Could not agree more with that statement .... trouble is a lot of businesses believe that focusing on finding additional income streams will improve the bottom line profitability ... it may do in the short term, but in the long term this policy runs the the risk of losing existing profitable clients and/or earning additional income streams from those clients. "Avoid mistake no 2" applies IMO not just to accountants, but any other professional service provider :- see :- http://www.accountantsbigmistakes.com/ Courtesy of Paul Shrimpling Hi Helen,
