How to Make a Profit with a Purpose: World-Saving Accounting with James Lizars

“There doesn’t need to be a trade-off between purpose and profit.”

It isn’t often that we have preparation time for massive economic events.

Usually, they take us by surprise, forcing us to work reactively, leading to chaos.

But while net zero regulations might feel like a distant warning, it’s coming faster than you think – and accountants and bookkeepers are key players in catalysing positive change.

The good news is, getting your firm, and your clients’ businesses Net Zero ready doesn’t have to be a thankless chore; It can be a profitable service offering, setting you apart from your competitors, putting you in demand for clients in an increasing range of industries.

To show you how, we’ve joined forces with impact leader, James Lizars, to discuss how becoming a conscious, informed firm owner can boost your profits, while inspiring meaningful change in the world.

Join us on 26 November at 12:00 PM to learn:

  • How to monetize a net-zero offering using GoProposal
  • The working knowledge you must have on Net Zero to impart with clients
  • What you can do in your own practice BEFORE helping clients
  • Why it isn’t just a concern for corporate accountants; it’s a conversation that will be happening regardless of your engagement
