yoda is giving young luke skywalker his jedi training and asks if he is ready. luke responds, “i’ll give it a try,” prompting our beloved jedi master to utter his famous quote. when i come across this line, it makes me think of managing a cpa firm (ok, i’m a little weird about these things!).

over the years, many cpa firms have invited me to help them create a strategic plan. most of the time, i decline. why? because they don’t have what it takes to be successful at it and i don’t want to be associated with a consulting project that fails. the partner group needs to be in a position to do the strategic plan, not try. to help me decide if they have the right stuff, i ask these questions: read more →

why? imagine you entered into an ownership position in a cpa firm in your mid-30s. over the next 30 years or so, you’ll be paid your share of millions of dollars. do you want your share to be based on judgments that are rational and logical, or unfair and lacking in common sense?

2019: staff policies improve, but not mentoring
