Words of Wisdom from the Master
I have been a long-time fan of what Mark Tibergien preaches about practice management. So when I heard he and Rebecca Pomering were writing a book, I began to count down the days 'til I could get my hands on it. Let me tell you, even my expectations were exceeded. Do you remember the movie where someone said, "If you build it, they will come?" Well, if this buy this book, then new business is certain to come your way. Do yourself a favor and learn from the gurus of the financial planning world.

Insightful!
A well-engineered and reliable kitchen appliance, say a toaster oven or a blender, has a certain functional beauty, and so does this book. Authors Mark C. Tibergien and Rebecca Pomering specifically target and serve financial advisers who own consulting firms. Based on their decades of consulting experience, the authors offer sound advice designed to protect - or deliver - any small financial service firm from a fiscal crisis. In the course of doing so, they debunk several myths, such as the notion that you can simply sell your way out of poor financial performance, or that most small firms don't need to borrow to pay for their operations. With an appendix chock full of helpful tools, such as a cash-flow calculator, a sample financial statement and a practice-management assessment questionnaire, this is a useful book for any small consultancy. We strongly recommend this book to financial advisers who know the value of good advice. ... Read more
