1) what are the most critically important practice management issues facing cpas and the profession?
facing the reality of ?outsourcing? and the economics associated with the answers you arrive at.
2) what can or should cpas and/or the profession be doing about these critical issues?
open and honest discussions between members of the profession and an educational program to the public so they understand what it all means.
3) how will your presentation in particular address some of these issues?
i will discuss alternative services in technology that can be profitable. i will discuss how technology can be used with outsourcing to improve the bottom line but keep service high. in my second session (succession) i will ask if these questions are ones that are better answered by the next generation of owners and managers.
4) what will be the main “take-always” from your presentation to the attendees?
technology: what are ways cpas can service their clients better and make money using or around technology.
succession: what are the hard questions you must ask yourself as you approach the idea of a transition?
5) after hearing your talk, what’s the first think that you’d want attendees to do with what you told them?
technology: select the one idea that might fit them best and begin the necessary research to determine if it is the best answer for them and then to have a plan to move to implementation.
succession: begin conversations with partners, significant others and oneself about the tough issues that must be faced.
