Radical Schlong What Kind of CPA Are You
Radical Schlong What Kind of CPA Are You[A preface to this post, the graphic is rather harsh, and it isn’t directed at Ms. Jody Padar CPA personally, but rather the notion of “Radical CPA” or “Niche CPA” as a concept. ]
If they can discuss “penis size” in a debate amongst the candidates running for POTUS, the cutting edge now includes “phallus chat”, sorry folks I am going to to there. I remember Bruce Jenner in the 1976 Olympics in Montreal just KILLING the Decathlon. Now we have Caitlyn Jenner [formerly known as Bruce] featured with her [his??] own lipstick in a multi-MILLION dollar ad campaign for MAC Cosmetics. There are some that prefer their busty “women” with a side of SCHLONG…whatever floats your boat. However, I trust that it is fair to say that it isn’t mainstream for everyone yet.
There have been some articles that ramble on, ad nauseum about how it incredibly ironic that we continually scream at individuals to be “who they are” and then glorify the few that undertake an extreme effort to be something that they are NOT. If the expectation is someone of the female gender, “SCHLONG” was never meant to be part of the deal.
Radical Schlong What Kind of CPA Are You – When a business person seeks out a CPA, they have expectations, and rightfully so about the professional of their choice with respect to:
- That they PERSONALLY [not someone they know or someone they chat with over the internet] has the expertise and the experience to be able to serve their needs. The may be a certain amount of “on the job training” for a client’s unique or complex needs, but the core skills need to be present.
- The reality is that clients expect that their CPA will be absolutely CURRENT and deploy the most useful and beneficial technologies to serve their needs in an efficient fashion. It a CPA doesn’t permit remote work, or insists that something MUST be done in their office, IT IS TIME TO PUT THEM OUT TO PASTURE. It’s not about “old fashioned” or “old school” it’s about OBSOLETE, PUT A FORK IN THEM THEY ARE DONE. It doesn’t have to be bleeding edge out front of the curve all the time, but lack of modern internet connectivity, ability to scan and send to a portal, continuing to use fax are all signs of it, time for the glue factory.
- It’s time for the Value Pricing Guru’s to shut the hell up and demonstrate how much of their efficiency is being passed through to the client in the form of lower costs.
- It’s also time of an end to “everybody wins”, the market is competitive, and those of us that truly have advanced skills be it in technology, analytics, tax or attest go ahead and distinguish yourself, and if that means telling everyone that you are better choice than Brand X CPA, so be it.
- Getting back to the subject of the post, I thought I would close by illustrating just how sick and tired of the word “RADICAL” I am. How about if I were to substitute “SCHLONG” and perhaps use an ad like this?
