  Stop Selling Hours: Build a Valuable Accounting Firm with Ben Towne

  Jul 13, 202626 min

  Stop Selling Hours: Build a Valuable Accounting Firm with Ben Towne Kenny interviews Ben Towne, host of the Max Value Podcast and a business valuation expert who owns Towne Advisory and Assure Advisors, about why billable hours don’t equal value and how firms can focus on results clients care about. Ben explains shifting fear into manageable risk by taking small steps, sharing how he moved from outsourcing to building an India-based support firm. He describes valuation as a discovery process that depersonalizes the business to assess inputs, cash flow outputs, and uncertainty, and says businesses of any size can benefit from valuation thinking even without a full formal report. Common overlooked value drivers include clean books, transferability, repeatability, dependence on key individuals, SOPs, and revenue concentration. They discuss AI creating uncertainty but enabling “more with more,” and the ongoing importance of trusted human relationships. Ben encourages listeners to trust themselves and consider entrepreneurship sooner. 00:00 Welcome And Guest Intro 01:07 Beyond Billable Hours 03:34 Small Steps Beat Fear 06:02 Valuation As Discovery 08:39 Advising Clients With Valuation 12:38 Hidden Value Killers 14:52 Build A Sellable Firm 16:43 AI And The Profession 21:00 Human Trust Still Wins 23:18 Connect With Ben 24:17 Trust Yourself Closing

  Jonathan Stark on Ditching Hourly Billing: Value-Based Pricing, Better Incentives, and Scaling as a Soloist

  Jun 21, 202627 min

  In this episode, Jonathan Stark—author of Hourly Billing is Nuts and host of Ditching Hourly—shares how a 2005 realization while managing a dev shop led him to reject hourly billing and pursue value-based fees. He explains how fixed or value-based pricing aligns incentives with clients, reduces micromanagement, and can dramatically improve income and quality of life. Jonathan discusses why optimizing employee utilization can be the wrong goal, proposing outcome-based incentives that reward efficiency and accurate estimating. He also addresses the fear professionals have of fixed pricing, how firms can transition without risking the whole business via a side offering or a skunkworks team, and why soloists can grow without hiring by charging more and building authority. He recommends starting with his free course at valuepricingbootcamp.com. 00:00 Meet Jonathan Stark 00:46 The Hourly Billing Epiphany 03:37 Discovering Value Pricing 05:45 Hiring for Outcomes 10:15 Contractor Risk and Fear 14:21 When to Quit Hourly 15:52 How Firms Can Transition 19:58 Resources and Bootcamp 21:33 Growing Without Hiring 25:04 Final Soloist Advice
