bissett bullet: who do you know?

today’s bissett bullet: “we convert high-profit clients by creating peer-level relationships and earning respect. we convert low-profit ones by discounting and devaluing.”

by martin bissett

if you ever hear an expert or practice guru advising you to lowball fees in order to win work, stop listening to them immediately, burn all the books you have in their name and understand that this is a profit-first business. lowballing always creates a profit-last scenario in your future.

today’s to-do:

take a look today at how many relationships you have with introducers in your locale, be they bank managers, be they financial advisers or be they somebody else altogether. if you do not have many of those, you need to strengthen your peer-level relationships in the town that you are in.

outlook & analysis

tax & accounting firms to see more consolidation

also: next gen leadership will rise.

by jennifer wilson
the rosenberg map survey

editor’s note: every year, the rosenberg map survey asks the industry’s top consultants to share their observations from cpa firms across the country. how do you think the next 12 months will unfold? also, how would you assess the last 12 months?

unless there’s another round of vaccines, we’ll see more covid-19 disruption as colder weather forces more firm activities indoors. more consolidation will happen as more firm leaders feel pressure to move their problems to a larger firm and the megafirms feel more pressure to keep up with the joneses and absorb more.

more: 2024 outlook: ‘specialization is the future’ | remote work will see cuts; pe will trickle down | tech, capital will drive accounting profession growth | ‘great shakeup’ in cpa firms on the way | pe, consolidations to keep impacting accounting profession | soft skills are front and center
exclusively for pro members. log in here or 2022世界杯足球排名 today.

at some point, perhaps longer than 12 months from now, one or more of the superconsolidators is going to falter. more than likely is some significant service failures as their lack of integration and acculturation drives turnover and a talent shortage beyond what they’re able to rescue. i hope this doesn’t happen, but it feels like some of these firms are facing a perfect storm of financial performance and growth expectations, high client demand, capacity issues and a less unified, disorganized leadership apparatus unable to respond to these challenges.
