bad clients can bring turmoil by increasing the likelihood of regulatory scrutiny, legal troubles and reputational damage.

by alan anderson, cpa
transforming audit for the future

in the realm of auditing, client selection is a critical decision that can significantly impact the health and harmony of your team and your firm. auditors should be highly selective about their clients because engaging with entities that lack ethical standards, have complex or opaque financial practices, or demonstrate a history of compliance issues can lead to substantial risks and challenges.

gear up for growth
with jean caragher
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

“more than half of the cpa firms in the country won’t qualify to be part of private equity,” says allan koltin, ceo of koltin consulting, appearing on gear up for growth, a new show hosted by jean caragher, president of capstone marketing, and powered by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间.

gear up for growth is tailored specifically for public accounting firms with up to 100 team members looking to expand their practices intelligently and efficiently. each episode focuses on a topic crucial for accounting firms aiming for smart growth in today’s competitive landscape.

part of the discussion explores the criteria private equity companies look for and the challenges firms may face in qualifying for pe funding. koltin believes that more than half of the cpa firms in the country don’t make enough excess profitability to create earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (ebitda) to calculate an acceptable enterprise value.

“leaders of these firms tell me they’ll go back and get more profitable,” says koltin. “how’s about, let’s stay as an independent firm. let’s put a level of governance in. let’s make the tough decisions we’ve been talking about forever, and let’s really run it like a business. let’s not be a 501(c)(3) anymore. let’s just pretend we’re in business to make money.”

bissett bullet: ‘x’ marks the spot

today’s bissett bullet: “when it comes to identifying ways in which you could grow your fees by providing more support to your current clients, who do you prioritize?”

by martin bissett

imagine, if you will, a venn diagram with three overlapping circles in which to plot your current clients.

who trusts you the most and would believe in your ability to support them in more ways than you currently do?

who would you categorize as a “grade a” or ideal client?

based on what you know about their business, who would benefit the most from additional support that you are able to offer?

the center of that diagram where they all overlap? that’s where the treasure is buried.

today’s to-do:

draw your venn diagram treasure map. those clients in the sweet spot are your priority.

the power of community in accounting

by seth fineberg
at large

accounting may have long been considered a community of professionals, yet not many have felt the true sense of what that means or have bothered to take advantage of it. moreover, there’s been no greater need to recognize and utilize community in accounting than now.

radical pricing – by the radical cpa

how often have you heard the old saying about having two ears and one mouth because listening is twice as important as talking? hopefully, often, because it is as true as anything i’ve ever heard. scoping is all about listening, so when you make a presentation, you’ll know what you’re talking about, and the client will know you know.

if you’re comfortable with yourself, it’s very likely that others will be too. if you understand the value that you offer (how you can improve a client’s situation to move them closer toward their personal and professional aspirations), you’re likely to be able to convey that value in front of a prospect.

new pacemaker powered by light, no batteries

can science save lives with solar power?

by rick richardson
technology this week

pengju li and his colleagues at the university of chicago have created a wireless, ultrathin pacemaker that utilizes light similarly to a solar panel. because it conforms to the shape of the heart, its design reduces interference with the heart’s normal function while simultaneously eliminating the need for batteries. their findings, just released in nature, provide a novel strategy for heart pacing and other therapies requiring electrical stimulation.

medical devices called pacemakers are inserted into the body to control cardiac rhythms. they are comprised of battery-operated electrical circuits with leads that are fixed to the heart muscle to stimulate it. leads, however, can break and cause tissue damage. once implanted, the leads’ position cannot be altered, which restricts access to various cardiac areas. because they use stiff iron electrodes, pacemakers could also cause tissue injury when they are used to regulate arrhythmia or to restart the heart after surgery.
