by penny breslin

how do i charge my client for these services?
how do i continue to get paid?
how do i charge hourly for processes that will be taking less and less time because of the application of technology?

fixed pricing

flat-rate billing is the logical choice for back office support (bos) services. this fixed pricing is typically used for monthly recurring work. we can do this by knowing how long it takes to create any given transaction. there will be swings in time, but the idea is that the fixed monthly rate considers the busiest season or months for the business. that way, on less heavy months, you receive the same rate and it makes up for the times when the workload increases.

outlook & analysis

will unclogging the accounting pro pipeline kill mobility?

changing the 150-hour requirement could have unintended consequences.

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

the day-to-day of the cpa may be grueling at times, but one thing makes the day a little easier – the facility of mobility.

not only can a cpa with a driver’s license in one state drive in other states, but in most cases, they can practice their profession in other states, too. if you’re licensed to practice in one state, you’re good to go in every other state except, coincidentally, the one you can’t drive to.

practice mobility is crucial in a business system that often as not transcends state borders, and it’s even more important as professionals work remotely, sitting in one state while practicing in another.

see your client to a graceful exit

it takes a few years, so get started.

by anthony glomski

research from the family firm institute shows that only three in 10 (30%) closely held family businesses survive into the second generation. just one in eight (12%) are still viable into the third generation, and a mere 3 percent operate into the fourth generation or beyond. those statistics are even more disturbing because the same research shows that the vast majority of business families are overly optimistic – they believe they will be in control of their companies five years hence.

given this gloomy success record for family business transitions, it is no wonder that 60 to 70 percent of family wealth is lost by the second generation and that 90 percent is lost by the third generation. it does not have to be this way.
