The Modern CPA Success Show: Episode 153

AI is shrinking the time it takes to do accounting work and for firm owners still billing by the hour, it is quietly shrinking their revenue, too.

Mark Wickersham, mentor to over 400 accountants at Value Pricing Academy Ltd, tackles the two skills separating profitable accounting firms from overworked ones: value pricing and AI. Mark has spent 25 years teaching accountants how to stop trading hours for dollars. He has also spent the last few years showing nearly 600 accountants how to use AI to do more with less. 

Mark explains the psychology of price anchoring and how firm owners can frame their value so clients see it clearly. He also makes the case for why AI makes value pricing non-negotiable because when AI cuts delivery time, hourly billing cuts revenue right along with it. From there, Mark walks through how to start with agentic AI without getting overwhelmed and how to keep the human connection strong while using AI in advisory work.

Firm owners who are tired of tight cash flow, long hours, and pricing that feels like a ceiling will find real, actionable direction in this episode. Press play on How to Master Cash Flow With AI and Value Pricing with Mark Wickersham.
