RAN ONE
As a RAN ONE accounting firm, we are members of the largest independent network of accountants in the world, bringing over 3,000 accounting firms, and approximately 45,000 team members together with combined revenues of just over $3 billion dollars. That means we can draw not only on our own business experience, but also on the combined years and years of experience of other members of the RAN ONE network. It also means that you can enjoy the support of a large global firm, but receive the focused, personalized service of an independent, local firm.
What is RAN ONE?
RAN ONE is an international network of accounting and consulting firms with members in North America, Asia-Pacific and Europe, who focus on unique needs of the small-to-medium sized and privately owned businesses. So what does being a RAN ONE accounting firm mean for business owners?
We Think Differently
A RAN ONE accounting firm is an accounting firm with the difference — we are business development advisors who can actively help you grow your business. We not only tell you how to do that, but also work with you every step of the way to make it a reality. We don’t just look at your business from a historical perspective but actively work with you to develop your business and improve it as it happens.
We Focus on the Small-to-Medium Sized Business Market
The focus of the RAN ONE network is exclusively on SME enterprises, not multi-national corporations. We are the global leader in the SME market, with over 1 million clients, and plan to stay that way. And being the same sized business as most of you, we have a high level of experience and empathy around the issues you face.
Business development
The image below shows the business model used by RAN ONE advisors as a framework for tackling business issues. The purpose of us showing this is not to go through this in detail here, but simply to show that all of our work is based around this model . The long term key is to improve all weak areas, rather than just to focus on particular items of interest. If a business is weak in one area, that is likely to hold back performance of the entire model.
We follow a proven and effective but simple approach. We identify the problem. We identify potential solutions. We identify the preferred solution. We implement the preferred solution. We monitor the effects of the change. And if necessary we modify the preferred solution until it is producing satisfactory results.
The use of the term “we” is an integral part of this. Part of the whole process is to make your business more effective. We can do the most fantastic job on this – but it won’t make a long term difference if YOU don’t own it. So “we” means us – together. Each project may involve different people at different times – but in all cases, YOU are the key. You have to “own” the systems – not just tick the boxes. If you’re looking for a system that doesn’t involve you, then we can save you time and money – just don’t contact us. But if you really want to see your business change for the better, contact us. The least we should do is talk through your issues.
