Ron Baker: Burnout Ends When Accounting Finds Its True Purpose | The Disruptors

CPAs can help guide four types of client transformation - and break through their own listlessness.

The Disruptors
With Liz Farr

Ron Baker has been pushing accountants to change how they think and how they operate their businesses for decades, starting more than 20 years ago by ditching the timesheet, and followed recently by adopting a subscription approach to services. Now that more than half of CAS firms have abandoned hourly billing, according to the latest CPA.com CAS benchmark survey, it’s time for accountants to move from providing services to guiding transformations.
