plus who should serve and for how long.

by domenick j. esposito
8 steps to great

every small and midsized cpa firm requires an executive committee that serves as the key corporate governance mechanism within a firm.

said simply, an effective executive committee keeps its nose in but its hands out. in other words, an effective executive committee has the responsibility to be the check and balance over a firm’s operations but isn’t responsible for running the day-to-day activities. that is the responsibility of the firm’s ceo and the firm’s operating or management committee.

9 warning signs, plus 4 things a managing partner should not be.

by domenick j. esposito

hard to believe but every year there are a number of small and midsized cpa firms that either “die on the vine,” break up or merge up as “damaged goods” if a well-run firm is willing to take them on.

by domenick j. esposito

the question to ask is why do so many firms accept poor performance from so many of their partners relative to growth and generating revenue?

there isn’t a firm in existence that does not depend on constant growth to be successful and to generate enough profit to pay its staff and partners well. yet, so many firms accept the old bell-shaped curve argument that they are winning if just 20 percent of their partners are good at generating business.

is it time to manage your receivables like a real business?

consequences: are there any?

it never ceases to amaze me how lax many small and midsized cpa firms are when it comes to managing their work-in-process and accounts receivable and optimizing their cash flows.

sloppy billing and collecting policies often result in lost billing opportunities (i.e., if you don’t bill it timely, clients forget the value you provided and resist receiving a bill 90 days after the work was performed) and for a need to have a relatively large line of credit. sloppy policies also result in year-end fire drills with clients when partners “beg” clients for cash before the end of the firm’s fiscal year end.

unfortunately, the senior partners at many small and mid-sized cpa firms do not possess all of these attributes and therefore are unable to make significant strides in their bottom-line distributions to their partners. while it’s an uncomfortable scenario, it’s reality and almost understandable as many small and midsized cpa firms are thinly managed and do not have the leadership that is necessary to change the inevitable path of merging up.
