Mark C. Tibergien and Rebecca Pomering
Practice Made Perfect
The Discipline of Business Management for Financial Advisers
Bloomberg Press, 2005
What's inside?
Financial advisers want to spend their time on client needs, but to prosper they have to manage their own practices, too.
Recommendation
A well-engineered and reliable kitchen appliance, say a toaster oven or a blender, has a certain functional beauty, and so does this book. Authors Mark C. Tibergien and Rebecca Pomering specifically target and serve financial advisers who own consulting firms. Based on their decades of consulting experience, the authors offer sound advice designed to protect - or deliver - any small financial service firm from a fiscal crisis. In the course of doing so, they debunk several myths, such as the notion that you can simply sell your way out of poor financial performance, or that most small firms don’t need to borrow to pay for their operations. With an appendix chock full of helpful tools, such as a cash-flow calculator, a sample financial statement and a practice-management assessment questionnaire, this is a useful book for any small consultancy. getAbstract.com strongly recommends this book to financial advisers who know the value of good advice.
