You might be asking yourself who Paul Simister is? Well, Paul is a business coach and consultant giving services to ambitious entrepreneurs, new start- ups and established SMEs. His services include financial management, business planning, marketing, sales training and process improvement. In his website www.plancs.co.uk he offers a large number of excellent, free articles.

Being a chartered accountant after graduating with a BA in Economics and Accounting from the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, Paul started reading marketing books after and then moved on to business strategy which helped fuse the contradictions involved with managing for profit to keep shareholders happy while delivering excellent value for money and customer service.

After attaining his MBA (with Distinction from the Manchester Business School) where his dissertation was titled "The Role Of The Business Advisor In Promoting A Rescue Culture For UK SMEs in Financial Difficulty" which focused on the importance of using a health check as an early warning system, his attention has been focused on small businesses where he is most interested in helping business owners differentiate their companies by making them distinctive and special.

Well, being an accountant does not mean that you have to do accounting, auditing and tax. You can do things differently.
