Business & Executive Coach for Accountants and Tax Advisors
Accountants and tax advisors are often the unsung heroes behind the scenes, meticulously guiding small businesses through the maze of financial compliance and strategic planning. But when it comes to their own practices and growing their own business, who stands behind them offering support? They, too, need a sanctuary where they can seek guidance, a trusted, non-judgmental business and executive coach to illuminate their path as they encounter their unique set of opportunities and challenges.
Is professional business and executive coaching what you are after?
This is where the vital role of a nonjudgmental, trusted business and executive coach comes into play, offering a space for financial professionals to explore opportunities and confront challenges. In our coaching calls, we can discuss any key areas you want to focus on, including team recruitment, development, motivation, marketing strategies, and most crucially, establishing a work-life harmony. Confidentiality is a non-negotiable in these coaching partnerships, ensuring a secure environment for open discussion and strategic planning. With a vast collection of experience spanning almost four decades, including over seven years dedicated to coaching, I've collaborated with a variety of professionals navigating their own unique sectors' demands. Accountants and tax advisors juggle the challenges of client services with the operational demands of running their own practice, all whilst trying to grow their own firm.

- Career Advancement Strategies within the Financial Sector
My approach to coaching is distinct from conventional methods, offering bespoke guidance that respects the confidentiality that is so important to financial professionals. With sessions tailored to meet the unique needs of your practice, we will address common themes such as team recruitment, motivation, and the all-important work-life balance, ensuring that your firm not only succeeds but leads in the financial field of accountants and tax advisors.

Reviews from my business and executive coaching clients
Andrew Fenton. Chartered Tax Advisor
"I have been working with Jason for several months and I have found his support and ideas invaluable to me. His suggestions and mentoring have produced instant results and I am looking forward to continuing working with him. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for someone to support their business and provide genuine added value."
Peter Hill. Dominic Hill Associates Ltd. Chartered Accountants.
"Try some learning about YOU I set up Dominic Hill Chartered Accountants in 1992. I understand what it is like to be a small business because I am one. Sometimes you need someone outside your business with no pre-conceived ideas to open your mind to find out what you really want to achieve for yourself and also for your business and in that order. Once you have recognised what you want to achieve you can reset the destination in your life sat nav and set out in that direction. You shouldn’t and can’t re-set the sat nav without stopping to breath. Jason gives you the room to breath, think and then….. move Jason has been really motivating and he makes me smile. I really enjoy the meetings. I thoroughly recommend that you start with a 3 month program because like learning anything you need at least 3 sessions to really start to open your eyes. Why should learning about YOU be any different?"
Kolos Tapler. Accountant. No 1 Accountants Ltd
"I was inspired to book a business MOT with Jason as I heard other business owners say how useful it was for them. It might seem contrary to what is expected or even ironic that the owner of a firm of accountants, that look after and advise small business clients, albeit with a financial focus, would himself want a business MOT. The reality is that all of us can get ‘lonely in business’ and benefit from a fresh perspective and a safe space to explore what we really want for ourselves and our team and how we are going to achieve that. My business MOT with Jason took place over one month in which we had three meetings. I had the option to contact between meetings if I had a question, felt stuck or wanted to update Jason. Each meeting explored what is important to me and we agreed action points for which I was held accountable. I approached our first meeting with an open mind and quickly realised that Jason is very experienced in business and a great listener. I was able to explore with Jason what I really want for myself and my team and celebrate our strengths. Thinking strategically, we were also able to identify many tweaks, changes and improvements to enhance an already successful accountancy practice. I’m very much looking forward to working with Jason going forward and have already recommended several of my own clients for business coaching"
