six steps to take.
by jody padar
radical pricing – by the radical cpa
the accounting profession will never resemble an automotive production line, perhaps for no other reason than we don’t look good in steel-toed boots. we’ll never be widget producers and, from my viewpoint, that’s a good thing. however, our position among the professional class shouldn’t blind us to the benefits of standardizing many of our services.
exclusively for pro members. log in here or 2022世界杯足球排名 today.anyone who has been an accountant for any length of time has certainly seen enough to eliminate the need to reinvent the wheel every time they start a new engagement. an entire firm has even more institutional knowledge to draw from. you can develop reliable and repeatable recipes for different services and deliverables by capturing this institutional knowledge. this is standardization, and it makes your service offerings more efficient, cheaper, consistent and predictable – all good business practices. you’ll be able to predict with better accuracy the time frames required for new projects, and you’ll be able to scope out exactly what will be required to bring the project to a successful conclusion. read more →

key performance indicators (kpis) are shortcuts and tools to give managers a quick grasp of essential activities enabling greater control. whether a manager runs a business, not-for-profit, governmental unit, department or a small group, kpis can help the manager be more effective, achieve goals and better serve customers, stakeholders or others relying on the organization.
exclusively for pro members. log in here or 2022世界杯足球排名 today.managers need to develop the kpis that will help them the most. this development should be based on what they are doing now (with some tweaking) so they get four or five numbers daily that will not take more than three minutes to absorb, assess and activate changes, if necessary. transparency and sharing the kpis will also draw team members into the process.

“you see, really and truly, apart from the things anyone can pick up, such as dressing and the proper way of speaking and so on, the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated. i shall always be a flower girl to professor higgins because he always treats me as a flower girl. but i know i can be a lady to you, colonel pickering, because you always treat me as a lady and always will.” – eliza doolittle in “my fair lady”

the disruptors
with liz farr
yuri kapilovich didn’t set out to become #thefuncpa. it started as a casual hashtag when he shared photos from buses and bikes, but it stuck—especially after a networking event where attendees misread his booth sign and started calling him “the funk pa.” the nickname became a brand, but it also reflects his deeper mission: bringing humanity and humor back to a profession that’s burning out its best talent.

kapilovich, founder of kapilovich & associates, believes the root of accounting’s talent shortage is simple: misplaced priorities. “we, as a profession—especially in the larger firms—have lost sight of the fact that the number one asset we have is our people,” he says. “it’s not the clients.”
how are you assessing your team?

transforming audit for the future
i’m fortunate to have two great former auditors working with me in accountability plus – my son tyler anderson and corey schmidt, who met working together as auditors. but that firm – like most firms – was focused on total hours worked and realization rates, and had no tracks for auditors who didn’t fit in the normal staff to senior to supervisor to manager to partner progression.

as corey told me, “tyler and i were good with workflow management and managing processes, and that’s what our firm should have had us focus on.” corey demonstrated that when he was assigned the employee benefit plan practice at that firm, and through his leadership, improved fee realization from 60 percent to 100 percent.

an estimated 10 to 12 million boomer-owned businesses are expected to transition over the next decade. that’s a massive wave of planning, liquidity events, and legacy questions. yet experts say most owners don’t engage advisors until they’re well into the deal process.
“by the time they come to us, they’ve often already signed a letter of intent,” laments randy a. fox, cfp, aep, founder of two hawks family office services, on a recent panel discussion for contributors to my new book, holistic guide to wealth management. “that shuts the door on a lot of the strategies that could have helped them keep more of what they built,” fox added.
fellow contributor and panel discussion guest christine nicholson, author, business consultant, and exit planning specialist, has worked with hundreds of owners. she sees the same distorted view of reality cloud their thinking — owners mistakenly assume their kids will take over and believe their business is worth far more than it really is. read more →
