Why use a RAN ONE Accountant?

As a RAN ONE accounting firm, we are members of the largest independent network of
accountants in the world. Over 3,000 accounting firms have been through the RAN ONE
special training programs and there are more than 5,000 offices serving over one
million SME clients worldwide. That means we can draw not only on our own business
experience, but also on the combined years and years of experience of other members
of the RAN ONE network. It also means that you can enjoy the support of a large
global firm, but receive the focused, personalized service of an independent, local firm.

What Does Being a Ran One Accounting Firm Mean for Business Owners?
Proactively getting results is what RAN ONE Accountants are all about. Could your business
benefit from the following strengths?

We Think Differently
A RAN ONE accounting firm is an accounting firm with a difference - we are business
development consultants who can actively help you grow your business. We not only tell
you how to do that, but also work with you every step of the way to make it a reality.
We don't just look at your business just from a historical perspective, but actively
work with you to develop your business and improve it as it happens. We do that through
a variety of processes including a personalized business development program where we
work hand-in-hand with you to focus on the different aspects of your business to increase
your profits and improve your lifestyle.
 
We Focus on the Small-to-Medium Sized Business Market
The focus of the RAN ONE network is exclusively on SME enterprises, not multi-national
corporations. We are the global leaders in the SME market, with over 1 million clients,
and we plan to stay that way. And being the same sized business as most of you, we have
a high level of experience and empathy around the issues you face.

We Are Trained and Qualified Business Development Specialists
As a RAN ONE qualified accounting firm, we have invested time, effort and finances to
gain specialty training to be able to offer you more than the standard services (e.g.,
marketing strategies, customer services and administrative systems, key performance
indicators, people development, state-of-the-art software, and much more). This gives
us the ability to provide holistic solutions, for all parts of your business.

To be a qualified RAN ONE Accountant, we are required to meet an annual compliance test
to ensure our level of quality (i.e., provide assurance on a required level of professional
liability insurance, have attended a minimum level of face-to-face RAN ONE training,
satisfy standards on the use of the products, and engage in continual learning).

We Have the Support of a Global Network of Independent Practitioners
Networking amongst members is encouraged, and RAN ONE members often rely on their peers'
work with top business owners from your industry and all over the world to help them
formulate the best approach for you to achieve your goals. It also means that you, the
client, have an opportunity to connect with your own peers through the network. That
saves an inordinate amount of time and resources because you have the luxury of learning
from other people's successes, as well as mistakes, and don't have to reinvent the wheel.

We Have Access to a Wide Range of Resources, Systems and Support
Being in the RAN ONE network gives us, and consequently you the client, access to a
wealth of exclusive information and resources usually not available at other accounting
firms, including:

• A tried and tested business development process
• A wide range of business applications
• Powerful software solutions
• Video and audio training programs
• Templates, worksheets, and planners and monitoring tools
• General business development and industry-specific newsletters
• Extensive knowledge base, including industry-specific resources
• Cutting edge research
• Consulting support and regular benchmarking
