Scaling New Heights 2019

xtraCHEF is a sponsor of Scaling New Heights 2019, an internationally-renowned, in-depth training conference for accountants, bookkeepers and other small business advisors.

This year’s theme of the annual event is the “Transformative Advisor.” The meaning behind the concept of the Transformative Advisor is to go beyond being a “trusted advisor” for your clients, but instead you must be a “transformative advisor” and facilitate “active trust” with your bookkeeping clients.

Here’s how Joe Woodard, CEO of Woodard Events, puts it:

“We call active trusted advisory ‘transformation advisory,’ and we define transformation as an increase in wealth, where that wealth is often financial, but could focus on less literal forms of wealth like the company’s reputation (i.e. brand), culture, infrastructure, technology, scalability, etc. And, transformation work can also benefit the business owner directly through peace of mind, work/life harmonization, and enhanced leadership skills.

Accountants are perfectly positioned to be agents of business transformation, and businesses desperately need someone to play this role. So, we created a slate of resources to equip accountants to be transformative advisors.”
