5-Star Firms Don’t Bill by the Hour

Published on12 November 2025

What will it take to kill the billable hour? Chris Vanover, founder of CPAClub, believes it’s not only “outdated and archaic,” but that today’s age of AI and automation “is a recipe for the death of the billable hour.” CPAClub operates under a different model. As Vanover explained, CPAClub operates as a subscription service, where passholders have access on a monthly or annual basis to a team of highly skilled auditors and accountants. This innovative business model undoubtedly contributed to the firm’s recognition as CalCPA’s Firm of the Year for 2025. Click here to listen.
