TOP TIME MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP TIPS FOR ACCOUNTANTS.

This month :

1. LATEST Time Management Tips
2. How To Be A More Effective Manager - New External Workshop for Accountants
3. Take Control of Your Time - Time Management Training Program for Accountants

1. Top Time Management Tips

With thousands of hours working with staff of accounting firms to develop their practice management skills, Business Aptitude [www.bizaptitude.com.au] has developed a strong understanding of the issues that cause firms to lose valuable chargeable time. Our comprehensive time management training program 'TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR TIME' is specifically designed for public practice. 

In recent bulletins, I have provided some more practical time management tips that practices we recommend to our clients because we know that they work. The idea is to challenge your current approach. Just try it, even if you are not sure it will work for you. Do you want to increase your productivity by 10% of more. By doing a few things differently, you will quickly discover what is effective and what is eating into your day. If you can't find the time to do this, then you definitely need to change the way you manage your day. In this bulletin, we'll look at #8 Implement a strong screening process for phone calls and #9 The 6-step process for more effective meetings.

2. How to be a more effective manager.

An effective team and client manager is probably the most important role within an accounting firm. The effective manager should manage and reviews workflow, take responsibility for the day to day management of clients, delegate to and manages his/her team and identify opportunities for adding value to clients. The reality is that most managers do not receive formal training to supplement on-the-job learning.

Training Beyond Accounting is running its successful external one day workshop on HOW TO BE AN EFFECTIVE MANAGER in Sydney during May and June 2010. The workshop is suitable for principals, partners, practice managers, clients managers, team leaders or anyone in your firm who is involved in team or client management. 

For more information on the workshop, click here or call directly on 1300 883 789. We can also run internal workshops (within your firm) for groups of 5 or more participants.

3. Take Control of your time

Why don't general time management techniques work for accountants? That's because they are not written for accountants and do not address their specific needs. TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR TIME has been developed as a practical in-house training program that will show your team how to implement actions to maximise available time. The program runs over 10 separate modules, to allow you to conduct training and implement specific actions in your time and your pace. Already, many Australian accounting firms are using this program to significantly improve personal productivity and  team performance.
