WELCOME FROM THE BIG4.COM

Thanks for clicking the URL in my Big4.com author credit – let me give you a little background on who I am and what I do.

My name is Heather Townsend and I’m the world wide expert on how to make partner and when you get there, stay there. I am the author of 5 books, including Poised for Partnership, How to make partner and still have a life (co-authored with Jo Larbie), The Go-To Expert, and The FT Guide To Business Networking.

Professionally, I’ve been working with accountants, consultants and lawyers since 2004 now, of which five years was with a top 6 accountancy practice in the UK. My client list extends from the Big 4 down to ambitious small practice owners.

Along the way, I’ve learnt what it really takes to make partner in a Big 4 firm. So I put together everything I learnt into my free Career Kitbag for you to download. (In return for signing up for my regular tips)

In our Career Kitbag is:

  • Our short guide with 13 tips to help you rapidly progress your career within the Big 4
  • Career Action plan and other career planning documents to make sure you keep your career progression on track
  • Partnership Potential Assessment Tool to see if you have got what it takes to make partner at a Big 4 firm
  • Guide to designing and delivering presentations
  • Guide to getting the most out of your relationship with your mentor
  • and much, much more

Here is just a very small taster of what is inside:
