About The Conference

Any SME looking not just to stay alive, but also to remain relevant in these hostile times will need guidance of particular excellence. Accurate reports and good customer service skills are not enough; it’s now your duty of care to offer real guidance, real solutions and real leadership to pull your clients through. It’s Crunch Time!

"68% of businesses in the UK believe the credit crisis is going to cause a downturn in their business. Over half have no plan to deal with this."

As an Advisor, what are you going to do?


In preparation for the Conference, RAN ONE has commissioned a pioneering worldwide survey of accountants and their clients.

The results will illustrate the real condition of the Credit Crunch and its subsequent impact upon accountants and SMEs alike. The survey will be fashioned into a compelling report that will form the foundation of the Annual Conference.

By attending the RAN ONE conference you will receive a free copy of this report and we’ll teach you how to best capitalise on the contents through our usual exceptional calibre of guest speakers.

The Credit Crunch Survey

The Credit Crunch Survey is still very much in progress and we would like as many accountants as possible of all sizes to participate to ensure that it is the most relevant document of the Credit Crunch to date.

If you would like to participate, in the Credit Crunch Survey and enjoy the marketing benefits therein, please contact us at client.services.uk@ranone.com

We are looking for accountants to pass on the Credit Crunch Survey to their clients and contribute to the most important and relevant research of the Credit Crunch.

From the moment you agree to participate, the survey will start a meaningful dialogue with your clients about the matters that hurt them the most.

From the very outset you will become associated with thought-leading research and cutting edge practice. The knowledge and leads that arise from this elevated, sophisticated contact are yours to enjoy. These benefits begin immediately upon agreement to participate and, to make it as easy as possible, the administrative work will be done for you.

Opportunities like this are rare so please contact us as soon as possible to ensure that you are a part of it.
