Small To Great is essential reading for business owners looking to maximise wealth, minimize risk and transform their small business into a great business.
As the founding directors of Chan & Naylor accounting firm, Ed Chan and David Naylor present this guidebook based on their experience as two business owners who achieved success transforming their small suburban accounting practice into one of Australia’s fastest growing financial services business. The authors detail time-saving stratagies and four key drivers for a successful business, give tips on how to maximise wealth creation by leveraging pre-tax profits, encourage business owners to protect assets and legally reduce tax and outline how to train people to do what business owners do efficiently and effectively so the boss can take a day off.

For over ten years I have the pleasure to work with and watch the Chan & Naylor business.
Chan & Naylor have always been at the forefront of innovation in terms of their approach to business and meeting the needs of their clients.
Chan & Naylor are not your traditional accounting firm, they seek out and invest in research that will deliver real benefits for their clients.
They deliver real client outcomes and don’t just count the beans. We look forward to working closely with them for the next ten years. This book is a must read for any business owner.

I have been privileged to watch Ed Chan and David Naylor grow their business from a very modest small business into a substantial and sustainable one. Both are exceptional entrepreneurs with solid financial backgrounds and both know how to use their knowledge, experience and enthusiasm in the best way possible.Through their accounting practice they have been exposed to many types of businesses and they have absorbed all this knowledge and experience from having front row seats, looking into their clients businesses. Their ideas and teachings are Best Practice!

I have had the privileged of knowing Ed and Dave for almost a decade – initially as a supplier and then as a co-business owner. Over that time I have been very fortunate to hear, observe and practice many of the strategies and tactics that Ed and Dave have employed and reveal in this book. By implementing the strategies and tactics revealed in this book I have been able to achieve greater financial success and much better outcomes than I would have achieved without adopting them – I wish that this book was available 30 years ago when I was starting out in business! I can highly recommend this book to anyone in business who wants to maximise their success and minimise their risk in the easiest possible way.

‘I would like to express my gratitude for the value, time and energy put into Small to Great. There is an abundance of information which you have put in the book which will certainly provide immeasurable benefit to our company. In particular, by utilising concepts I’ve read in other business classics such as 7 Habits, your book has provided a great framework for further reference points for guidance as I grow the company.
It has also sown the seeds for some valuable initiatives to roll out in 2012.’
