About this episode

Most accountants are losing business and don’t even realize it.

In this episode, we break down the 3 silent killers that are costing firms revenue, retention, and referrals, starting with outdated pricing models and ending with what your clients actually care about (hint: it’s not your reconciliations).

Debra Kilsheimer joins to share what actually drives client loyalty, why she ditched hourly billing decades ago, and how she built her firm "Behind the Scenes Accounting" that runs on relationships, not reports.

You’ll learn:

  • The 3 questions that close high-value clients fast
  • Why your financial reports are being ignored
  • The hidden price of sticking to “industry best practices”
  • How small touches (like a handwritten note or birthday call) get remembered longer than your year-end package
