The traditional hourly pricing model works for some, but it has its share of drawbacks. Consider this:
• When you go to a restaurant, you don’t get charged more for lingering over your coffee.
• Your computer’s price doesn’t rise when you spend an hour peppering the salesperson with questions.
• When your clients use Xero, they don’t get a bill based on how much time they spend invoicing and reconciling.
So why should you be any different? If your advice doubles client revenue, does it matter how long it took you to prepare it? If you can halve the time you spend on tax returns by becoming more efficient, does that make you less valuable than someone who is less efficient? Of course not.
At the end of the day, your clients don’t care what you do with your time. They care about how you make their life better. So embrace their thinking by pricing based on value.
Join us to hear what we’ve learned from some the most successful accountants in the country about why they use value pricing and what they learned during the shift.
