"Going to work is a pleasure now"

Steven Pitchford of Delegate Accountancy explains how AVN membership has changed his practice. With better work/life balance, better fees and a sense of being in control of what he does, Steven and his team are excited about the future. “We’re motivated to have conversations with clients because there’s more for us to offer.”

Building the confidence to move forward

Philip Harris recently started his journey with AVN and he’s been blown away by the support he’s had. He explains how drawing on the experience of the AVN team and other AVN members has helped to build his confidence in making change happen – “I can do this!”

“Join as soon as humanly possible.”

When Gareth Westwood set out to build his accountancy practice he thought he knew best – but he found he was digging an ever bigger hole for himself. Joining AVN and the support he’s had from his business coach and other members has made all the difference.

"I used to spend 80% of my time on my most demanding clients"

Steven Pitchford of Delegate Accountancy explains how grading his clients and using the AVN pricing tools means he now has time to really listen and understand what his clients need.

“I’ve regained the enthusiasm I had when I started my business."

After 26 years in practice, Herschel Santineer was unhappy, frustrated and ready to quit. He was doing the wrong type of work and charging the wrong fees. He explains how AVN’s support helped him regain his enthusiasm and give his practice a whole new impetus.

Explaining the value and charging a premium:

AVN Member Christopher Darby from Dab Hand Accounting shares his journey so far.  From struggling to price his services profitably and delivering the basic services to now value pricing his services and delivering added value services to clients.  He shares the processes he’s learned along the way and the approach he take with clients when they challenge him on price meaning that rather than crash the price, they understand the value and are happy to pay the price.
