Legendary, iconic, well respected. And magical for everyone involved. The original Accountants BootCamp created history. Its founder was honoured with the first ‘Outstanding Contribution to the Profession’ Award. It changed (and continues to change) the lives of 17,700 accountants worldwide. That revolutionary programme created standout accounting firms, spawned numerous accounting networks and inspired a generation. In simple terms it helped accountants find out how to: unlock more time to do the work they wanted to; with the team and the clients they wanted to work with, which generated significantly more money to invest in their firms and themselves, and which created happier and more fun firms for everyone involved. In April 2023, we relaunched (or rebooted, as it were) BootCamp for the new world we now find ourselves in at Sanctuary Cove in Queensland. We had a being legacy to live up to and we did just that! Life-changing and inspiring all over again. And it’s going to be better than ever in London! Creating even more standout firms and inspiring a whole new generation. Join us at Heathrow 18-19 October 2023, Radisson Blu Heathrow! Show less
