Deep dives
Strategic Off-Boarding of Clients
The firm made a significant decision to off-board over half of its 1040 clients to focus on work that aligns better with their strengths and interests. This deliberate reduction in client numbers resulted in the loss of substantial revenue, but the firm deemed it necessary to enhance the value provided to remaining clients. The change aimed to move away from commoditized services, which often involve minimal client engagement, requiring only annual interactions and resulting in transactional relationships. By narrowing their focus, the firm not only improved its service offerings but also alleviated stress during the busy tax season, allowing them to concentrate on clients who needed year-round support.
