#184 When And How Do We Charge For Ad Hoc Advice?

In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the biggest challenges accountants face: how to charge for all that “off-the-cuff” advice we often give away for free. I’m breaking down my approach to getting paid for the value you provide without resorting to hourly billing. I walk you through my “give away advice, charge for implementation” model – a method that helps you support clients with valuable insights while making sure you’re compensated when it’s time to take action. We’ll cover real-world examples, like turning those quick tax-saving tips into paid services. Instead of throwing out advice in a meeting and hoping clients see the value, I show you how to position your expertise so that when they want results, they’re ready to pay for it. You’ll learn the art of communicating value upfront so that clients don’t see you as a “free advice hotline.” We’ll also explore how to create a structure around advice-based services, including simple ways to package these as part of your monthly fees, so clients know access to your brainpower is baked into their investment with you. If you’re ready to stop giving away your expertise for free and start charging for every bit of value you bring to the table, this episode is for you! ---------- If you’ve enjoyed my podcasts, here’s how you can get more value from me:  Free stuff  Get a free copy of my book   The Four Pillars from here Watch a short 8 min video on how you can win new clients whilst you sleep here Join 1500+ accountants owners in the Profitable Accountant Free Facebook group  My inner-circle  Join 100+ accounting firm owners in the Profitable Accountants Community (the PAC) to get access to the tools, training and tribe to help you grow your firm - without wasting time and money doing it the hard way. Join the PAC NOW!  For larger sole practitioner firms wanting more support, direction and accountability, access the Profitable Accountants Mastermind including 1-2-1 access to me If you're going to create an account and use OnlineJobs.ph use my affiliate link here and i'll get a few pennies back in return to fund my coffee addiction 🙂 http://store.onlinejobs.ph/?aid=377675 To find out more about today's sponsors Apron click here: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0c5wzF0
