Beyond Compliance

The financial landscape has been dominated by compliance. Compliance is obviously important but should it be the focal point of the entrepreneurial professional advisor? I would argue that attention should be directed towards becoming more profitable, efficient, and serving clients at the highest possible level. Tony will explore this principle, and share some practical ideas to enhance the bottom line, client experience, where compliance is a by product not the primary focus.
