In this brief dialogue, two speakers discuss upcoming changes to pricing structures for accounting firms, drawing parallels to similar shifts in law firms. They emphasize the importance of proactively reviewing and adjusting pricing before the new year. A practical recommendation is to maintain a running list of extra projects and reporting requests completed throughout the year. This checklist serves as a transparent record of added value, enabling a collaborative conversation with clients that frames any price adjustments as a joint review of services rendered rather than a punitive increase. The speakers stress a non‑punitive, client‑focused approach, positioning the pricing discussion as a team effort that highlights results and mutual benefits.

You mentioned that.
Other demands, like you want reporting at a certain period of time that's above everybody else. We've got to prioritize it differently. Pricing structures will shift in the new year for accounting firms like they do for yourselves as law firms. And if you haven't revisited your pricing, that would probably be a good time to have that conversation. On all sides.
Well, you know, keep a list throughout the year of all the extra projects you've done.
Yeah.
For the law firm.
I love that tip, Steve. Yeah.
Yeah, just keep that checklist because that's good customer service. That's not saying, I'm gonna raise your rates because you gave me this to do and that to do.
Exactly. It's not punitive.
You say, you know, we as a team together, client and us, this is what we did, this is what you added, these are the results of it, that sort of thing.
