Course Description

If you find yourself working long hours and bumping up against an invisible income ceiling, you may be experiencing symptoms related to hourly billing. Endemic to the profession, hourly billing is an age-old practice but an invisible trap that appears to be completely normal.

With each passing tax season, the symptoms of hourly billing cause CPAs suffer increasingly. How do we flat-rate without getting killed on scope creep?
