Ron Baker, the driving force behind the accounting profession's migration to value pricing, is raising the level of his argument for a dramatic shift in how accountants think.

Baker's life mission is to "bury the billable hour." He has been sharpening the edge of the verbal shovel in hopes he will dig the grave.

That's not good pricing or smart business," Baker says. "Firms that do this have a window of opportunity to charge a premium price."

The accounting profession may be ready and primed for additional coursework. Value pricing, barely a thought for the profession before Baker began evangelizing seven years ago, is gaining a foothold.
