Modern Firm Practices Show

Accountants need to track their own numbers. I get the irony, you are accountants, you help clients with their finances and tax every day - but are you consistently measuring, reviewing and setting targets for your own numbers? I share some of the basic numbers and metrics you should be tracking at least monthly. When you look at productivity, average hourly rates and average fee per client you are going to be shocked. But that will give you a baseline to improve upon as you implement Modern Firm Practices.

Choosing the type of ideal clients you would love to work with isn't always at the top of your to-do list - but maybe it should be. The key is getting specific. This makes it easier to: 

 - market your services, 

 - attract new [ideal] clients, 

 - get referrals, 

 - package and price your services, and 

 - reduce the moving parts in your firm. 

I share a simple exercise you can do right now to start mapping your ideal clients and discuss the concept of "pruning the roses."
