Course Feedback

Thanks for this; it was a good course and has definitely provided some insights and direction for the next stage and scope of our vCFO services.

Overall I found the course very useful even thought it was generally aimed more at people moving from compliance to advisory rather than someone who has been in it for 30 + years. That said, it is good to go back to basics sometimes and see what’s changed and have your thoughts challenged. Got the most value out of the last 3 sections which included some great information. Also great support material to take away and refer to.

This has been a really great course, both informative and practical

This is a good course for an accountancy firm to get started trying to offer vCFO services.

I have really enjoyed this course. It has enabled me to think about my role within the firm in a different way, as someone who is capable of implementing changes instead of just processing tasks. I have become more proactive in my thinking and now able to challenge myself in my role but also able to challenge my manager and the firm.

This course provided everything we were looking to get out of it for not only our Administration team, but also for our technical team. It was very eye-opening as to what we needed to improve as a firm and I will highly recommend this course to anyone thinking of participating.

This course was not only valuable to the administrative team, but helped the whole firm in developing systems and processes to really manage client relationships and workflow in a proactive way. The SMART actions are a great way to convert theory into practice. Thanks for a great course.

The course was very helpful to me as I learnt a lot about how to become an effective administration services manager. At first it took me a while to finish this course due to the workloads and commitments but while on the process of learning and doing the course I also learn to manage my time and able to accomplish whats needs to be done. Its a very good example of time management. I have now implementing and taking steps of all the things I learned in this course. I would recommend this course to our future admin staff as it is very helpful.

This course has given us a lot of discussion points. It allowed us all to see what we are doing differently and become a more cohesive team. It had many different ideas we hadn’t thought about and allowed us to think outside of the box. We also were able to spend the time together and it enhanced our team relationship. Thank you.

Fantastic course and in depth. The power point slides and source documents were great. It showed how much we already do where I work and in my role. It made me think a lot of what it is I actually do do all day

I found this course to be very informative and in depth it allowed me to consider my involvement in the firm as an admin team member. It provided me with the opportunity to think about things from a larger scale. I ENJOYED THIS COURSE.

.I really enjoyed the course and found the presentations interesting and inciteful. The topics were all very relevant and was great to learn about how the CSA can contribute more to the technical team. Overall a great course!

Fantastic course. You focused on the soft skills which many of us would have simply brushed off as unimportant or “core” to the necessary skill sets / job scope of a traditional accountant. As we gravitate further away from traditional roles, this course has helped me profoundly in identifying possible futures and opportunities in this role.

This course is simply great! The presentation and slides are straightforward for us to understand, but meanwhile it’s highlight things that’s important for us accountants to add value to our client, to our firm and to ourselves. As an accountant who’s been in the industry for 5 years, I still learnt quite a lot from this course. I can imagine how beneficial this is going to be for those who just started their career.

When I first enrolled in this course, I was sceptical, after all what could I learn after already working in public practice for 4 years? I was wrong – this is the most beneficial course I have completed since deciding back in year 12 that I wanted to be an accountant (even more so than my degree or CPA)! It teaches you so many of the basic skills required to operate as efficiently as possible and encourages you to think in new ways and approach difficult situations from a new angle. 

A great course that I would recommend others to do. It has worked really well being able to apply/relate it to my firm.

This was a great course for accountants starting out or even up to manager level. It makes you rethink current and new methods of how things can be done more efficiently for client work and administratively.

I enjoyed the course and found it well constructed and well presented. I have taken a lot out of this course to apply to my relationships with clients and there are very similar circumstances with conversations with managers. 

I have really enjoyed this course, particularly the layout and content. It has been very easy to navigate and the content has been engaging. Overall a great course and I will be exploring the other courses available.

Fabulous course, very enlightening. It all seems just like common sense however going through each of the modules it really puts in place procedures that all interlink for the coaching experiences and approaches that should be used..

Great value in showing how I can give my team responsibility for their role. The 9 coaching questions are invaluable in encouraging my team to come up with solutions and implement them directly. 

Team coaching is one of the most overlooked skills of a manager. This course showed me how I can work with my team members to get jobs completed and invoiced in a timely manner. It’s also great for team members to understand that they have responsibility for work delegated.

This course has provided such a wealth of information that will be useful for many years to come. I have implemented many workflow and advisory practices mentioned in this course and have seen results for the business and for me individually. I always thought I would prefer the compliance manager role, however this course has provided me with a desire to move into a more advisory focus. This course has provided me with the confidence to have in depth discussions with clients and has provided me with the tools to grow and develop both professional and personally.  I am blown away by the amount of information provided and am really glad I under took this course. 

I feel the course raises key points and self reflection for accountants waiting to take the leap to the advisory role. Good course and definitely recommended

This course really made me think outside the square and challenged my thinking in a variety of ways. I have learned so much and have thoroughly enjoyed every part of it.

I have found this course to be terrific to undertake. It has helped me greatly and there is a lot of work to be done next year. Thank you for all your assistance. I would rate this course 10/10.

This course has helped me improve compliance workflow and understanding my roles and responsibilities as a manager. Thank you Dale for all your support.

The course provides a relevant and practical approach to the steps to take to become proactive mangers in the workplace. This starts with evaluating ourselves to highlight those areas of weakness that we can then look to improve with development. It also provides the procedures to build a team at an accounting practice and the tools to manage and evaluate that team. It also highlights the steps required to offer advisory services and the ways to introduce them to your clients.

Very helpful for someone starting out in Marketing, and the support from Dale has been top-notch.

This course has been really good, thanks.

This has been just the thing I need to get myself more organised and actually set up a more streamlined firm. I had tried in the past however a lot was still in my brain which needs to come out and onto paper/computer.

Very interesting content, the information provided has been a great help in engaging clients and all aspects of their business.
