Intelligent Outsourcing held a fun run event last April 28 as a celebration of iO’s 8th anniversary. What’s more meaningful is that this event aims to help protect the forest of Zambales by donating and planting tree saplings later this year. Each registrant is equivalent to 1 tree sapling which, later this year, will be planted in cooperation with the SBMA Ecology department.

Accountants do not generally use marketing strategies to grow their businesses. Most accounting professionals rely on client referrals.  They know that businesses will always need core accounting services such as bookkeeping, VAT returns, end of year accounts and payroll.  They hope that their clients will refer them to other business owners.  This can and does happen to accountants who look after their clients, but it cannot be relied upon to grow your business as you have no control over when and how often it happens. So how do you gain control over your business growth?  Business growth is not like…
