Business Strategy for CPA's

Transform your business approach by discovering innovative pricing strategies! Four key tools are introduced to help CPAs move away from hourly billing. Learn about tiered pricing for self-sorting clients, DUO pricing to break free from traditional methods, single-item pricing to ensure fair compensation, and congestion pricing to manage demand. These strategies promise increased profits—up to 500%—without extending working hours. It's all about leveraging your expertise for better income and happier clients!
