Course Description

This webinar will show the fundamental steps to operate your accounting firm at profit margins which are 80% to 120% higher than the typical accounting practice. This webinar will use a case study approach to illustrate how other CPA firms are using a marketing and practice development system to gradually improve their operating profit margins.

The typical accounting firm operates at profit margins of 25% to 40%. And acquiring more of the same clients will not fundamentally change your profit margins, just make your practice busier.

Many accountants say they want to earn higher profit margins, but they don't know how. They often feel stuck with their existing practice along with their existing clients. In fact, most will acknowledge they have too many C and D clients but take very little action to upgrade the quality of their clientele.

Learning Objectives

  • Strategies to develop a higher profit margin practice (e.g, who to target, what types of services, hourly vs fixed, etc.)

  • Strategies to obtain higher quality clients

  • See how other accountants are increasing their profitability
