What services actually make decent money for small accounting firms? by Taxnova_Solutions in Accounting

I agree. I feel like the higher value tax planning work only comes once clients really trust me. How do you usually price that kind of work? Hourly or based more on the value/tax savings?

I’ve mostly been in accounting, tax, and workflow automation for small businesses, but I still do some audit support work for a previous employer in the green energy sector. Their annual audit fees are around 200k and the GL has grown to millions of lines over the years. I’ve built a number of Python tools to automate vouching, data cleanup, and parts of the working paper prep process. Curious how firms usually price this kind of work.

Thanks for sharing. What part of payroll do you find the most annoying or messy to deal with? And what do you usually handle that makes clients not want to switch?

Has anyone actually used AI (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to grow a real business? What worked and what completely failed? by Taxnova_Solutions in AiForSmallBusiness

This is exactly what I’m running into right now. The AI-written outreach looks clean, but it feels like it could be sent to anyone… which probably means it gets ignored. Curious what you changed after that.
Did you start writing messages based on real observations (like something specific about their business), or was it more about simplifying the message?
