Series: Niche Marketing with Janel Sykora
1 CPE Credit Available
Field of Study - Communication and Marketing
If your firm’s messaging sounds like everyone else’s… guess what? You are like everyone else—at least in the eyes of your prospects.
In a crowded, compliance-heavy industry, the difference between being seen as a necessary expense vs. a trusted investment comes down to one thing: your message.
In this high-impact session, you’ll learn how to craft messaging that cuts through the noise, resonates with your ideal clients, and positions you as the expert—not a commodity. We’ll dive into why “niching down” isn’t limiting (it’s freeing), how generalists get stuck competing on price, and how to turn your new message into a client acquisition magnet.
Walk away with real tools, fresh ideas, and a framework you can use immediately to sharpen your positioning and attract better-fit clients who actually value your work.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Identify the critical role messaging plays in differentiating an accounting firm from its competition.

- Craft a powerful brand message that clearly communicates value and speaks directly to ideal clients.
- Apply your new messaging across websites, social media, proposals, and networking conversations to drive growth.
