“In their first book, The Firm of the Future, Paul and Ron lead the revolution for professional firms against hourly billing and into a more effective way to serve your customers using the value-based business model. As an accountant running a firm, I look at Time’s Up! as the roadmap to take my firm into the future. Tracking time and focusing on inputs is the traditional business model that our profession is mired in. Dunn and Baker lay out the case for the business model we should all be implementing now, which is the subscription or membership model; to allow our customers the most frictionless way to interact with our firm, the same way they are used to interacting with many of the products and services available to the market. I have been totally inspired to transform my practice into this model and put my customer’s relationship front and center!” (from Amazon)
