Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stop crunching numbers and start truly serving your clients Integrative Advisory Services is the CPA, accounting professional and bookkeeper's guide to the future. As technology paves the way for increased self-reliance and DIY financial services, much of the traditional data entry tasks of accounting professionals and bookkeepers will be reduced. Yet, nothing can replace the human side of the client-advisor experience and the desire to improve your clients' businesses with financial information. Technology will continue marching on, so accounting professionals must adapt to the changing marketplace to thrive in this new paradigm. This book shows you how to provide the kind of value that technology cannot: human connection. Rather than simply reporting data, today's accounting professionals have an opportunity to take a much more active role in their clients' business by analyzing the story behind the numbers, understanding both operations and finance, and guiding the client toward the outcomes they need. Creating an ongoing relationship throughout the year allows you to be proactive rather than reactive, and help your client's business at a holistic level. Your business owner and CEO clients can get the numbers from the computer too—but, they come to you for personalized advice, explanations, and guidance based on their unique situation and financial needs. This book shows you how to take on more of an advisory role and become a critical component of your client's success. Spend less time crunching numbers and more time advising clients Become an integral part of the client's decision-making process Provide real value by clearly communicating financial data analysis Become the strategic partner your client cannot do without Cloud technology, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are not the death knell for financial advisors; in fact, they're the opposite—they do the number crunching for you, leaving you more time to provide the personal guidance that no computer could. As the financial advisory industry evolves, Integrative Advisory Services is your real-world guide to adapting and thriving.

Book excerpt: ***** SAVE WHEN YOU BUY DIRECT FROM THE PUBLISHER AT https://store.cpatrendlines.com/shop/accountaneur/ ***** Advance Praise for Accountaneur(r) "Accountants need to be more than just accountants and Hitendra creates a way for accountants to look at themselves. He calls it the Accountaneur(r). This book contains a great deal of new thought about what accountants should be doing. It is a required read for all professionals, partners, and non-partners. Leaders at accounting firms have a huge responsibility to create a business environment conducive to growth and achievement, not just at their firms, but especially for their clients. Hitendra brings a perspective that helps accounting firm leaders find answers to key questions that will lead to entrepreneurial achievement."- August J. Aquila, CEO, AQUILA Global Advisors LLC, consultant to professional service firms, author, and speaker. "What impressed me the first time I met Hitendra is his drive to help others reach their potential. This book does just that. You will learn and appreciate what an important role the accountant plays in our business and personal lives. Hitendra makes the profession come alive. If you are in the accounting profession, or thinking about it, you must read this book!"- Chester Elton, New York Times best-selling author of "The Carrot Principle," "All In," and "What Motivates Me" "Entrepreneurs create wealth and opportunities for others. Entrepreneurial accountants make it possible for entrepreneurs. Accountaneur(r) is a probing question bank for accountants who want to be entrepreneurial."- Allan D. Koltin, CPA, CEO, Koltin Consulting Group Inc. Are you an Accountaneur(r)? Think different. Taking a cue from several research studies across different professions and industries that identify traits, strengths, talents, skills, values, and beliefs, we identify the most common attitudes and beliefs of successful accountants who can be deservedly called as entrepreneurs in the true sense of the word. An Accountaneur is an entrepreneur whom, with considerable initiative and risk, organizes and manages a business that provides tax, accounting, and advisory services to solve problems for people, for profit, or, for pay, by employing productive labor and technologies. So, the difference between an Accountaneur(r) and an accountant lies in his or her traits, strengths, talents, skills, values and beliefs. There are three types of people in the professional world. Those who work for others, i.e. in a job. Those who work for themselves, i.e. who create a job for themselves. And those who create jobs for others. An Accountaneur(r) either works for him or herself or is the one who creates jobs for others in the tax and accounting profession. Are you an Accountaneur(r)? If you work for yourself or if you have created jobs for others in the tax and accounting profession, you are an entrepreneur, rather an Accountaneur. You are an Accountaneur if you chose not take up a job, but chose instead to create a business. More at http://cpatrendlines.com/author/patil
