In this episode I discuss the controversial topic of time tracking in accounting firms. Drawing from my years of experience, I challenge the industry standard of tracking time by client and argue for a focus on outcomes rather than hours. I share my journey from time tracking to adopting value-based billing, and how this shift has improved efficiency and profitability in my firm. I also address common concerns from peers and provide insights on managing team workload without time tracking. Join me as I advocate for breaking away from outdated practices and embracing a more purposeful, client-focused approach in the accounting industry.
