The 3 stage tax cut overhaul is being introduced as a measure for fair taxation, but it might not prove to be very fair for your accounting business if you are not ready to make some amends to your prices.
Especially if you assist small businesses or entrepreneurs, it is critical that you keep a flexible price point and set your priorities accordingly. All of your clients deserve maximum priority when it comes to increasing their tax savings. But that is quite impossible.
Last year alone the majority of accountants experienced a severe blow from losing 16-20% of their client base. This is mainly due to the problem of small business owners, sole traders and freelancers not having enough budget for a year-long professional accounting service.
Since the tax threshold has been lowered to 16%, it also reflects the growing disparity between income ranges. Self-employed individuals are challenged with uncertain earnings, taxes are always an added obstacle.
If hourly rates for accounting services could be flexible according to the client’s needs, including a billing system that they can afford. This helps build loyalty and ensures that your existing clients do not opt out.
From your own experience it should not be difficult to tell which income group your services are suited for. It is essential to categorise your services so as to onboard clients from different income backgrounds and help them maximise their savings.
If you end up spending more time on one client it is natural that you will lose on potential clients. Strategise to fit the new tax regime and offer tailored services to your clients.
With a steady 7% rate of increase in the self-employed economy on an average every year, it is always a good idea to market your services to the gig economy and sole trading sector.
But it becomes difficult to be creative when most of your time is spent in manual bookkeeping and other steps that can easily be finished with some on-trend integration.
