UK Plc performance indicators
We have formed the Accountants' Benchmarking Club which is an association of likeminded added-value business professionals who want to continually improve the financial performance of their business clients. The Accountants' Benchmarking Club enables member firms to receive business performance indicators and key success factors for the whole range of their business clients.

The performance indicators are based upon information received from club members and national published information from a wide range of sources. The information is being constantly updated and is therefore a developing tool for the added-value business advisor. We constantly use this information on our own clients together with our Winning Company Programme products - standard meeting agendas, the price profit model, WISEcoach services, consulting tools software, the E-myth process and the 7 habits of highly effective people.

Using this tool together with the Winning Company Programme has resulted in performance improvements ranging from 10-15% in improved productivity and increases in net profit of 35-40%. The greatest impact however is in the improved morale of the whole team including partners or directors, with greater job satisfaction and soaring client satisfaction ratings.

You can join the club as a full member or apply for individual reports on your clients performance. To review a benchmarking report on the performance of UK Plc, to register as a member of the club or to request an individual report on your clients' performance, please telephone Graham Lamont on 0800 234 6978.
