september 1, 2015

even without a document management system, there are workflow tools available.

the most important aspect of transitioning the firm’s tax process to a digital environment is managing electronic files that are no longer physically viewable in assorted stacks around the office.

this requires a digital tax workflow system that lets everyone know the status of every return and easily connects that person to digital copies of the return and the source documents.

re-learning the lingo of the accounting business

new tech solutions require new thinking.

it’s tough enough to keep up with the new technical developments in taxes and accounting, but practitioners are also grappling with a whole new vocabulary in technology.

if you’re not speaking the new lingo, you risk losing the millennials you work with and mystifying some of your clients and prospects.

for instance: in the distant past, you “bought” a “software license,” “received” a cd and then “installed” the software on your “desktop.” but now, you go to the “cloud” to “activate” your “subscriptions” to the “software as a service.”

having a document retention policy promotes accountability.

managing digital files is in many ways similar to managing paper files in that the firm must have standards for who can create a document, add to or edit a document, file it, and eventually purge the file.

get radical about pricing

forget about measuring by time.

“forget about pricing and think about what people buy.”

customers are not buying our time. they may be buying our expertise. but they’re really buying a solution to their problem. famed management consultant peter drucker says, “a customer never buys a product by definition, the customer buys a satisfaction. satisfaction of a want, he buys value.” he’s buying a good feeling.

when lipstick leaves the manufacturer, it’s a solution. when it crosses the counter in a department store, it’s hope. from this perspective, how do we make our services into products or solutions? that’s essentially what you are doing with bundling and packages. you are productizing a service. read more →

even if you start small, get started.

the network drive in most firms is not very well organized and needs the most cleanup. this happens because it is usually managed with windows explorer, which allows almost anyone to create or access a file anywhere on the drive.

unfortunately, there is seldom a firm standard that is adhered to, allowing users to create files with any naming convention they want and store it anywhere they please. the result can be files that are hard to find and slow to search across the network. read more →

each social channel has a language

each social media channel has its own language, culture and dialect. you need to make sure that your culture (aka your voice and how you post) matches the specific channel, otherwise it’s going to seem awkward. social media has to be understood and used properly and even though you’re going to be experimenting there are also some unwritten rules. make sure that you’re following the basic rules of the social media channel you’re using.

a lot of firm owners are hesitant to let younger members tweet because they are concerned about content. my response is if you can’t trust your younger members to tweet or put responsible things on facebook, then what are they saying about you when they’re not online? that’s a hiring issue, not a social media issue. read more →
