💼 Success Story: From Reactive to Remarkable—How Precision Bookkeeping Propelled a CPA Firm to Advisory Excellence

Six months ago, Langford & Price CPAs - a well-known and well-established but overwhelmed accounting firm based in Towson, Maryland—was stuck in a cycle that many firms know all too well: a growing client base, mounting bookkeeping demands, and not enough time to focus on the high-value advisory work that actually drove their revenue.

Despite having a seasoned team and a solid reputation, the partners found themselves spending 60% of their time chasing transaction data, cleaning up ledgers, and decoding messy spreadsheets submitted by clients. As tax season approached, their bandwidth shrank, margins tightened, and strategic planning stalled.

That’s when they partnered with us—ClearPath Bookkeeping Solutions.

🔍 Diagnosing the Bottleneck

During our initial consultation, we discovered:

• Inconsistent data flow across clients using various bookkeeping platforms (from QuickBooks to Excel)

• Multiple hours per week lost to correcting categorization errors and duplicate entries

• Advisory work delayed by bookkeeping backlogs—especially for high-revenue business clients

Langford & Price wasn’t just losing time—they were losing opportunities.

✨ Our Solution

We proposed a fully managed bookkeeping solution tailored for CPA partners:

• Centralized Intake: We standardized client data gathering using our secure document portal and automated upload reminders.

• Platform Sync: We integrated their existing CRM and accounting stack with our cloud-based tools for real-time collaboration.

• Monthly Maintenance & Cleanup: We took over transactional bookkeeping and reconciliations with clear protocols for each industry vertical.

• Strategic Prep Support: Delivered customized monthly reports aligned with their advisory goals—cash flow, tax planning, and margin analysis.

All communication was documented, tracked, and seamlessly handed off before advisory discussions, so their CPAs could focus purely on insight.

🕓 Time Reclaimed, Revenue Unlocked

• Within the first 30 days, we reduced their internal bookkeeping workload by 75%.

• After 3 months, they launched “Advisory Fast Track,” a service offering proactive financial planning to selected business clients—with no bookkeeping delays.

• By month 6, here’s what Langford & Price had achieved:

🗣️ What the Client Says

— Michael Langford, CPA & Managing Partner Langford & Price CPAs
