We’re talking today about overwhelm, and it’s kissing cousins, stress and pressure.
During the spring and fall tax seasons, I hear many CPAs expressing frustration that clients wait until the last minute to submit documentation despite months of begging and pleading.
And then, like clockwork, a slew of clients submit their documents a week before the deadline and expect the world from the CPA who is thinking, ”Where the heck have you been all summer!”
The CPA feels overwhelmed by the amount of work that needs to be done in a short amount of time.
In today’s episode, I will give you two paths to deal with overwhelm and prevent it from happening next tax season.

Just how much revenue did that ship mechanic leave on the table?
Had he been better at pricing, he might have been able to price more profitably.
Pricing intangibles is a skill, and the better a seller does it, the more revenue he can generate for the time and effort he puts in.
But how do you price intangibles when they are hard to pin down?
In today’s episode, I offer four ways to price intangible value.

When it comes to creating revenue for your accounting practice, you need to create value and you need to price effectively.
Niching is a powerful way to create more value with less time and effort, and niching is a powerful way to price more effectively.
Niching also makes your accounting practice less expensive to run because the more clients look like each other, the more efficient your systems get.

Do you want to increase your revenue without working harder?
If so, deepening your appreciation of creating value for clients and clearly communicating that value is a great bet.
The less a business-owning accountant appreciates value, the more she’ll work hours to create dollars, and who wants that?

You can figure out how to make the changes you need to make to your firm out on your own. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should. I talk with Down to 40 Hours CPA Masterminder Hector Cantu about the difference between DIYing and taking the shortcut.
– “It would have taken me years on my own to figure out the changes we made in less than a year.”
In less that ten months, Hector cut his hours by 19% and increased his revenue 32%. His prices are about 3x higher than where he started. Now he has time to think about hiring, training, and growing his practice. And he doesn’t feel as rushed or stressed when working with his clients.

Running and growing your accounting practice can feel like a lot –– and maybe sometimes a hair more than you care to manage. Yet, how to change, what to change, and in what order to change things can be far from obvious. In this conversation, I want listeners to hear what it sounds like to make a bunch of progress in four months, while being owner of a company where the baseline is 25 hours for everyone.
