The First Step in Business Growth Most Owners Miss.

April 29, 2025

Why Every Business Needs a Living Plan.

When clients ask us, "How can I grow my business?" we know it’s a big question. But it has a clear starting point.

Whether you're looking to earn more, do better, or explore new ideas for growth, the first thing you need is direction.

Start with the destination

As Adam at Carthy Accountants says in our Business Success Conversations, before anything else, we need to know where you want to go.

Business growth isn't about trying everything and seeing what sticks. It's about being intentional. And the most powerful tool for that? A business plan.

Why your business plan should be a living document

We’re not talking about a dusty file that gets written and forgotten. Your business plan should be a living document – something you revisit, tweak, and use to guide real decisions.

It puts all your ideas, goals, and targets in one place, giving you clarity and focus. It becomes the reference point for:

  • Funding and loan applications
  • Hiring decisions
  • New service launches
  • Forecasting and budgeting
  • And staying on track when the day-to-day gets busy
Business growth isn't about trying everything and seeing what sticks. It's about being intentional. Carthy Accountants in Stafford

Working backwards to move forwards

We love the analogy Adam uses: a plane leaving Heathrow for New York that's just one degree off-course ends up in Washington.

Small decisions, if misaligned, can take you far from your goals.

That’s why we start at the end. Define the goal. Then work backwards. We help you map out the micro steps it takes to get there.

What happens when you work with Carthy Accountants

When a client comes to us ready to grow, we sit down and:

  1. Understand what growth looks like for them
  2. Co-create a business plan that reflects their goals
  3. Build in regular check-ins to keep them on track

Because we believe business success isn't about working harder. It's about working smarter, with the right plan in place.

Get the Business You Want

Growth doesn't happen by chance. It happens by choice. And your first choice should be to get a clear plan. At Carthy Accountants, we'll work with you to build a business growth plan that supports your goals, your life, and your future.
