Mike Platt Inside Public Accounting, USA All professional services' firms struggle with similar challenges, none more so than how to drive better profit margin in an increasingly competitive market. Mark's Double Your Income provides a step-by-step guide on how accountancy firms can do exactly that, drawing upon his years of extensive experience. There is much to take away from each chapter, with the recommendations suggested being pragmatic and able to be easily implemented regardless of firm size. Topics are well balanced, focused on not only internal action but also as importantly how this drives more effective client engagement. As someone reading this book from outside the accounting profession, but with experience in both consulting and legal firms, many of the points outlined above can be as easily applied within these organisations. This book will become a very valuable addition to an accounting practitioner's professional toolkit. Stuart J.T. Dodds Baker & McKenzie, Author of 'Smarter Pricing, Smarter Profit' I defy any accountancy practitioner not to get significant value from this book. It's easy to read, packed full of insights into the profession from Mark's 6 decades working with firms and the actions flow freely from each chapter. Without waffle or pontification and with unswerving clarity, Mark makes the case for running a practice proactively and getting paid properly for the value accountants give to their clients."
