Transform Your Firm with Accounting Practice Academy
Unlock Your Firm’s Full Potential in 5 Steps

1Evaluate Your Firm Through a New Lens
Alongside a virtual cohort of fellow owners, you’ll analyze your client list, set new goals and share valuable insights. Kick things off with a high-level snapshot of your firm and accountability with your group. (Modules 1-3)
- Find clarity from 30,000 feet—and come away confident that transformation is possible.
“The first week, it literally paid for itself.” - Bill Murphy, CPA

2Time Off ... The Catalyst for Transformation
High-performing firms create boundaries around time off. Working less forces better delegation, sharpens decision-making and boosts the bottom line… and it’s more fun! (Module 4)
- The payoff? More profit, more energy, less burnout.
“I’ve taken 8 weeks vacation this year as opposed to 2 weeks last year.” - Greg Toner, CPA

3Maximize Profitability
Using our practical, proven tools, you will optimize your firm’s pricing model, reimagine staffing strategies and eliminate low-value work to create space for growth. (Modules 5-7)
- Focus your effort on the right work with the right people.
“I keep coming back to confidence - if there’s one thing APA gave me, it was that.” - Garett Froese

4Lead With Focus
Decide which strategies will drive the greatest impact – whether it’s increasing fees, adding advisory services, niching down, pruning or scaling. (Module 8)
- Every firm is unique. Finalize your highly personalized roadmap.
“You can’t look at your business the old way anymore.” Mitch Baldridge, CPA
