About

Am I in the right place?     What’s in this for me?     Can this person solve my problem?

Hi! I’m Rod Burkert. And if you got past my home page, those are the questions I’d be asking. Here is my answer … the result people get from working with me:

I help BVFLS professionals create more “margin” in their practices so that they can create the life experiences that matter most to them and their families. What’s margin? It’s their combination of time, money, and freedom to make the magic happen.

And I practice what I preach: since March 2010, I’ve created the time, money, and freedom to travel full time in an RV throughout the United States and Canada with my wife and our two dogs because that is the experience that matters most to me.

Now I realize that living in an RV is not everyone’s cup of tea. And that’s ok. But I know that everyone has their version of their cup of tea. I also know the cup is right in front of you … you just have to see it … and grab it.

So …

If you are looking for COACHING and have a passion for being creative and working differently …

If you are looking for TRAINING and want programs that will improve your marketing and positioning skills …

If you are looking for CONSULTING and need feedback on reports you’ve prepared or help with complex valuation projects …

Then this is the place for you.

And I am the person you should be working with because I am the only practice development coach serving only the BVFLS profession.


The Nitty Gritty

I founded Burkert Valuation Advisors, LLC in July 2000. I’ve reinvented my firm several times since then, ultimately building a location independent consulting practice by leveraging my professional network, using social media, exploiting technology, and studying buyers of our professional services.

If you an entrepreneurially-oriented BVFLS professional looking to do remarkable things in your practice and with your life, I can help you dramatically close the gap between where you are now and where you want to be one year from now.


Why It Matters

When you strip away the hoopla – finding the work, pricing the work, doing the work – we all want our professional practices to provide a sense of purpose, satisfaction, and freedom. If you had the chance for a do-over, the ability to redesign your practice today, what would it look like?

Well, stop imagining and let’s start working together. People are talking about it, and some of it is actually good! Picture yourself being part of this community:

I’ve found your coaching to be much more valuable than I expected when I signed up, and I appreciate the personal interest you have shown in my particular situation. Thank you very, very much.

Let’s stay in touch. Get my newsletter. It’s my best work … delivered twice a month..

What would it be like to sit down and talk over coffee with your trusted advisor … whose goal, every week, is to give you actionable ideas that move you forward? Well, it would be a LOT like my newsletter.

Learn how to best add value to your practice. Sign up and I will send you my File Autopsy Toolkit.

This toolkit will reveal the work you like doing, the clients you enjoy serving, and alternative ways for pricing your services.

But just as importantly, you’ll also understand the work you don’t like, the clients you don’t want, and the pricing mistakes you don’t need.

I have read every one of Rod’s newsletters. It is the only one that I receive and am sure to read every time. Looking forward to many more!

– Carli Lehr, CPA, CVA, CSEP

I usually do not read newsletters, but I always read Rod’s – ever since he started it. His thoughts on the state of the BV profession are refreshing and original. His marketing ideas are definitely worth considering, and I have applied several of them with great success.
