Thanks Martin – I actually already have PACE listed in the general category as I believe they are equally as good for lawyers and other professionals as you say. I particularly recommend their “Growing Your Client Base” and have it listed on “Core Rainmaker Reading” on http://www.rainmaker-resources.com

Try the PACE Partners. Three great books and and a website full of great articles. They specialise in helping accountants and other professional service firms to grow.

You’re right Ric – I get loads of results pointing at you when I search now. But for some reason when I had a look around after Peter’s post I couldn’t find you. Maybe I was spelling it wrongly or something – it’s a bit wierd as I’m normally a very good googler – but you’re there clear as day.

Thanks Ric. I had a quick google for your name when Peter mentioned it, but couldn’t find your site. I will now add it in.

Thanks for popping by Rob – I’ve just added a link to your site.

Perhaps “SEO for Consultants who specialise in Accountants” would be a good niche for an SEO expert given my difficulty in finding anyone.

it seems my website needs upgrading so that you can find me easily. Must fix that. I am the leading authority and consultant to Accounting firms. I help Accounting firms improve their financial position. My clients on average grow their profits by 57% in year one of working with me and sometimes double or more.

I am also the organiser of the event Alan Weiss is speaking at in Australia in October.

Oh come on Alan, you’re ruining my theory now! You were the only big name I had in my “specialises in consultants” box – and now you’re working for accountants and financial adviors.

Peter – thanks for the poitner to Ric – I’ll check out his stuff.

Ric Willmot from Australia does.
He works in New Zealand and Dubai as well with accountants.
He does more than accountants, but my understanding is he does the majority of his work in that market.
