mergers vs. clients: winners and losers

as firms pursue m&a at any cost, who’s taking care of the clients?

2008-2017: two years of slowdowns in organic growth rates signal a bevy of underlying problems. (rosenberg survey)

golden and loerzel: problems in merger strategies

the many challenges tax and accounting firms face today can be daunting:

  • accelerating changes in technology (now reaching beyond blockchain to the frontiers of artificial intelligence)
  • staffing shortages (not just a rarity of professionals but too few up to speed on regs and tech)
  • a new generation (young professionals who expect flex time, time off, telecommuting, fewer hours, and similar perks and benefits)
  • an old generation (baby boomer partners working more years but getting older nonetheless)
  • increased competition crossed with ever-evolving marketing media (a battlefield unknown to people trained only in accountancy)
  • the evolution of auditing (or is it an ongoing revolution?)
  • new client opportunities (maximizing potential of niches, it service, consultation, etc.)

practitioners in firms large and small are doing their best to meet the challenges, but meeting challenges can divert energy and effort from actually growing a business.

and merger mania may be to blame.

benefits, perks, and incentives: the happy-packs of employee satisfaction

how cpa firms can muscle up in the war for talent.

by rick telberg
卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

it takes more than a steady paycheck to attract new talent and keep good staff happy in today’s tight candidate market. but there’s a huge gap between what firms are offering and what top candidates expect, according to a 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 analysis of a new nationwide compensation study.

in a new survey of the most common benefits, perks, and incentives offered by companies and accounting firms, robert half, the nationwide recruiting agency, finds many tax, accounting, and finance employers are offering less than competitive benefits, perks, and incentives.

in a war for talent, you need all the ammunition you can get. accounting and audit firms work with high-caliber professionals. these professionals are looking for packages. salaries are a good start, but firms that want to attract and retain the best need to consider what really appeals to them.

what do candidates want and what are firms offering? here are the details:

new practice management study reveals four strategies to maximize your profits.

rosenberg survey

hylan

charles hylan is one of the authors of the rosenberg survey report and a shareholder in the growth partnership, a business development training and consulting firm for cpa practices, which fields the survey.

what an exciting time to be working in the accounting profession!

why do i say this? three reasons:

  1. the shift from compliance to advisory work.
  2. unlimited career paths.
  3. record levels of profitability

our profession would be better off if younger staff and managers knew what a lucrative career they could have in the industry. i’m not suggesting that partners share tax returns or w2s and k1s. however, education around practice management topics would enable the profession’s future leaders to understand the “business” side of the profession, the entrepreneurial opportunities, and the economic upside.

let’s run the numbers…

the do’s and don’ts for a happy accounting office

the knack of feedback doesn’t always come naturally.

by rick telberg

if the finance and accounting people in your office work together like a well-oiled machine, then consider yourself lucky.

let me suggest you take them all out to lunch and raise a toast to their attitudes … because without their skills and goodwill, you are no longer working in a firm or company. you are a solo practitioner.

even if you’re not working in a traditional command-and-control hierarchical organization, you are, in the end, a professional. and you work with fellow professionals. understanding how to trade feedback honestly, openly and without rancor is an essential ingredient to your successful work life.

personnel who fall short on skills can usually be brought up to speed. all it takes is a little coaching and training.

but personnel who fall short on attitude are a big problem. you need to talk with them, and you need to do it the right way. while a few words might suffice for the wise, you need carefully chosen words for the attitudinally challenged.

don’t blame technology

accountant and client expectations are driving today’s changes. technology is only the enabler.

by jennifer warawa
executive vice president – partners, accountants & alliances at sage

the world is changing — that’s no surprise, especially to accountants. conventional wisdom will tell you it’s new tech adoption that’s changing our field, increasing competition and altering the way we do our jobs. but is that what’s really happening? not necessarily.

accountants today are feeling more pressure than ever to stay competitive. at the same time — accountants are expanding far past their traditional roles — becoming more holistic business advisors to their clients and strategic partners with an ever-increasing list of demands on their time.
