“the irs largely succeeded in 2024,” collins writes regarding this year’s tax season. “after several years of abysmal taxpayer service during the covid-19 pandemic, the irs has now delivered two filing seasons that demonstrate the agency has restored service to pre-pandemic levels and has improved in most, but not all, areas of service. this is excellent news for most taxpayers.”

bissett bullet: schedule + strategy = pipeline

today’s bissett bullet: “the very best marketing and business development strategies are derailed by a lack of consistency, coupled with a loss of momentum.”

by martin bissett

in order to successfully build a new client pipeline, you must commit enough time to implement your strategy. that means scheduling in regular and uninterrupted time on an ongoing basis. consider both the best time for you and your team to work together and when your target audience is most likely to be available. if there is a crossover, that is where you would be best advised to block out your time.

today’s to-do:

look at your diary for the next month and schedule in time each week to spend creating and following up on new opportunities.

productize services for consistent client value

high-end alignment creates more satisfying client experiences.

by jody padar
radical pricing – by the radical cpa

now that you have hopefully standardized your services, it’s time to look at productization. productization is the packaging of intangible services to make them feel tangible. you put everything you will do for a persona into an offering that resonates with them because it’s customized for them. it’s then clearly priced so the buyer knows what they get for their investment.

this is just as useful for your clients as it is for your staff. clients appreciate it because they know exactly what they’ll get and what to expect. staff appreciate it because, unlike in traditional firms where there are at least four different ways to get to the same deliverable, this model has one pathway for each deliverable and service product, making it both efficient and traceable.

how to prepare for partnership

our expert panel says first, consider why you want it.

by martin bissett
passport to partnership

the skill in producing financial reports is limited by the quality of the information presented to the cpa by the client. the motivation of the client to influence that financial information comes in many forms, some intentional and some unintentional. competence comes first in being able to resist pressure and present a true and accurate position of the client’s organization.
