Clients no longer buy your time—they buy the value you create. 

The most profitable, modern, and innovative accounting and tax firms have freed themselves from the billable hour.

Concerns with the Billable Hour

Growth is a battle against clients. When you charge by the hour, you put your growth at odds with your clients. 

Penalty for using technology. Thanks to advancements in technology, such as marketing automation software for accountants and a client hub that breaks down communication silos, you would essentially be penalized for using technology. 

More hours do not equal better results. Savvy clients want their problems solved in the least amount of time. 

Time tracking inefficiencies. Unless you have a tool that automatically tracks every email, text message, phone call and task, time tracking is a time-consuming hassle.  

Poor client service. Sending clients an itemized invoice noting how much time they are being billed can leave a bitter taste in their mouth.
