Overworking and undercharging?
How often do you find yourself working way more than you charged for?
If you work long hours, delegate very little, and do work that you don’t charge a proper amount for, you’re making the three mistakes that are killing most accounting businesses.
In fact, these are one of the most common problems that keep the people who come to me for help from growing. The good news is, your accounting firm doesn’t have to look like that forever.
Why I believe in you

Out of that 500M+, around 1.3M are accounting companies – just like yours – generating around US$500BN in revenue.
Having Fun Is Good for Your Business

Let Your Client Do the Work for You
What’s one of the biggest time suckers for every accountant?
Trying to solve difficult problems where there’s more guessing than actual work.
This is where clear communication with your client can help you.
In the end, why should you be doing all the guesswork, if a 5-minute phone call could save you hours of your time?
The 6 Criteria for an A-Grade Client
No accounting firm can work with just anyone. Picking the right clients can often make a difference between failure and success.
Even the biggest accounting firms out there don’t just accept everyone who knocks on their door. No matter how capable they might be, they’re not willing to work with clients who are not a good fit.
I believe this is an important lesson that all accountants need to learn.
Client communication
What typically happens first?
1) You communicate more with a client and then they pay more
