A great client: Courteous, organized, truthful and pleasant. (or 3 out of 4).
A rejected client: Rude, uncooperative, sloppy files (if any), vague, lying – and argues about everything, including fees. (any of the above)

I serve artists, so an ideal client is one that desires financial empowerment and takes their financial well-being as essential as their creative practice.

How the leaderboard works: The Accounting Top 100 social media leaderboard uses an algorithm that scores and ranks users based on five separate metrics, each of which is weighted according to its perceived value. These five metrics are calculated every two weeks and combined to form a Power Score: a 1-100 value based on Rise.Global’s Relative Scoring Method. This Power Score determines a user’s rank on each new leaderboard release.

Remember, a new leaderboard with updated rankings is generated every two weeks, so keep up the great work on social media and watch your ranking climb.
