pricing, fees & billing rates

rip that profit ceiling off of your firm

here’s why pricing is so disruptive.

by jody padar
radical pricing  – by the radical cpa

certainly, there are some pros to billing by the hour. profits remain relatively stable. if you work 40 hours, you know you’re going to bill and hopefully be paid for those 40 hours. there’s a clarity and certainty to it. but there are only so many hours in a week. by embracing the billable hour, you’re putting a profit ceiling on your firm.

accounting influencers
with rob brown

in a bold new episode of the accounting influencers podcast, host rob brown declares that the traditional partnership model in accounting is no longer fit for purpose. instead, he argues, the future belongs to firms that adopt ceo-led corporate structures, embrace private equity, champion technology, and develop strategic leadership pipelines.

“the partnership model is dead, and here’s why you should care,” says brown. “it’s holding firms back from faster decision-making, innovation, and the ability to scale.”

the episode takes a direct and urgent tone. it’s a call to action for partners, rising leaders, and firm influencers to rethink how firms operate—and how they themselves can gain influence.
