334 4 Pricing Tools to Help CPAs Ditch Hourly Billing and Increase Margins

  • Summary

  • If you're a CPA still billing by the hour, you're limiting your income. This episode covers four pricing tools to help you ditch hourly billing, price based on value, and increase profits—without working more. Learn how to price strategically, get paid for expertise, and manage demand. Stop pricing based on time! 🚀



    Pricing Tools are the Key to Improving Margins

    Using these pricing tools helps my clients raise their prices by 30% at first, then 50%, 100%, and even 300% or 500% over time.

    Tiered Pricing lets clients self-sort and removes pressure to find the "perfect price."
    DUO Pricing gives you a simple formula to avoid defaulting to hourly billing.
    Single-Item-One-Time Pricing ensures you get paid for valuable expertise.
    Congestion Pricing smooths demand and prevents burnout.

    💡 Pricing tools are the secret to making more money from your expertise and providing great service—without working more hours. 🚀
