What does it take to grow an accountancy business from its initial two founders to 40 people in five years? Great question.

What does it take to grow an accountancy business which generates average fees per client of £30,000? Another great question.

What does it take to grow an accountancy business where the clients respect and love the work that the firm's doing for them and where its people love working?

I had the great privilege of spending an hour on a podcast discussion with Alastair Barlow, co-founder of flinder. Alastair unpacked many things, but he talked specifically about the determination to systematise the business so that it's not reliant on him and it's not reliant on his co-founder, Luke.

And standards – the power and the importance of standards and expectations – show up big time in this discussion. Last but not least, the determination to uphold those standards across the firm comes through really strongly.

I hope you take time out to listen to this profoundly valuable conversation with Alastair and that you enjoy it as much as I did.
