Summit Season is a wrap!

Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and one online. Four sessions, and the same thing in every one: firm owners and their teams putting their hands up. Sharing what’s working and saying out loud what isn’t.

That’s the Slipstream community and that’s what we love about these rooms. Nobody comes to watch. Everyone contributes, and everyone leaves with something they didn’t walk in with.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, in the room and online, and to our guest hosts for sharing so generously.

We can’t wait to see what you do with it. Bring on 2027.

Summit Season is officially underway. 📣
We kicked it off in Brisbane yesterday at the The Westin Brisbane.
100 accounting and financial advice leaders in one room, working through the theme of Executing in Uncertainty. A full day of honest conversation, big questions and some very full whiteboards.

Thank you to our guest hosts, HK Partners, Finconnect Advisory Group and Macquarie, for sharing your time and your experience so generously.

And thank you to every firm who gave up a Thursday to step back from the day-to-day and work on the bigger picture. Rooms like that don’t happen without people like you.

Sydney and Melbourne are coming up over the next few weeks. Bring your hardest question. 🎯

Just over a month ago, we ran two Breakaway workshops in Brisbane and Melbourne.

50 people. 20 firms.
Two days of intensive business planning.

Here’s what they left with:
1. A one-page business plan on paper.
2. Leadership teams on the same page.
3. The plan broken into projects with timelines, and a 90-day plan to start.
4. New personal goals alongside the business ones.

Most business owners know there are things in their business that could be better.
The harder part is deciding what matters most, what to do first, and what can wait.

Breakaway is back in Melbourne on 19 and 20 November. Our last one for the year.

10 firms. Over 50 people. One room in the heart of Brisbane, deciding what the next 12 months of their business looks like.

This is Breakaway, our two-day intensive Business Planning Workshop.

Yesterday was the foundation work: values, beliefs, behaviours, purpose. The stuff most business plans skip straight past. Then long-term objectives, SWOT, strategies, and by the end of the day, everyone wrestling with their BHAG (if you know, you know).

After a lovely network dinner at the Amora Hotel Brisbane, we are back at it this morning for Day 2, turning all of that into a real plan. Specifics. Numbers. Who's doing what, by when.

Two days of planning can eliminate years of going nowhere.

"Every level of growth requires a different version of leadership."

That's one of the themes we explored over the past two weeks as we gathered with our clients across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

We spent the day looking at what's driving performance inside firms today. Leadership. Accountability. Profitability. Productivity. AI. The numbers that matter. And what the highest-performing firms are doing differently.

• The presentations challenged thinking.
• The benchmarking sparked conversations.
• The discussions in the room added context, experience and real-world examples.

Together, they helped turn ideas into action.

What stood out most was the willingness of firm owners and leaders to openly share both their wins and their challenges. Record months. Profit growth. Leadership transitions. Team development. Succession planning. The kinds of conversations that help everyone move forward.

To our clients: thank you for showing up, contributing generously and continuing to raise the standard. The quality of this community is what makes these events so valuable.

The ideas are important. The conversations are powerful.
But ultimately, results come from what happens next.

Every year, we work alongside hundreds of accounting and financial planning firms.

Some dramatically improve profitability.

Some create capacity without adding more people.

Some double their average client fees.

Others build leadership teams that allow the business to thrive without relying on the owner.

So what actually created those results?

Join Sharon McClafferty for a practical 60-minute webinar where she'll unpack the projects, decisions and behaviours behind some of the biggest breakthroughs we've seen over the past 12 months.

You'll walk away with:
• The initiatives delivering the biggest commercial impact
• Benchmarking insights from hundreds of firms
• Real client case studies
• Practical ideas you can implement immediately
• A simple framework to help you identify your next breakthrough

If you own an accounting or financial planning firm, this session is for you.

Congratulations to Renee Cooper and the team at Indepth Accounting on being recognised as Regional/Suburban Firm of the Year at the Australian Accounting Awards 2026. 🏆

Recognition like this is never the result of a single moment. It's the outcome of years of leadership, commitment to clients, investment in people and consistently making good decisions.

We're proud to work alongside Renee and the InDepth team and couldn't be happier to see their efforts recognised on a national stage.

Well deserved. 👏

We often see firms comparing themselves to others.
But the problem is you’re not even playing the same game.

You might both be accounting firms,
but you’re operating at different levels
with completely different rules.
And when you compare across levels,
you end up chasing the wrong outcomes.

What we’ve learned over the last 10+ years is simple:
1. What “good” looks like changes as you scale
2. The behaviours that work at one level don’t necessarily work at the next.

So before trying to improve performance, it’s worth asking:
Am I comparing myself to the right benchmark?

What happens when you fill a room with firm owners who are done talking about the plan?

They finish it.

That’s what happened last week at the Sydney Breakaway.
Here is what that looked like:
→ One-page plans completed
→ Leadership teams aligned on direction
→ Clear projects locked in and ready to launch
→ Owners walking out knowing exactly what the next 12 months look like

“If you are serious about improving your business and personal life, you can’t afford to not do this workshop!”
— Cameron Brown, Mainstay Business Advisory

Two days. Real decisions. A plan you don’t need to revisit - just implement.

Next workshops:
📍 Brisbane — 27 & 28 August 2026
📍 Melbourne — 3 & 4 September 2026

If you’ve been thinking about it… this is your sign.

You can’t “efficient” your way out of a broken business model.
This came up in a session with our coaching team this week.

When firms feel stretched, the default is to chase efficiency.
Better systems.
More tools.
Tighter processes.

But that’s rarely the real issue.

There are usually three reasons you don’t have enough time:
→ your price is too low
→ your work takes too long
→ you can’t say no to the wrong clients

Low. Slow. No.
Until those are addressed, efficiency won’t fix it.
It just helps you run in the wrong direction… faster.

Once you have....
→ ideal clients
→ at the right price
→ with the right people in the right seats

Let’s talk efficiency. Until then... you’re just optimising the problem.
