Phil and Ollie host their last ever episode of #PracticeEvolution, as the first series of Practice Evolution draws to a close. The pair take a fond look back at the various guest speakers and ground covered on the show. We remember the highs, the lows, the live sessions at Accountex 2023, our favourite guests, and pay tribute to the much missed John Stokdyk.

Phil and Ollie also finally reveal their own fun facts, having grilled so many guests for theirs!

Phil and Ollie meet video content expert Leigh Stallard in this episode, who’s seen the accountancy sector from every angle. In practice, big software provider, smaller software provider – you name it.

They cover how accountants can get started with video, telling the story of your practice, sharing your opinions on big industry developments, and even getting your clients involved. Leigh also tells us about his freelance venture with Nomad Video.

Of all social media platforms, LinkedIn provides possibly the greatest opportunity for accountants to grow their practice. LinkedIn coach Ashley Leeds (also known as the “15-minute guy”) joins Phil and Ollie on this episode to talk about the dos and don’ts of LinkedIn, and how you can join the 1% of LinkedIn users that regularly create content.

You'll also hear tips about how to build your confidence in writing posts and filming videos. Plus, the sweetest fun fact that any Practice Evolution guest has ever shared about themselves!

(This episode was recorded before Phil and Ashley’s panel at Accountex Manchester on 19 September 2023.)

Back in May 2023 we hosted two days of LIVE talks with some amazing guests at the Uk's largest accountancy show - Accountex. 

Ep #12: Needle In Tech Stack with guests Julie Sinsbury (Moore South) & John Toon (Beaver & Struthers)

Note: This was recorded at that event, hence why the sound is different to usual!
