Six Common Pricing Pain Points Solved by Sympli4 Accountants™
Poor Client and/or Project Fit
Sympli4 Accountants™ addresses pains related to client and project fit by guiding practitioners through an initial “Client Value Assessment” and later through a “Project Value Assessment.”
These assessments quantify whether or not a new client and/or project fits your firm. After all, a root cause of stress and work overload stems from accepting and/or continuing with clients and projects that are not a good match for your firm skills, ethics and preferred areas of practice specialization.
As the old saying goes, “an ounce of prevention is a pound of cure” and traditional time and billing is a “one-size, fits all” solution that fails to consider client and/or project fit.
Project Materiality
Sympli4 Accountants™ applies the concept of financial materiality to the art of pricing by measuring and calculating the financial impact, relevance and risk of a given client project. It does so through the establishment of “project materiality thresholds” and “impact markups” once a project exceeds the established materiality threshold.
Excessive Workload Pressures
Accountants and bookkeepers face never-ending and uncontrollable tax filing deadlines. These impact workflow and morale by diminishing the teams work-life balance.
Sympli4 Accountants™ helps restore work-life balance by optionally applying a time priority pricing adjustment to a client’s fee. This encourages clients to, if possible, consider external tax filing deadlines by offering the client and the firm the choice of deferring projects to a more convenient and less deadline-intensive season.
High-Cost of Operations
Unless owners of accounting or bookkeeping firms take great care in considering all labor overhead expenses, traditional time and billing fails to recover a given project’s full cost of labor, technology, training and other direct overhead expenses.
Upon configuration, Sympli4 Accountants™ allocates a proportionate share of all these expenses to a client’s project; ensuring that the full total of variable labor expenses are allocated and invoiced.
Fixed-Price Risk
Using Sympli4 Accountants™ makes offering a fixed-price quote or quoted price range much less risky.
This is because Sympli4 Accountants™ has a superior approach to better client and/or project selection and initial project definition through its extensive menu of services functionality. A fixed-price risk adjustment factor further reduces the chance that a firm will under charge for a project.
This is a win-win for firm and client because clients often want to know ahead of time what a set of services will cost, and firms want to be fairly compensated for assuming pricing risk.

Sympli4 Accountants™ is designed for progressive accounting and bookkeeping firms who are ready now to transition from a legacy time and billing pricing model with all of its shortcomings.
With Sympli4 Accountants™, you can make the switch to value pricing and reward your innovation and labor efficiencies while creating a win-win for the firm and your clients.
