Solving the supply & demand problem with tech

Practice Optimization

Your firm can only be as sophisticated (and successful) as your processes & automation tools.

Doing everything manually 
is soooo 20th century.

12-hour work days aren’t just unnecessary; they’re inefficient.

79%

Of accountants say they spend too much time tracking down files (Remaining 21% were probably too busy chasing down files)1

6 hours

Estimated time saved per week with automation. (Sanity savings not empirically measurable) 2

73%

Of a knowledge worker’s time is spent on non-craft skills 3

THE TALENT ISSUE

So much demand.
So few accountants.

  • Make the most of the talent you already have by offloading busywork via automations & better operations.

  • Collaborate with ease while decreasing internal runaround.

  • Start saying no to clients (believe it or not, you can earn just as much—or more!—with the right kind of work).

IF IT'S BROKEN, FIX IT

Old systems can’t sustain new methodologies

  • Work has evolved—as have its tools—so make sure to use a system that can fix and/or optimize your processes.

  • Stop putting up with legacy softwares—that aren’t innovating or providing you with time-saving tech—just because they’re familiar.
  • Seriously, 20th century tech isn't going to help with 21st century challenges.
  • Templatize your work—with automations, assignments, tags, as well as pre-populated emails, messages, & letters.
NOT ALL CLIENTS ARE CREATED EQUAL

Sometimes it’s ok to (gasp!) fire your client

  • If everything’s an emergency, nothing is. Feel free to let go of those clients that are knocking down your digital door at 3AM.

  • Knowing who you like to work for & what work you like to do will help you & your firm be the most profitable (and fulfilling).

  • Trust us: you can fire a client and grow your revenue. Use data to help you find the client profile that makes your firm most successful.

STOP THE ENDLESS SYSTEM-HOPPING

Say hello to the first firm-wide operating system (ever)

  • What if you could stop jumping from app to app and back? A firm-wide OS means everything happens in one place.
  • Take advantage of having robust reports, dashboards, and visualizations in the same system as all of your data—nothing static, everything customizable

  • Settle for no less than a software that facilitates 5-star client experiences

  • Dive deep into your firm data so you can easily make changes to workflows or make other on-the-go changes to make everything...better.
