  • To identify why the starting point should be to focus on the client & how it make a bigger difference to your clients’ lives and the profits will follow

Course Overview

Are you an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, QuickBooks ProAdvisor or consultant with some clients who think your hourly billing rate is to high? Do you want to improve your profitability and make more money? Then, you need to join the growing trend for accounting professionals and implement value pricing.

Value pricing is the most talked about topic in the accounting profession for a very good reason. Value pricing is a way of billing a client for services provided based on the value of the service (or advice) instead of the number of hours spent. Consider one of your clients calls for tax advice on how to structure a real estate transaction. In a 20-minute phone call, you provide guidance that saves the company $40,000 in taxes that year. Is that advice only worth one-third of your hourly billing rate? I believe even the client would agree it’s worth much more. How much more? That’s the question many firms struggle with.

Most CPAs and Bookkeepers in the US are overworked – working far too many hours – for far too little reward.  This needs to change. Advances in technology are forcing the profession to adopt a better pricing model. The profession needs to fully embrace value pricing. Putting it bluntly, those accounting firms that continue to bill by the hour will experience declining margins and profit.

Highlights of the webinar:

  • Myths about pricing
  • The 3 big mistakes most accounting professionals make
  • Foundations of value pricing
  • How to avoid ever hearing those words "you are too expensive" again?

Understand the theory behind how we make buying decisions as consumers and stop the counter productive practice of billing by the hour. Instead, learn how to adapt superior value-based pricing at your firm and get paid for the value you provide. Discover the secrets of value pricing from one of the World’s leading thinkers on the subject, Mark Wickersham FCA.

Mark Wickersham – Chartered Accounted, public speaker and #1 best-selling author – is known as the most sought after profit improvement expert in the accounting community. He is famous for helping accounting firms double their profits in less than 18 months without having to work harder or do any uncomfortable marketing.

Mark is passionate about this great accounting profession. He believes that we have the power to make a profound difference to the lives of our clients and in return accountants should be very richly rewarded. Unfortunately the reality is very different; benchmarking studies show over half of accounting firms are actually making a true economic loss.

Mark wants to CHANGE that.

Mark started his own accounting firm in 1996 and made dozens of stupid mistakes in the first 2 years. Mistakes which had disastrous consequences on his profits and cash balances. But in November 1999 all that changed. With help from Steve Pipe, Michael Gerber, Paul Dunn and Ron Baker he created the 7-step “Fastest Way To Double Your Profits” formula.

Not only did this completely transform the profits of his own accounting firm (which enabled him to sell it in a management buy-out a few years later), it has helped 100s of UK Accounting firms. For example…

Phil Bessant (a sole practitioner in Newport) recently wrote, “Wow! I’ve added over £100,000 to my fees (which will all be extra profit) in just a few short months by following the step-by-step advice and systems in Mark’s Effective Pricing for Accountants programme. And it was so easy to do.”

Number 1 bestselling author

Mark is also a widely published author on practice issues. In May 2011 his book, “Effective Pricing for Accountants”, was a number 1 Amazon bestseller. He has also co-authored “Your Blueprint for a Better Tax Practice” and “Your Blueprint for a Better Accountancy Practice”, both of which have been widely acclaimed.
