National Technology Groups

As previous owners of technology firms we are familiar with the particular challenges owners face in sustaining and growing their business. This was a significant factor in our establishing Accountability Partners which creates private membership boards for the owners of closely-held corporations. This association allows you the opportunity to share best practices, business challenges and productivity benchmarking in a confidential setting with other owners within your industry - but without competitive issues.

 The meetings allow dialogue on the myriad of issues we can’t discuss with key managers and employees. And while our bankers, accountants and attorneys are experts in their fields, few have any experience in making the types of decisions you are faced with daily. And while our family members or significant others care deeply about, and are impacted by our decisions, seldom do they have the business acumen – or appropriate emotional distance – to assist us in the way which can most benefit our business.

Our motto, “Working on your business has never been as rewarding….or fun”, shapes our business format which includes a day and a half of intensive business meetings with a half-day of recreation with fellow owners.   We combine this opportunity of rubbing shoulders and sharpening the saw with other peers as a dynamic that will increase your personal enthusiasm and motivation - allowing you to deliver improved vision and leadership to your 0rganization.

Our meetings consist of less than 15 selectively chosen owners, allowing extensive dialogue on:

•  Financial Benchmarking via our 49 Key Metrics which allows a “deep dive” into comparable results, gleaming ideas and best practices to improve your operating results.

•  “Brainsharing” with 15 other industry owners focusing on common industry opportunities and problems. It allows you access to proven methods for addressing many of the same challenges facing your business.

•  Annual Business Plan presentations and feedback – frank analysis by a group of experienced industry business owners – people like you.

•  Allows time to work ON your business, not IN it

There are no long-term commitments. You can stop participation at any time.  We have limited openings given our "one firm per city" operating guidelines.

During the three years we were in a peer group we doubled our revenue and tripled our profits.  We could not have achieved those results on our own.  Probably the key factor was the opportunity to adopt other members successful initiatives without trial error on our part...and yes we were able to provide value by sharing the best practices of our firm.   Kelley, President, Professional Services Firm

"Quite frankly, I don't think I've ever left a meeting without a dozen good idea's to implement.  My people look to me for answers and so I come up with answers.  But it doesn't mean it is the best answer.  My peer group gives me answers that have been vetted and validated by other similar firms.  Now I can provide better direction which benefits my staff, clients and shareholders".   Tom, CEO.

"There has been more than one occasion it felt pretty "lonely at the top".  It isn't always the great job our employees think it is.  Sometimes I need encouragement and motivation myself.  Without fail when I share some of my fears and concerns there are always other members who can relate and give practical advice."  Walt, Partner.
