What's a typical advisory meeting look like? Today it potentially made a veterinarian $60,000. He and his wife come in for quarterly meetings together and it became apparent he was working more than either wanted with a newborn baby at home. We discovered a few key things in our conversation: ⚠️Working 50-60 hours/week ⚠️No price increases for almost 2 years ⚠️Significant time spent on admin tasks ⚠️Services priced below the market ⚠️Significant supply cost increases We talked through the easiest services he could raise prices on and quantified what that change would likely look like in hard dollars. Then we took it further and explored ways he could ease his workload by hiring a virtual assistant. The client came in with no agenda and left with a plan to increase his income and spend more time with his young family. Even "simple" practices can find substantial value in advisory services. Don't mind the tank top. When it's 85 and sunny in Michigan I work from the boat. #cpa #TrustedAdvisor

Perfect example of what every tax professional should be doing every week, Matthew Kidd, CPA, PFS! May i ask how you charge this client and if you feel it is a fair arrangement?
This underscores the importance of strategic decision-making in achieving financial growth while fostering a healthier work-life balance. And working from the boat? That's the ultimate office upgrade!
Such a great message Matthew Kidd, CPA, PFS. The future for top accountants is in delivering business advisory service with intent. Business Advisory is measurable. Bravo to you.
