accounting influencers
with rob brown

accounting visionary ed kless challenges the profession to move beyond the traditional billable hour and embrace a proactive, subscription-based model. in this episode of accounting influencers, kless, known for his strong stance on abolishing hourly billing, offers actionable insights into how accountants can redefine their services and stay relevant in an evolving landscape.

kless wastes no time challenging one of the industry’s longest-standing practices: billing by the hour. “it’s an absolutely dead model, and it’s a problem not only for accountants but also for their customers,” he argues. by emphasizing efficiency over effectiveness, kless says hourly billing creates a barrier to innovation and true client satisfaction. “think about it—if you had a brain tumor, would you want an efficient surgeon or an effective one?” he asks, underscoring the need for quality service over rigid time-tracking.

this post offers a plethora of ideas and techniques to recruit staff. all of them can be sorted into eight high-level strategies:

  1. abr: always be recruiting. we all know that staff are very hard to find and retain. it’s been this way for decades and seems to get worse every year. in the past, firms recruited only if they had an opening. progressive firms proactively recruit 24/7. given the 15-20 percent turnover rate at cpa firms, they never know when a staff person will resign or need to be terminated. but one thing is sure – turnover will occur. if your firm website doesn’t have a section on the careers page that encourages applicants to submit their resume even if there are no openings posted, add one immediately.
