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

by charles hylan, cpa
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

source: sage

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

warawa

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.

running on passion, or running on empty?

‘passion is nice. but passion with positive cash flow is so much nicer.’

by andrea feinberg

hey, new business owner: congratulations on making a huge leap. your choice to risk it all (and i’d say a predictable income, resources and benefits are pretty huge to leave behind) takes enormous courage, persistence, and a plan. and, many would say it takes a strong devotion – some call it ‘passion’ – to the service or product you plan to deliver.

well, i have a suggestion and i hope you’ll take this personally (not a typo: i want you to take it personally because your business will be among the most personal relationships and responsibilities you’ll ever have.)

i’m going to suggest you shift your thinking: don’t start a business; solve a problem. unless your product or service can solve a specific problem (or, secondarily, expand on an opportunity) for a recognizable category of customer, you’ll never make a penny. read more →

five good reasons to let them make their own hours.

by drew carrick

what i am about to say might cause you to break into absolute hysteria.  depending on whom you are,  you will either: share and embrace, or smear and critique. my intention is not to demand a change in the working world, but rather to stimulate a cultural conversation that can change the way we work.

employees should be able to make their own hours.

are you crazy, drew? nobody would ever work then!

well, while that may be your first thought, let me explain my thought process. read more →
