how to ward off scope creep

everyone must know exactly what does and does not fall within the lines of scoped services.

by jody padar
radical pricing – by the radical cpa

there’s a time to increase scope and a time to let it slide. let’s explore these two options.

it’s professional responsibility to inform a client when a request is out of scope. in this instance, you have two options: either make it a separate engagement or include it in the existing service package. it’s important to have everyone on the same page about what is within scope and what falls outside of it.

it would be best if you always built into your pricing agreements a 20 percent buffer to protect you against pricing mistakes. this doesn’t mean you should do work outside the scope for free, but if a client asks for a service not included, you could decide to let it go if the amount is immaterial.

by dominic piscopo, cpa
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

when katherine studley posted a short tiktok in 2021 with the line “boobs aren’t a write-off,” she wasn’t trying to build a firm – she was trying to prove a point. now, the founder of the only consultant and prisma tax is one of the most in-demand accountants for adult industry professionals across north america, having helped thousands of creators, dancers, and sex workers file taxes, get compliant, and navigate financial systems that too often shut them out. 

more dominic piscopo | more private equity | more pay & compensation

in this episode of big 4 transparency, host dominic piscopo speaks with studley about how she carved out one of the most unusual and underserved niches in accounting and scaled it to a fully remote, growing firm with a waitlist and a social following that fuels constant inbound interest. studley’s journey started after leaving the cpa firm grind, working in coffee shops, and being recruited into a government intelligence role. but it was a viral conversation during the pandemic that unlocked a huge market: onlyfans creators and exotic dancers who were suddenly earning six figures with no idea how to file taxes or whom to trust to help them.

the new 2025 accounting move project report finds that dei has become a flashpoint in the accounting profession’s talent crisis – just as the industry faces its most severe workforce contraction in decades.

“belonging isn’t a soft concept; it’s a hard-edged business imperative,” says bonnie buol ruszczyk, president of the accounting move project.

in addition, 12 firms were cited as exemplary by the accounting & financial women’s alliance: bpm, clark nuber, eide bailly, frazier & deeter, the bonadio group, schellman, kwc certified public accountants, bland & associates, james moore & co., abbott, stringham & lynch, kerkering, barberio & co., and rehmann.
