In this episode of The Practicing Accountant podcast, Doug and Dan discuss how reducing the number of clients can lead to a better experience for both accountants and their clients. They explore how overloading on clients diminishes the quality of service, leading to transactional relationships and missed opportunities. Drawing parallels to the iconic "Jerry Maguire" moment of prioritizing fewer clients with more personalized service, Doug emphasizes the importance of building meaningful relationships and providing higher value.
By setting clear expectations and creating a tiered service model, firms can charge higher prices, deliver better service, and increase client retention. The episode highlights how improved client service can generate referrals, create more opportunities for cross-selling, and allow firms to become more sustainable. They also discuss how offering a premium client experience transforms a practice into a lifestyle firm rather than an overwhelming, transactional operation.
