Today, ensuring your firm delivers exceptional value and effectively captures that value through appropriate pricing is crucial. Traditional approaches to scoping and pricing jobs have often been fragmented and inconsistent.

The same client might get a quote from two offices for the same service priced drastically differently depending on who they call.

Selling outside the U.S. does not free you from the complexities of sales tax. In many countries, you will run into some kind of sales tax – familiar if you’re used to selling in the U.S., but different, too. Europe’s value-added tax VAT is applied at each stage of the supply chain and is recoverable by most businesses and, similar to American sales tax, rates are generally applied at a local (in Europe’s case, usually by country) level with exceptions on certain products.

In the climb from contributor to leader, the rules quietly change. But if you’re aiming for the summit, the air gets thinner, and what got you here won’t be enough to get you to the top. 🗻 What made you successful early in your finance career—technical accuracy, sharp analysis, flawless execution—won’t be what carries you to the next level. The higher you go, the more your effectiveness depends on how you connect, adapt, and communicate.
