move like this
with bonnie buol ruszczyk
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

in this episode of move like this, jeremy vokt, managing partner at bland & associates, discusses the firm’s journey to becoming nebraska’s first esop-owned cpa firm. vokt shares how bland evolved from a small 17-person firm in 2006 to a thriving 130-person business today, thanks in part to its unique blend of traditional cpa services and specialized government consulting work focused on medicare and medicaid compliance.

vokt walks through the fundamentals of an employee stock ownership plan (esop), explaining that it’s similar to a 401(k) but without employee contributions. instead, employees are allocated shares annually based on their compensation, which grow in value over time through third-party valuations. this approach creates an ownership culture from day one for every employee – from the front desk to the managing partner – without the typical 15- to 20-year wait to buy into ownership.

bissett bullet: never rely on tech to set your pricing

today’s bissett bullet: “technology designed to set pricing should be used as an aid, to sense-check a proposal and ensure that you are receiving fair remuneration for the value that you provide, not as a crutch because you don’t understand the mechanism of pricing.”

by martin bissett

if you rely on technology to set your pricing then you will get caught out if your prospect would like to progress but wants to pick and choose from your preset solutions. subordinating all of your thinking to the technology will leave you unable to adapt that package under pressure and puts you in danger of making a costly error.

today’s to-do:

if you are in the habit of relying on technology to calculate pricing, stop. use it only as a sense check from now on. if you have any proposals yet to be delivered, make sure you fully understand the value of each solution so that you can alter the package to reflect any requests from your prospective client, without any impact on profitability.

for many cpas, the three letters after their name are more than a credential—they’re a badge of honor. yet, a new wave of regulatory challenges and firm structures is calling into question when, where, and even if cpas are allowed to use the designation they worked so hard to earn.
