fortunately, the new accounting firm operations and technology survey by the research team of randy johnston and leslie garrett provides a one-of-a-kind roadmap for growth-minded professionals seeking the hard-boiled data essential to making smarter strategic decisions. with thousands of key metrics for firms of every size, you can compare your firm against similar firms. better yet: you can compare where your firm is today to where you want it to be tomorrow.
