The "Dear Accountant" letter at the start was entirely repeated in the first three chapters.
"Outsourcing, outsourcing, outsourcing!" Robert has complete faith in outsourcing and argues this case fervently, which doesn't match up with my professional experiences so fae.
The tone of the book was smug and reeks of a "get rich quick" scheme. Maybe this is why it needed multiple pages of testimonials at the start and self-professed "quotable quotes" which weren't really quotable at all.
The saving grace were the last two chapters, which discussed "closing the sale" and setting personal goals. These offered interesting insights and did include ideas I hadn't considered. Having said this, the numbering was all out on the personal goal areas.
All in all, if you get your hands on this book for free, give it a read, but I wouldn't buy it.

I have reader several books with same ideas. Is not sporting anything new to me. I read it because it was a recommendation but anything else.
Is a pure sales book. It doesn’t give you tips as accountant to remain relevant. It gives tips to the business owners to get richer using the accountants. Is even challenging the accountants to look for new business but of course, with the basic salary.
Honestly, a shark.
