Why Not Have Client Meetings That Clients Love?

One of the top reasons clients leave their accountants is lack of communication. 

Accounting is a trust-based business, and without regular interaction with someone at your firm, the relationship you have with your client can stagnate, or become commoditized. And all of a sudden they’re out the door.

You want to make meaningful, monthly  connections with clients. But if all you're  going to do is review past performance, you run the risk of making the client feel like they are being graded. Or worse, being scolded. Yikes! 

What's the value in that? Exactly!

That’s why we built the Strata-G Toolkits. They are a gateway to welcomed business advisory relationships. 

These Strata:G Toolkits feature pro forma P&L and integrated Cash Flow calculators for accountants, bookkeepers, or CPAs to use with clients, not for them. 

Strata-G certainly keeps the conversation moving! 

With Strata:G, just plug the business owner’s "best guesstimate" assumptions about revenue and expenses (organized by “buckets”) into one of the calculators. Those few draft inputs immediately show how much profit would be generated, and more important, what about cash flow?

This can be eye-opening for an owner! 

But be prepared! 

Immediately they will want to make changes to the inputs. “What would happen if we…?” This integrated “what if-ing" capability unleashes the real power of Strata:G. And bonds with the client!

As you know, even if it looks like there will be a profit, there may be negative cash flow looming. 

  • Strata-G reveals that in a non-threatening, non-judgmental way. 
  • And in advance, while an owner still has time to make adjustments.

These are the kinds of financial insights they need and welcome from their accountant, bookkeeper, or CPA. And the start of a valuable problem-solving relationship with that client. 

Strata-G’s financial modeling is a breakthrough for business decision-makers. 

And another great thing: with Strata:G, the numbers do the talking. No "advice" needed. That means every competent accountant, bookkeeper, or CPA can deliver CFO-level insights without veering into the dangerous territory of subjective opinions.

If you are truly interested in regular, meaningful contact with your clients, you owe it to them to look into Strata-G. And then start meeting with them regularly to focus on their future.

We'll be happy to show it to you. Just go here to schedule a Zoom session.

Or, just dive right in. Get access to all of the industry-specific Strata:G Toolkits and try it out for a month.
