🔮 Q&A

In what situations, if any, does it make sense for accounting firms to buy leads? Link
You may be resistant to the idea of buying leads, but there are situations where it makes sense, particularly for generalist firms or those just starting out. Buying leads or a small book can help a firm cash flow on day one. Even if these clients eventually cycle out, they may be worthwhile to get things off the ground. For buying leads to be attractive to most accountants, platforms need to convince them accountants the leads are better than the clients they already have.

How do you handle the timing of recurring fees and what client work they're associated with, especially if a client leaves mid-cycle? Link
There isn’t a perfect answer here, besides the importance of explicitly outlining every scenario in the engagement letter. Some firms bill throughout the calendar year & it covers the tax returns filed the following year. If a client leaves mid-cycle, the engagement letter should specify whether they’re entitled to a refund for any portion attributable to work not yet performed. Include examples in the engagement letter to make this as clear as possible.

Will AI actually reduce the volume of work accountants do? Link
Did computers? Did tax software? Did electricity? History suggests people may just find more work to fill the time. The speed of AI advancements could be disruptive if they happen quickly, displacing workers faster than they can reskill. Since most accountants today don’t give themselves permission to work less, it may take more than AI to get them to clock out.
