leader in the new digital accountancy era and great that he is willing to share his experience with others and give some unreal hints and tips!

Already looking forward to hear him in his next book 😁

You will not regret this purchase!

Simon opens up about his business, and his life, to give a whole new realm of insight, experience and outlook to the wonderful, chaotic and challenging world that is running an accountancy practice!

You won’t regret this purchase, Simon says during the book that even if you do not intend to implement every method detailed here, you WILL still take away many snippets which will help you - I can vouch for this after reading and listening several times.

There is something refreshing about the sharing of Simon’s journey, the way he digs into the real needs of employees in order to form a successful team is different from any other method I have given time to.

Go for it! :-)

perfect for any accountant wanting to grow

While writing my own book I stopped reading anything from my industry incase it influenced my content. Now it's published I have loved learning again and Simon's book is great!! Some powerful advice to making your accountancy practice work for you rather than the other way round.

Good for managing a team

Good for managing and setting up a team with some great tips on delegation and KPIs.
I bought this really for the bottleneck removal, but there was very little about this, unless you had a team already in place.
