geraldine carter wants accountants to get off the treadmill of working too many hours for too little pay. her new book – down to 40 hours – will help accountants achieve the “utterly reasonable” goal of working only 40 hours a week.

carter helps accountants solve the problem of overwork with a three-pronged approach: creating value for clients, pricing effectively, and delivering services efficiently. a key to this approach is focusing on a niche. by focusing on a particular type of client, you see the patterns that help you create value for clients, “and you’re likely going to be one of the few with that expertise.” providing more value “enables you to increase your prices for the same work,” she says.

like many who start out in public accounting, vimal bava didn’t initially question the status quo of our high-stress profession where long hours and little time for self-care are the norm. part of that stress was a partner who would “chew us out” for mistakes on returns.

in 2013, jody grunden’s firm, summit virtual cfo, became one of the first financial firms in the world to go fully remote. at the same time, they narrowed their focus to creative agencies. those two changes, combined with a weekly subscription pricing model they’ve been using since 2007, resulted in a “hockey slope type ramp up.”

since then, they’ve been doubling in size every three years, reaching $10 million in revenue by 2022 while maintaining a profit margin of 10-25%. they also ditched the suits and ties back in 2004 and “decided to go against the norm…it really changed the way that people thought about accounting,” grunden says. he is the author of the best-selling building the virtual cfo firm in the cloud.

in 2006, dominique molina was overworked and burned out at her accounting firm. but instead of throwing in the towel, she drastically overhauled her firm: she pruned her client base from 300 to 30, focused on her expertise in tax planning, and shifted to value pricing.

for over a decade, jody grunden, cpa, has been doing things that many firms are just now discovering. summit virtual cfo (now part of anders) offers weekly subscription-based pricing as a fully remote firm, and their main offering is virtual cfo services or, in today’s parlance, cas 2.0 services. he’s also the one you might spot at accounting conferences in his signature tommy bahama shirts instead of a suit and tie, not quite what you might expect from the leader of a $10 million firm.

according to fogelman, a keynote speaker and one of america’s top-ranked business coaches for business success solution, “at least 57% of firm owners are undercharging for their services.” she encourages professionals to double or even triple their fees, which frees up time so they can provide client-centered services and “go back to the gym or spend more time with your family or take that much-needed vacation.”

after helping people buy and sell accounting firms for years, brannon poe realized he was sitting on a treasure trove of valuable information that could help firm owners who were “motivated to change their practices for the better.” he’s leveraged those insights into a coaching program for accountants (accounting practice academy) and several books. his latest book, prepare your cpa firm for sale, describes the process of transforming a firm into one that buyers willingly pay top dollar for.

poe recommends that firm owners start planning for an eventual sale well before they’re ready to leave. “i think the biggest mistake that i see often is they don’t do any planning,” poe says. starting the planning process three to five years ahead gives firm owners time to change things, including getting alignment on the timetable and price with other partners, which may be a tricky issue.

dawn brolin, cpa, cfe, intentionally shrank her firm, powerful accounting, from 11 to three team members, the opposite of the way most firms grow. she also drastically cut her client list, while nearly tripling her fees from a select group of just 19 clients.

“i decided i wanted to change my life,” brolin says. “i want to change my staff’s life. and i want to change the way my clients work with me where they weren’t worried about getting a bill because they called me and asked me a question.”

chase birky wanted “a better way to cpa,” so he and co-founder max fritz created dark horse – the “anti-cpa firm,” which would be “the opposite of what a client would expect of a cpa firm, of what talent expects of a cpa firm.” dark horse democratizes access to the resources, tools, and technology available to larger firms so sole practitioners and small firms have an easier path to the modern cpa firm.

dark horse was born out of the realization that small businesses were underserved by their accountants. many small business owners have “these horror stories about the large firm that deprioritizes them and charges them an arm and a leg, or the one-off practitioner or micro firm that wouldn’t return their emails or phone calls, and never provides advice, just tells them to sign on the dotted line,” birky says.

what kind of leader are you?

in 2002, my accounting career began with a job at h&r block in rural new mexico. it was my first job where it was important to be at work on time. all my previous jobs had been as research assistants in biochemistry. my schedule was flexible, and as long as i kept up with the necessary work to move the project forward, my supervisors generally didn’t care when i did the work.

what kind of leader do you want to be?

do you want to be the kind of leader people want to follow? who is honored, as julie shipp is, “to go shoulder to shoulder with you”? or the leader who relies on constant and pointless check-ins?

if you’ve never spent time at a retail tax prep office, you may not be familiar with the stampede of people who show up as soon as they get their w2s so they can get their eitc refunds as soon as possible. this office was in a low-income area, so for a few weeks in february, when the doors opened at 9 a.m., we had enough people lined up outside the door to keep us busy until noon or beyond.

when jason blumer and julie shipp joined forces to build blumer cpas more than a decade ago, they eschewed the traditional partnership structure, where decision-making power depends on ownership percentage. instead, blumer says, “we figured out the ownership is a legal reflection of the companies, but they do not reflect anything we do together in our roles.”

together, they also formed thriveal, a support community for accounting firm owners. blumer is the ceo and visionary for the firm and shipp is the coo and integrator. this separation of ownership from roles allows them both to be, as shipp says, “100% in my role and have 100% the authority of my role.”

brandon hall says that the reason accountants have such long and grueling busy seasons is that “firms try to make way too much money at tax prep.” firms don’t have enough capacity to deliver on services, so everyone – including the partners – ends up working a ton of hours.

because partner pay isn’t included in payroll, the margin on tax prep is likely much worse than the 30-35% that shows up on the income statement. hall’s target for the 2024 filing season is just 10-15% margin on tax prep.
