aynsley damery wants accountants to think more deeply about their work. the ceo for clarity said we need to think about what clients want and deliver it to them, but as simple as that sounds, the problem is he doesn’t “think many accountants truly understand what their clients are looking for.” clients who have started their own businesses are looking for a combination of “money, time and freedom.” however, damery said, we’re selling them dashboards, kpis and cash flow forecasting without explaining why that’s important and what that’s going to do for them. “clients are looking for an advisor who’s going to listen to me, understand my hopes, my fears, my vision, what the challenges are, and be able to be there to support me,” damery said.

“our clients don’t understand numbers, yet we give them plans with the numbers, and … it doesn’t help,” he said. instead, damery said cpas need to help them understand what they need to do “to make a difference and move their business forward. and that’s not about giving them the answers. that’s about asking the right questions.”

a: there are two separate problems here. first, your firm has a cost-plus pricing model. you’d want to change it not just for cas but also for other services. in general, cost-plus pricing emphasizes the features of your service. your pricing should reflect the relevant benefits of your service. second, you need to find out the different value that clients will experience from your cas offering.

q: why did the accountant cross the road?

a: because they did it last year.

erik solbakken, a.k.a. “the heavy metal cpa,” is on a mission to free accountants from an oppressive business model. solbakken spent 18 years working his way up to be a partner in a firm in canada, but when the partnership fell apart, he was liberated to create a new kind of firm, where he and his staff never worked overtime and he made more money. today, he acts as the guide he wishes he’d had when he started out, empowering accountants to create firms they love working in.

price it right: how to value accounting services

is the phrase “effective billing philosophy” an oxymoron? i’m beginning to believe that it is. analysis of the results of current billing and collection procedures and policies reveals that, for the most part, they aren’t working very well.

the fact is, they have not worked well for decades. while it is true that most firms have some sort of billing procedure and some even have a billing philosophy that is taught to each new biller, the fact is they are seldom followed. hence, very few firms have an effective billing and collection philosophy.
