About Advisory Conversations with Tim Seymour and Deb Halliday
Advisory Conversations with Tim Seymour and Deb Halliday is a podcast for accounting professionals and financial coaches who are stepping into advisory and building something beyond compliance. This isn’t theory, and it’s not surface-level advice. Each episode is a real conversation between Tim and Deb, sharing their experience of moving from technician work into advisory, and what it actually takes to make that shift stick. From leading better client conversations, to developing commercial thinking, to building a team that can deliver advisory without the business owner being the bottleneck. You’ll also hear from occasional guests, including industry specialists, suppliers, and fellow professionals, offering practical insights you can apply straight away. If you’re looking to strengthen your advisory skills, build confidence in client conversations, and create a more scalable, team-led practice, this podcast will give you the perspective and direction to do it. Simple, honest, and grounded in real experience.
Your Advisory Practice Can't Grow If Everything Depends on You
What happens when every advisory conversation, every decision and every client question still depends on you?
In this episode of Advisory Conversations, Tim and Deb reflect on why they created APX Training and how practice owners can start breaking the bottleneck that holds their advisory services back.
They explore how building an advisory team, using interactive client education and developing repeatable processes can free up valuable time, create new revenue opportunities and help your team deliver more value to clients.
They also discuss a simple but important distinction: education isn't the same as advisory and understanding the difference could change how your practice operates.
If you're ready to grow your advisory services without everything resting on your shoulders, this conversation is for you.

If We Started Again, We Wouldn't Do It Alone
Knowing what we know now, what would we do differently if we were starting our accounting and bookkeeping practices again?
The answer might be simpler than you think: we wouldn’t do it alone.
In this episode of Advisory Conversations, Tim and Deb reflect on their own experiences of building practices and why they would build a team much earlier if they had the opportunity to start again.
They discuss how to plan for growth, avoid becoming the bottleneck and gradually develop your team's confidence to have more valuable conversations with clients.
And if you're already running an established practice, don't worry, it's never too late to rethink how your business operates and start building a team capable of delivering more without everything depending on you.

APX Live Implementation Cohort Q & A with guest host Lynn Graham
SPECIAL EPISODE 🎙️
What actually happens inside an APX LIVE Implementation Cohort — and what will you have built by the end of the 10 weeks?
In this special Q&A episode, guest host Lynn Graham puts the questions to APX founders Tim Seymour and Deb Halliday ahead of the final LIVE Implementation Cohort of 2026, starting on Tuesday 29th September at 12.30pm.
We talk about why we created APX in the first place, the bottleneck we kept seeing as practice owners moved into advisory, and why learning how to deliver advisory is only part of the answer.
Because at some point, advisory has to move beyond the owner.
That's where the LIVE Implementation Cohort comes in.
Lynn asks us about what happens during the 10 weeks, what we expect from those taking part and, importantly, what you'll actually implement along the way.
This isn't just another training course.
Each week we'll work together to turn what you're learning into practical processes you can use in your practice. You'll build your own SOPs, take them back to your team, start implementing them and come back the following week with accountability from us to keep things moving.
We also talk about the wider APX Mentorship that sits around the cohort — including the self-paced learning, ongoing support, Polly our AI Coach, our Business Course Library, community and WhatsApp support, and the Financial Strategies that continue the journey beyond the initial 10 weeks.
The aim?
For you to finish the cohort having done far more than simply learn about Advisory Teams.
You'll have started building one.
You'll have the processes, SOPs and foundations in place to continue developing your team and move into 2027 ready to make Advisory Teams a real focus within your practice.
Our final LIVE Implementation Cohort of 2026 starts:
📅 Tuesday 29th September 2026
⏰ 12.30pm UK time
If you've been thinking about moving advisory beyond yourself and developing your team to deliver it with you, this episode will give you a really good look at what we'll be doing together.
