Synopsis

Value pricing is becoming more common among attorneys and CPAs across the country. Everyone's talking about it, but very little has been written on how to implement this innovative, lucrative option. This resource is designed to provide CPAs, attorneys, and other professionals with the information needed to evaluate the economics of alternative billing methods. Professional's Guide to Value Pricing is an indispensable tool that will help practitioners implement the switch from hourly billing to value pricing, do away with timesheets, and perfect this method of pricing within their firms. This new edition features case studies -- real-world experiences from CPAs who are using this approach. This one-of-a-kind book also comes with a powerful CD-ROM containing all the essential checklists and sample agreements to begin implementing the value pricing model.
