style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>why now!<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\"><em>by ed mendlowitz<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>this handbook contains a lifetime of ideas that i&#8217;ve used to assist clients in running their businesses and becoming more successful. also, the more i helped them, the better and more fulfilling my practice became, and the more fun i had.<\/p>\n<p>assembling all the information for this book caused me to relive them, especially when i first learned or used each one and the clients\u2019 reactions. i would like to say that i was paid very well for each idea. i wasn\u2019t. but it strengthened my relationships and bonds with my clients. it was very rare when i lost a client. that is how my practice grew \u2013 by retention with nominal annual fee increases and occasionally a new client who was retained and accepted the annual fee increases.<\/p>\n<p>this handbook contains a plethora of information, and i hope my colleagues use what\u2019s in here and that the clients that read this book meet and insist that their accountants follow the pattern suggested here.<\/p>\n<p>while my name is on the cover, the information in it was not \u201cinvented\u201d in a vacuum but required the help of many people. underlying this book are my career\u2019s interactions with bosses, fellow workers, partners, staff, colleagues and clients. i have been blessed to be part of a great profession. this book attempts, in a small way, to return some of the help and mentoring i have received.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>caveat: while this book has been written to assist fellow professionals, if a client reads anything here, they are advised that before doing anything of a technical, legal or tax nature, they should consult with their own advisor who can advise on not only the technical issues but also the specific applicability to the client\u2019s situation based on their individual circumstances.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\">consulting for <span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.1pt;\">clients<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>with covid-19, the situation changed. they now knew (1) they needed outside-the-box help; (2) that it is transactional, in that these are separate self-contained services with a beginning, middle and end, and (3) that they preferred to hire their accountant for those services without an on-going obligation to either \u201cbuy\u201d additional services or have their regular fees bundled with an add-on permanent fee in case they <em>might <\/em>need such type of services in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><em><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\">many small business clients have either developed a lower reliance on their accounting firm for financial reporting or are planning on outsourcing all of their accounting functions to them. <\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<h3><em><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\">this wide spectrum indicates a major disruption in how accountants will be involved with their clients.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>i should define \u201csmall business\u201d clients to create a frame of reference. a small business client is any family-owned or closely held business. size does not matter. every business is extremely important to the owner and those working in it. in that regard, every business is a big business to them. perhaps instead of using the term \u201csmall business\u201d client, i should say \u201cfamily-owned&#8221; or &#8220;closely held\u201d business. a single-owner business with two employees has important issues that its accountant can help them with, just as a two-owner business with 1,500 employees and warehouses in multiple states and three countries. the larger size business will have more complicated issues and might represent greater potential revenue, but their problems are no more important to them than the problems a three-person business has. the effective accountant advisor will treat both with the attention they require.<\/p>\n<p>i have been an accountant for many years serving many types of clients and developed my practice where i felt i needed to \u201cgive away\u201d the consulting and coaching services. however, that is not the whole story. here is some more of what i did and do.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\">be the first person they <span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.2pt;\">call<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>there is no question that i provide significant consulting, coaching and mentoring to clients as part of my regular fixed-fee services. i do it because that is how i see myself\u2014as their consultant. and it is continuous and ongoing. one of the benefits is that i am the first person they call when they have a problem or something new arises.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><em><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\">that&#8217;s why i am an accountant\u2014to do interesting things for interesting people, to have them rely on my judgment and to have access to them.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>however, there are times when there is a need for an additional service that is not part of our engagement, and clients are billed extra for it \u2014 usually, a fixed price based on the value to the client as well as the type of project it is and the demands on our time and skills.<\/p>\n<p>occasionally the client is billed on a timely basis when the project is of unknown duration or parameters. and sometimes they&#8217;re billed with a fixed fee, with the right to negotiate an adjustment or bonus with the client afterward. there are many more, but don&#8217;t think that my method locks you into performing, for free, additional services that are beyond the scope of the original fixed price agreement with consulting included.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\">pricing <span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.1pt;\">matters<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>while i believe we will see a growing development of the single advisory engagements, using the right pricing method will be critical to making the sale.<\/p>\n<p>i see fixed fees negotiated before the services start as the primary method. if an assignment is too large to be able to set a fixed fee, then it should be broken down into separate components or projects.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><em><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\">realistically if the accountant cannot visualize the project well enough to commit to a fixed fee, then how will the client be able to relate to the project, its cost and its value to them?<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>setting a fixed fee, in advance, removes the client\u2019s risk of the project running too long or beyond the scope the accountant is engaged. it also empowers the client by giving them the decision to proceed or not. and it lets the client know that the project is not a business-as-usual service that is included in the routine or regular engagement.<\/p>\n<p>since the fixed fee shifts the risk to the accountant, it is absolutely necessary to clearly and fully define the nature, scope, time frame and deadline of the project. this description has always taken me more time than i might have liked, but it paid great dividends when \u201cextras\u201d arose, and i was able to point to the agreement and have a change order agreed to.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\">just don&#8217;t call it <span style=\"letter-spacing: -0.1pt;\">&#8216;consulting&#8217;<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>getting back to the basics, i&#8217;ve done an enormous amount of consulting. i just don&#8217;t call it that and i don&#8217;t charge extra for much of what i do. the fees were built into the overall fixed fee for that client. because of the dynamics of my relationships and fee arrangements, i have developed many low-effort, high-value services to perform for clients. the list ended up with 77 things to do. but, in reality, there are many more that flow from that.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><em><span style=\"color: #0056a6;\">this handbook contains that list and descriptions of what i have done and what you could do \u2013 all easy, with minimal time \u2013 sometimes less than 10 minutes and with a high impact.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">of course, there are many times that performing some of these freebies led to paid engagements. instead of calling them consulting, gave the specific name of the service. i have found \u201cconsulting\u201d to be a no-no. let the big firms do the consulting. however, the smaller accounting firms will be their clients\u2019 &#8220;trusted advisors&#8221; \u2013 a term only accountants use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>go through this book and pick out what you can do for your clients \u2013 one thing extra each time you see the client. try it \u2013 they all work. i know because i have done and continue to do everything in here.<\/p>\n<p>everything on this list has been successfully done by me. my staff and i have used this listing for many years, and it&#8217;s gone through many iterations. this is the first time this list has had material added to it that could be described as practice aids. i believe it&#8217;s pretty comprehensive and presents fully usable information that can be immediately applied to your clients.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>any reader is welcome to contact me with questions,
