When used with Verifi Identity Manager, the P3400 becomes the hardware

Building Tomorrow's Practice Elements for Success
Two Day Seminar - June 4th and 5th, 2008 Four Points Sheraton, Toronto Airport West
The "Building Tomorrow's Practice"
workshop will transform your view of what is possible in your practice. With a
different perspective on a service you already provide, we will show you
how to earn more money in fewer hours, engage in more rewarding work, and
easily attract clients who value and pay well for what you bring. The simple
truth is that while our profession has changed dramatically, most accountants
continue to practice in the same way. As a result, we are missing a significant
opportunity that is right under our noses.
What is this "different perspective"?
If you are like most accountants, you
already advise clients. The problem is, most of us give away or get paid very
little for our most valuable knowledge and experience. We will show how you how
to add structure and process around your advice to earn larger fees, often well
beyond hours worked.
This workshop is filled with practical
information and actions you can immediately begin to apply. You will benefit
from the collective wisdom of hundreds of firms, from sole practitioners to
large regional firms who are enjoying the rewards of this approach. This
workshop will re-energize your practice. Applying just some of what you gain
from this workshop will help you organically evolve towards a more lucrative
and rewarding practice.
Presented by: Rick Solomon, CPA.
Rick's unique, no-nonsense to practice development has
helped thousand of accountants around the world add millions of dollars to
their practices, and increase their enjoyment as well. Rick is the CEO and President of RAN ONE Americas (www.ranone.com)
