Today’s guest is David Cristello, Founder & CEO of Jetpack Workflow, which empowers thousands of accounting firm owners to build a better firm through managing all their client work in a single, easy to use application.
He's also the host of the "Growing Your Firm" podcast, an interview series that highlights best practices and trends in team management, metrics, M&A, marketing and more.

I put a question out to my audience last week about - without downplaying the seriousness of this crisis - what are the gifts to you in this time.
And without a doubt, the single biggest gift people mentioned was time.
More time with family + kiddos,
More time to take a step back and reevaluate priorities
Take care of projects around the house
Take care of projects in your business.
So I thought now would be a good time to share this episode with David Cristello, and talk about how to design better workflows in your business.
Designing better workflows can help you
- Save time and reduce redundancy
- Create a better quality product
- More consistent product - when everyone in the office does it the same way
- Scale more easily
- Be more profitable.
These are my key takeaways from our conversation:
- Document all versions of the existing process as it currently exists, by all people
- What can we remove
- What needs editing or updating
- What needs adding
Remember:
- That designing workflows is not one-and-done. You can revisit and improve workflows over time.
- To keep it simple, and
- To include your client’s experience in the process.
