Zubair Mohammad ha compartido estoAccounting firms. Youre being scammed Most marketing agencies selling to accounting firms are not selling marketing. They’re selling deliverables. Websites. Posts. Reports full of numbers that don’t add up to anything. Real marketing is a growth framework. Five steps. And a website is not one of them. If an agency has ever pitched you “marketing” without asking you a single question about your ideal client, you were sold the wrong thing. Save this. Send it to a firm owner who’s been burned. #AccountingMarketing #AccountingFirms #MarketingAgency #GrowYourFirm #MarketingForAccountants

Zubair Mohammad ha compartido estoOne of the sessions at Xerocon that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. Someone built the world's first 100% AI accounting firm. Hired eleven AI colleagues. Gave them job titles. Gave them personalities. Then spent six months finding out if they could actually run a firm. I'll be honest. Part of me wanted to stand up and ask: "Did they get the marketing right though?" Because here's the thing about Xerocon this year. Every conversation was about AI. Every keynote mentioned the agentic era. JAX. XeroForce. Accountable Intelligence. The technology is genuinely impressive. I'm not dismissing any of it. But there was a message underneath all of it that I think was actually the most important thing said all week. And it wasn't about AI at all. It was this. The firms that will thrive aren't the ones who automate everything. They're the ones who use automation to free up the time to be better humans. Better advisers. Better communicators. Better at the conversation that no AI can have on your behalf. The 100% AI firm is a fascinating experiment. But the clients I've spoken to in accounting firms across the UK and UAE aren't asking for fewer humans. They're asking for more of the right humans. With more time. Paying more attention to their actual business. AI gives you that time. What you do with it is still entirely up to you. And that, as it turns out, is a marketing problem as much as a technology one. What was your biggest takeaway from Xerocon if you were there?

Zubair Mohammad ha compartido estoEvery week, someone asks me… “Why did you start Accounting Refigured ?” The answer is actually pretty simple. The finance and accounting industry across the UAE and GCC is changing at a pace we’ve never seen before. AI is reshaping how finance teams work. E-invoicing is on the horizon. Corporate Tax continues to evolve. Automation is changing the role of accountants. New technology seems to launch every week. But despite all of that change, it still feels like too many people are trying to figure it out alone. That’s why we built Accounting Refigured. Not to create another conference. But to create a place where accountants, CFOs, finance leaders, technology providers, regulators and industry experts can come together, share what’s working, ask questions and learn from each other. Because no single business has all the answers. But as a community, we’re a lot stronger. If you believe finance is changing for the better and that the best way to stay ahead is by learning from others, I hope you’ll join us on 16 September in Dubai. Let’s shape the future of finance together. 🎟️ Tickets are available now, and we’d love to see you there. #AccountingRefigured #AR26 #Finance #Accounting #CFO #FinanceTransformation #AI #EInvoicing #CorporateTax #Dubai #UAE

Zubair Mohammad ha compartido estoI got another one this morning. A direct mail letter from Capital on Tap. Beautifully printed. Professionally designed. Personalised with my name at the top. It went straight in the recycling. Along with the nineteen others I've received this year. Now look. I'm a marketer. I genuinely respect the commitment to a channel that the rest of the industry abandoned somewhere around 2015. There's something almost romantic about it. While everyone else is A/B testing subject lines and obsessing over open rates, someone is out here believing in the power of paper. I admire the conviction. I just have one question. As one marketer to another. What does the ROI look like on this? Because I've been in marketing for thirteen years. I've worked at Xero, Starling, IRIS, Dext. I've run campaigns across every channel imaginable. And I genuinely cannot figure out how you measure whether a letter that costs, what, £2, £3 to print and send? is converting into business customers. Or is the strategy just to keep going until the name recognition alone does the work? Because if so, it might actually be working. Help me understand. I genuinely want to learn.

Zubair Mohammad ha compartido estoThe World Cup is over. Spain won. England finished third. Saka got a hat-trick in a 6-4 thriller against France. Wayne Rooney is one of the greatest England footballers of all time. And his review of Madonna, BTS, Shakira and Justin Bieber performing for 27 minutes while everyone just wanted football was: "I thought it was crap." The Americans tried to give us a Super Bowl halftime show. We are a nation that queues politely, drinks tea when things go wrong, and considers a Greggs sausage roll a treat. We did not need Justin Bieber. Anyway. The World Cup is done. The summer holidays are very much kicking my ass. And it's Monday. Vamos.

Zubair Mohammad ha compartido estoThis week my content was average at best. Monday landed. Everything after that? Crickets. And I'm going to be transparent about it because I think there's something useful here. I've spent months talking about consistency and showing up and how the firms that go quiet when it gets hard are the ones who struggle. This week I posted consistently. And it still didn't work. So what happened? I got comfortable. After a run of posts that connected, I drifted back to content that felt safe. Evergreen. Considered. Technically fine. And completely forgettable. The algorithm didn't do anything wrong. My audience didn't do anything wrong. I just stopped bringing the energy that made people want to engage. This is the thing about marketing that nobody really wants to admit. Consistency is necessary. But consistency without quality is just noise. You have to keep earning the attention. Every single week. Even when the summer holidays have started. Even when you have a small person at home who has decided that 6:30am is a perfectly reasonable time to begin the day. Even when the week feels harder than it should. You still have to bring it. I didn't fully bring it this week. Next week I will. Happy Friday. Rest well. And if your content also died this week, you're not alone. See you Monday.

Zubair Mohammad ha compartido esto£200,000. Eight years. Website down 100%+ And the question an accounting firm owner asked me last week: "Can marketing ever actually work?" I've written about what I heard in that conversation, and why I think the accounting marketing industry has some serious questions to answer. It's not a comfortable read. But I think it needs saying.I spoke to an accounting firm owner last week who'd spent £200,000 on marketing over eight years. You can probably guess what happened next.I spoke to an accounting firm owner last week who'd spent £200,000 on marketing over eight years. You can probably guess what happened next.

Zubair Mohammad ha compartido estoEveryone keeps asking accountants the same question. “Are you worried AI is coming for your job?” I think we’re asking the wrong question. The real question is: Are you ready for how fast your clients are changing? Because clients don’t wake up thinking about AI. They wake up thinking: “Can someone help me grow?” “Can someone make this easier?” “Can someone tell me what’s coming next instead of what happened last quarter?” That’s the shift. The latest industry research says firms are worried about technology, changing client expectations and finding time to evolve while still delivering the day job. And honestly… I get it. Running a practice today is hard. You’re trying to serve clients, recruit people, adopt new technology, keep up with regulation, market the business, and somehow still get home before dinner. That’s exactly why we built Accounting Refigured Not to tell firms they need to “do more marketing.” Not to tell them to “use more AI.” But to create a community where accountants, bookkeepers, fintechs and industry leaders can learn from each other and navigate this change together. Because the firms that win over the next five years won’t necessarily be the biggest. They’ll be the ones that learn the fastest. The future of accounting won’t be built by one firm. It’ll be built by a community. And that’s exactly what we’re trying to create. See you there on the 16th September

Zubair Mohammad ha recomendado estoZubair Mohammad ha recomendado estoCricket delivers again! Whilst the England cricket team reaches a crossroads with a true legend of the game Ben Stokes retiring, at Old Deer Park Sports Grounds home of Richmond Cricket Club Middlesex Cricket hosted a corporate sixes event featuring teams from Saffrey, Sixes, The Blackpats (New Zealand Society) and the Middlesex Magicians. With the fast dynamic format and pros including Toby Roland-Jones, Ben Geddes, Luke Holman, Josh De Caires, Joe Cracknell and Ryan Higgins, we saw the power and ability of pros up close and personal. Sport brings people together like few other things and relationships made yesterday made lead into new partnerships and opportunities that no one can forecast! Thanks to all involved including Jonathan (Jon) Fish Gus Fraser peter fulton and co from Middlesex for putting on a great event.

Zubair Mohammad ha recomendado estoZubair Mohammad ha recomendado estoThank you to London & Partners for hosting a great couple of days in the wonderful city of Paris as part of VivaTech. No better way to spend a journey on the Eurostar than networking with so many interesting startups, founders, and other corporates, making the journey whizz by and then a couple of great events in beautiful locations as part of the week. The Paris Expo is an incredibly impressive site to showcase so many up and coming businesses, as well as some more established names. Will do again! And whilst there, even got to meet up with some prospective clients 😊 (and watch a couple of important football matches 🇫🇷 and 🏴)

Zubair Mohammad ha recomendado estoThe long awaited outcome of the Bluecrest salaried member case has been delivered. Read our thoughts and comments in the attached. #partnerships #llp #privateequity #lawfirmsZubair Mohammad ha recomendado estoThe Supreme Court's decision in HMRC v BlueCrest Capital Management LLP is a significant development for LLPs and their advisers. The judgment provides important clarification on the application of the salaried members legislation, particularly in relation to Condition A (disguised salary) and Condition B (significant influence). Firms should consider whether their remuneration structures, governance arrangements and LLP agreements continue to support the intended tax treatment of members.

Insight is not the output. It is the starting point. We are seeing more organisations invest in research, yet still struggle to translate insight into action. The issue is rarely access to data. It is how intentionally that insight is designed, embedded, and used to guide decisions. In our latest article, we explore: • Why research should shape strategy, not validate assumptions • When in house capability works and when independence matters • How to avoid the common pitfalls that limit impact At Mackman Group, this is central to how we support clients. Insight is not treated as a stage in a process, but as a discipline that underpins brand, marketing, and business strategy. Without that discipline, even the best research delivers limited value. #MarketResearch #MarketingStrategy #BusinessStrategy #CustomerInsight #BrandStrategy #B2BMarketing #Leadership #InsightDriven #Bcorp

Onboarded our first non-agency client: A Specialist Accounting Firm for Agencies. Client profile: ▪️Servicing UK/UAE agency markets ▪️Sub £1M/year ▪️Founder-led Despite being outside our typical agency vertical, this engagement was a perfect fit for 3 critical reasons: a) we understand the agency space better than anyone b) they operate exactly like an agency c) founder's ultimate goal is to be out of ops and delivery Here's a breakdown of what we're gonna "Do To Them" 😈 Generally, it doesn't differ a lot from a typical agency model. Sells retainers, structured in pods, and provide expert advisory services through human capital, etc. HERE'S HOW WE'RE SYSTEMATICALLY REBUILDING THEIR FOUNDATIONS: 1/ Offer (in their case First and Foremost) They were juggling multiple service lines across fragmented sub-ICPs: - Basic accounting & bookkeeping - Finance advisory - Fractional CFO services Being under $1M/year in rev it's an absolute nightmare to manage and scale. Too many client expectations to manage, impossible to build repeatable systems The Solution: We've completely restructured their 2026 go-to-market strategy: ✓ Eliminated 80% of offerings ✓ Singular focus: High-ticket Finance Advisory only To the founder, this feels like stepping off a cliff BUT the pain of staying where they're is bigger than the pain of change. *This phase is the most time-intensive because we never let clients go to market with an unvalidated offer. 2/ Operational Model Re-Engineering The core principle: Your offer is nothing more than a set of operational promises to your clients. Therefore, we had to fundamentally re-engineer: ✓ WHAT promises we're making (scope, deliverables, outcomes) ✓ HOW we'll consistently deliver them (the end-to-end workflow) *The E2E delivery workflow is the backbone of any professional services business. This is what you scale. Everything else (org structure, team composition, sub-processes, tools) are bolt-ons that support this core engine. 3/ Team Restructuring & Hiring Excellence Some team members simply weren't equipped for the next phase of the business. What We Are Currently Doing: ✓ Conducted comprehensive team assessment ✓ Making difficult but unanimous decisions about departures ✓ Protecting the founder from the emotional weight of poor-fit team members dragging down momentum The skill of hiring and selecting the right people is generally undervalued, that's why we SHOW how to do it. And to do it right, you need learn how to set and communicate delivery standards. Again... this is a learnable skill. "The Bigger Picture" 👀 It's too soon to talk about the results but we want to prove THAT our methodology transcends agency-specific tactics. We're systematising the fundamentals of professional services businesses: → Focused, validated offers → Scalable operational systems → Strategic talent deployment The agency playbook works anywhere humans deliver expertise for recurring revenue.
