today’s bissett bullet: \u201cit is important to know the cost price of any given job.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

by martin bissett<\/em><\/p>\n

it is not an exact science. you can calculate that cost with any given hourly recovery rate and however you see fit, but you need to know what it is. this is not to inform your pricing, but to inform what your break-even is. when you set your fees, they must never equate to less than cost or you are loss making, and unless there is significant long-term benefit to doing so on a short-term basis, you don\u2019t want that.<\/span><\/h4>\n

sounds obvious, right? so how come so many accounting firms don\u2019t get acquired because they don\u2019t make any money?<\/span><\/h4>\n
