Course Description

Accounting firms have long adhered to a conventional business approach, striving to cater to every need. Consequently, they often find themselves juggling numerous clients and services, leading to issues such as inadequate pricing, overburdened workloads, and staff exhaustion. This reactive, deadline-driven model has adversely affected both individual firms and the profession, driving down prices, allowing clients to dictate terms, and placing unsustainable pressure on firm owners and team members. It's evident that a more sustainable approach is imperative.

Join the ReNew group as they talk with firm owner Blake Meester about his transition from a deadline-driven, exhausted firm, to a 40-Hour Firm with increased revenue. 

Learning Objectives:


  • Evaluate how the 40-hour model commands premium pricing over traditional models

  • Recognize how to position the 40-hour model as win/win for the firm and clients and shift thinking to price for access

  • Identify how offering potential team members 40 hours a week all year round will increase pipeline and retention exponentially

  • Demonstrate how to lead with advisory services, catering to clients throughout the year, and shift away from transactional interactions

  • Evaluate insights from Blake Meester, Managing Partner, on how they transformed their business model to address persistent challenges, along with straightforward strategies to swiftly and safely reshape your firm
