  • Lead SMEs Through the Innovation Journey

    Lead SMEs Through the Innovation Journey
    Dec 9 2025

    In this episode of Accountants Minute Podcast, Peter Towers introduces Stage One of the Innovation Journey — where every breakthrough begins with a simple idea. You'll discover how accountants and bookkeepers can guide SMEs from that first spark through R&D eligibility, record-keeping, prototype development and commercial planning.

    This is your roadmap to becoming the internal auditor, advisor and strategic navigator SMEs desperately need as they innovate, experiment and build new intellectual property. If your firm wants to lead clients through real innovation (and unlock new advisory revenue along the way), this episode is your starting point.

  • Transform Into Key Strategic Partner

    Transform Into Key Strategic Partner
    Nov 26 2025

    Transforming from "tax technician" to true key strategic partner is no longer optional.

    In this episode of the Accountants Minute Podcast, Peter Towers unpacks the uncomfortable gap between what 75% of accountants think they deliver and what SMEs actually say in the Intuit QuickBooks SMB Navigator Report. You'll explore why so many firms are still seen as "transactional", how to test your own client perception with a simple three-option survey, and the practical steps to deepen Financial / Commercial / Management Accounting services so clients genuinely see you as their go-to advisor. Tune in and start shifting your firm's vote to "Key Strategic Partner".

Peter also shares practical insights on debtor management, cash flow, the innovation journey, and capital raising – and outlines how the ESS BIZTOOLS product packages (including a limited-time 75% Black Friday discount) can fast-track your road to advisory excellence.
