| We start with an exploratory discussion of your revenue growth objectives and determine whether we can help you achieve them.
We discuss the optimal working relationship, which could include a growth assessment of the firm; review or development of a growth plan; or knowledge
transfer using various techniques such as advice and counsel, presentations, coaching, workshops, or strategy sessions.

Crosley is often a keynote and breakout session speaker and facilitator discussing various facets of growth.
Current topical favorites focus on managing the firm's growth, successfully launching a niche, landing large opportunities,
engaging the entire firm in revenue growth activities, and effectively cultivating new leads. Speaking engagements have
included the AICPA, accounting associations, state societies, and CPA firms, in various venues such as conferences, strategic planning
sessions, CPE offerings and other events.

Often a CPA firm may have the opportunity to grow, but not all the partners have the same vision of growth. Manifestations
include inconsistent commitment; fragmented initiatives; difficulty in sustaining collaboration; dependence on a few rainmaker partners;
a thin pipeline of leads; and finally, inefficient deployment of resources, producing disappointing results.
An outside strategic planning facilitator is valuable for business problems such as these, which includes strategic planning,
issue resolution, process development and improving a condition within the firm. A facilitated session is a highly structured meeting
where the facilitator guides the participants through a series of pre-defined steps to arrive at a result that is created, understood and
accepted by all participants. The role of the facilitator is to focus a group to gain clarity with objectives, issues, alternatives, consensus
building, and buy-in. The facilitator/leader brings the benefit of observing best practices from inside and outside the profession, introduces creative ideas,
and perceives issues and opportunities in a different way from a group who works together day in and day out. They can expand the thinking of the group. If you
are contemplating a facilitator to help you with your firm's strategic direction, Crosley's expertise in the area of growth might be a perfect fit.

Workshops are used by individual clients as well as accounting associations and state societies. CPA firms discover
that the workshop catalyzes the firm around the revenue growth initiative. Firms, accounting associations, and state societies use workshops
designed around a specific in-depth topic, such as Landing Big Fish, Successfully Launching a New Niche, or for specific audiences such as
partner groups or women CPAs.

| Coaching is offered in either individual or group formats. Each coaching series is tailored for the audience
and objectives. Typical coaching objectives would be to help win a major opportunity, get a niche going, increase lead generation,
increase business development skills, or manage the growth of the firm. Often coaching will be used to solidify application of concepts
learned in a workshop.

"Rainmaking is a team sport. With the right playbook, and players in the right positions, the firm transforms into a revenue growth environment, and the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts. Partners close more large opportunities, junior people heighten the firm's visibility, natural rainmakers generate more leads, niche sponsors firmly establish their offerings, gifted speakers get on the speaker circuit, and the revenue growth flywheel gains momentum."
