What we do

Almond Tree Associates helps professional services firms and their leaders become more successful. We focus on:

Business advisory

Client insight – tailored programmes to identify clients’ current and emerging needs which directly inform strategy, marketing, relationship management and service delivery
Strategy and change – identifying key obstacles to growth and defining strategic and operational responses to deliver success
Lateral partner hiring – rarely is this expensive activity optimised. We advise on effective strategy, implementation and supporting processes to ensure better recruitment and integration of key external talent

Senior advisor – broad-based, business advice supporting leaders to make effective decisions for enhanced business performance
Coaching – working with partners and senior executives to extend their capability and impact
‘What Next?’ – specialist coaching for senior partners to help them define and implement their legacy for the firm, and to plan their transition to life after they leave the business. This provides clear benefits to both the firm and the partner

We provide advice and support at all stages of a business cycle and particularly where:

There is insufficient understanding of clients’ perception of the business
The business is under-performing including client service delivery issues
Hiring partners to meet growth ambitions is proving challenging
New management is taking a fresh look at the business
Business leaders would benefit from advice and/or support to assist them in making sound decisions
Individual partners or senior executives need to anticipate future challenges to fulfil their potential
Senior partners are nearing retirement and both the firm and the individual would benefit from a smooth, well-planned transition
