Most accountants think growth = more leads. More ads. More SEO. More hustle.

But if you’re losing 15 out of every 100 clients each year? You’re not growing—you’re standing still.

Retention is your moat. It’s what protects your firm when AI search punishes cookie-cutter sites, when clients tune out generic newsletters, and when compliance-only firms get commoditized.

In this episode of The Growth Minded Accountant, Lee Reams II and Rebekah Barton (Chief Visibility Officer at CountingWorks PRO) dig into why retention marketing is your highest ROI play in 2025 and beyond:

• Retention is 5× cheaper than acquisition (Harvard Business Review)
• A 5% lift in retention boosts profits by 25–95% (DemandSage)
• 75% of clients want more advisory services—not just tax prep (Thomson Reuters)
• The real math of churn: how many new clients you need just to break even
• Practical strategies: client health scoring, quarterly check-ins, segmented newsletters, win-back campaigns, dashboards, loyalty tiers, and more

👉 If you’re ready to stop running on the client treadmill and start compounding growth, this episode is for you.

Retention isn’t just about keeping clients—it’s about growing with them, multiplying their lifetime value, and turning them into your biggest referral engine.

Hit play and learn how to protect your moat.
