Why Isn’t Your Practice Billing $1 Million?

If your accounting practice isn’t billing at least $1 Million a year you might want to ask yourself why.  Don’t have a good answer?  Well take solace in the fact that you are not alone.

An article examining the profitability of small CPA firms written by Steven L. Nelson, the author of numerous accounting software how-to-books, points out the fact that most sole practitioners barely make more than a job-like salary.

In the AICPA survey which Nelson cites in his blog, 25% of survey participants generate revenues of less than $200,000 while US Census Bureau statistics suggest roughly 70% of small CPA firms generate less than $200,000 in revenue placing profitability at around $77,000.

In an era where more than 143 million Internet searches that incorporate the word “accountant” are generated each year, finding the solution to your limited revenue stream may not be all that difficult.  If your accounting practice is among those billing less than $200,000 you might be overlooking the most obvious path to growing your client base; the Internet.  But just putting up a website isn’t the answer. If you want to grow your practice by as much as 100% through digital marketing then you might want to contact GoodAccountants.com at 1 (888) 326-9300 to speak with a representative about tailoring a digitial marketing program that can help grow your accounting practice from $50,000 to as much as $500,000 in billings.
