NEW RELEASE · THE DEFINITIVE ADVISORY-CAS GUIDE
True Advisor®
The Definitive Success Guide to Client Advisory Services (CAS)
THE PROBLEM THIS BOOK SOLVES
"Advisory" has been the most talked-about opportunity in accounting for a decade. And yet, for most firms, it remains exactly that... talk. This book changes that. It is the first definitive, practitioner-written guide to turning advisory from an aspiration into a structured, profitable, scalable practice.
Most firms know they should be doing more advisory work. Fewer know exactly what that means, how to price it, how to deliver it consistently, or how to stop giving it away for free. True Advisor® answers all of those questions, without the fluff, without the theory, and without the vague inspiration that fills most business books.
This is the book for the firm that is serious about advisory, not just curious about it.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF...
> You are a CPA firm partner who knows advisory revenue should be higher
> You have tried "doing advisory" and it never became a real practice
> Your team delivers incredible value that goes consistently unbilled
> You want to price with confidence, not apologize for your fees
> You are building CAS/CAAS and want the definitive playbook
> You want the framework before committing to a full engagement
> You are a vendor/partner selling CAS related solutions/services to CPA firms and want to truly
understand what Advisory-CAS really is.
