This week Adam Hale (@adam_hale_design), branding expert and Director of Visual Design at Enlisted in Salt Lake City, explains what he hears when a brand says they want to be the Apple of something and how to interpret that request. He speaks to the importance of research and strategy when developing a brand, and how you need to articulate your design choices through the problem and solution instead of font and color choices. We discuss the differences between an Ad Agency and Design Boutique in terms of wide vs deep experience, while bringing to light the challenges of working for a tech startup. Lastly, Adam talks about his first portfolio and how a good concept project needs to be based in reality in order to be taken seriously.

Today’s guest is Adam Hale, Co-Founder and COO of Summit CPA Group.  Summit CPA Group is the leading provider of Virtual CFO Services in North America.  Summit CPA offers virtual CFO, Controller, and transaction-level services remotely and at scale. And Adam works with his team to deliver the best possible vCFO services to their clients. I wanted to have Adam on to dig into the art and science of pricing and delivery of these services, so that you can learn his hard-earned secrets so you serve your clients better and at a higher level.  What stood out to me in this episode was the idea that they decidedly want clients in Controller and vCFO, and don’t want clients at the transaction level.  After all, transaction is labor and time-intensive, while excellent guidance can happen in a short amount of time and add far more value to the client.  Listeners, if you want help building Controller and vCFO level services to your practice but haven’t been able to figure out how on your own,  so that you can get your practice to the next level, from 150 clients down to 15, with $60K or $100K annual engagements, I can help you make that transformation.  Put 15 minutes on my calendar - just go to shethinksbigcoaching.com and click on the big fat red Schedule Time with Me button.  Connect with Adam: Website: https://www.summitcpa.net/ Download ebook “6 Simple Steps to Double Your Revenue” https://shethinksbigcoaching.com/download-double-your-revenue Schedule time with me: https://calendly.com/geraldinecarter/15min Work with Geraldine: Strategy Session https://shethinksbigcoaching.com/strategy-session/ 1:1 Coaching https://shethinksbigcoaching.com/business-coaching/ VIP Day https://shethinksbigcoaching.com/vip-day/
