  • 324 A Systematic Approach for Accountants to Increase Prices

    Almost every CPA I work with is underpriced. However, increasing prices can be scary because you’re worried you will send clients running.

    Yet, when we apply pricing tools thoughtfully and systematically, we can increase prices significantly, reduce hours, weed out minnow clients, restore sanity to the firm, and bring revenue, profit, hours, workload, and client satisfaction back into balance.

    Providing payment options is an intangible form of value that can be captured to increase revenue without adding more hours or work.


    Rather than say to your client, “Here’s how much you need to pay me,” instead you are saying, “How would you like to pay me?” You client appreciates the choice, and may choose an option that is a higher price for you for the same work.


    Payment options provide flexibility that your client appreciates, and you can use payment options to incentivize the behavior that works best for your firm.

    The more we avoid the things that we dread, the more problems it creates in our business. I know that dealing with dread is no fun, but sometimes it's a part of business.


    When you learn how to harness your dread, you get what’s on the other side: glory.
