I just got a bill from my accountant with charges for preparing and filing my taxes. They charge $250 per hour.
That leaves me with two questions:
🧐 Why $250 per hour?
😟 Why so many hours?
Every time my accountant bills me, I am near having a fit.
I always, always have that undercurrent feeling of uncertainty. For some reason, it costs $4,000 every year to do my taxes. 👀 Why?
I have no idea if all these hours are justified, if all deductions and exceptions were applied to the max, or how accurate my tax report is.
I trust them, but …. that subtle discomfort and doubt are always there when I need to fork over 💵💸💵.
And that is how a lot of #consulting work is being done these days.
I have news for you. It’s changing.
In times of uncertainty, that subtle discomfort starts turning into a heightened state of aggravation.
The old model of charging dollars for hours is no longer bearable. Consulting #clients want to:
✅ Achieve specific results within a short period,
✅ Get those results at lower total cost, and
✅ Feel assured that their #consultant is ahead of the latest best practices and innovations.
That’s not good news for consultants who still charge by the hour.
Their business model is simple: More hours = more income.
Clients want predictability.
✅ What concrete results will I get in the next 12 weeks?
✅ Are we applying best practices?
✅ Are we delivering or implementing at best value?
That’s why you need three systems in your consulting business now:
