accounting voices
with rob brown

the big four are spending billions on artificial intelligence, cutting thousands of jobs, and reshaping how accounting work gets done. that scale can feel intimidating—especially if you’re running or working inside a small or mid-tier firm.

but here’s the counterintuitive truth explored in a recent episode of accounting voices:
the big four aren’t winning because of their budgets. they’re winning because of their discipline.

this episode breaks down what smaller firms and ambitious professionals can borrow from the ai strategies of pwc, kpmg, deloitte, and ey—without trying to copy their scale.

the lesson is clear: clarity beats capability, and governance beats gadgets.

gear up for growth
with jean caragher
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

technology is no longer something cpa firms use to get work done. it’s what defines how firms compete, scale, attract talent—and increasingly, how they’re valued.

that was the clear, unambiguous message from roman kepczyk, director of firm technology strategy at rightworks, during his recent appearance on gear up for growth, hosted by jean caragher.

gear up for growth spotlights the best strategies for smart and effficient growth in today’s competitive landscape. more gear up for growth every friday here.more capstone conversations with jean caragher every monday | more jean caragher here | get her best-selling handbook, the 90-day marketing plan for cpa firms, here | more 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 videos and podcasts here

bissett bullet: rapport is the ultimate tool

today’s bissett bullet: “how easy or difficult it is for an accountant to write a powerful proposal document is often dependent on how well the initial meeting with the prospective client went.”

by martin bissett

if i had a penny for every time somebody had reported a new business meeting they had attended and said to me, “martin, you don’t understand, there was just no client need. i’m not sure why i was there, i could see no opportunity.” all these three phrases are code for “i did not find the need,” “i did not create strong empathy and rapport,” “i did not put together a compelling commercial argument for that business to work with our accounting firm.”

if this is true of your client meeting, you will find a proposal very difficult to write because you will be competing on the fronts of price, geography and likeability rather than a return on investment, which is the front we should be fighting on.

today’s to-do:

when reviewing your next quote or proposal document read it from the client’s perspective before you present it to them and see if you would buy from you. if not, can you identify an opportunity you missed to build rapport? bear it in mind for the future.
