the day-to-day of the cpa may be grueling at times, but one thing makes the day a little easier – the facility of mobility.

not only can a cpa with a driver’s license in one state drive in other states, but in most cases, they can practice their profession in other states, too. if you’re licensed to practice in one state, you’re good to go in every other state except, coincidentally, the one you can’t drive to.

the rosenberg map survey

editor’s note: every year, the rosenberg map survey asks the industry’s top consultants to share their observations from cpa firms across the country. how do you think the next 12 months will unfold? also, how would you assess the last 12 months?

less obvious: workplace models will continue to be varied, and there is no one-size-fits-all. i have clients who hardly went home during covid-19, and their staff have to be asked to work from home to free up office space for a growing team. i also have clients with thousands of square feet of vacant office space because no one has returned. of both groups (and those in between), some have critical failures in productivity. some are crushing it.

the rosenberg map survey

editor’s note: every year, the rosenberg map survey asks the industry’s top consultants to share their observations from cpa firms across the country. how do you think the next 12 months will unfold? also, how would you assess the last 12 months?

firms will continue to upgrade their client profiles and disengage from clients that no longer fit. disengagement is one of the major initiatives that must occur to meet the challenge of the “40-hour guarantee.”
