Tim Seymour is joined by Deb Halliday and Jason Withers to unpack a harsh truth: most management accounts are built for compliance, not clients. They're full of jargon, backward-looking, and fail to help business owners make smart decisions.

In this episode, we explore why traditional reports often confuse more than clarify - and what accountants and bookkeepers can do to change that. The conversation dives into how shifting from compliance to advisory work, and adopting Profit First, can radically improve the client experience, boost understanding, and drive better financial outcomes.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why clients struggle with traditional management reports

✅ How the Profit First method simplifies financial decision-making

✅ Real examples of how advisory work increases client income

✅ What it looks like to become a forward-focused, client-first advisor

Whether you're already on the Profit First journey or just starting to explore, this episode offers clarity and inspiration on delivering real value to your clients.
