\"six<\/a>checklist: the 10 questions you need to ask.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nit\u2019s not just the numbers<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

i\u2019ve developed a series of questions to assess someone\u2019s aptitude for being on a team. each person in your firm who is a possible member of the back office support (bos) team needs to answer these questions. that includes you, as you are a potential team member.<\/p>\n

more: <\/b>which kind of team do you have?<\/a> | you don\u2019t have to do everything<\/a> | what do you want advisory services to be?<\/a> | meet the new bos<\/a> | why ai is not the enemy<\/a>

ask others in your firm or people you work with outside your firm to give you feedback on these questions as they see you and the other potential members of your team. their responses will give you a second filtering of your potential as well as others you would like on your team. notice these are not questions relating to the competencies in accounting functions. the assumption is that you and your people already possess those skills.
\ntoday\u2019s young graduates in accounting and young entrepreneurs are used to teamwork, and they prefer it. there is much to learn and little time to adapt the knowledge. sharing the task of learning with a team \u2013 you, your employees, your clients and the apps and ai \u2013 makes this a doable proposition.<\/p>\n

with the coronavirus pandemic, we now have interactive virtual learning taking place at a higher rate. we may all find this a bit challenging but consider young children now learning in a virtual environment. some struggle, some get by and some thrive. different learners all, but all can learn. the newest graduates who will be coming to your firm have experienced this virtual learning and they have adapted in their own way. just think one year and one event has changed how we perceive learning into the next decade. the pandemic also changed business in the same ways.<\/p>\n

questions to ask of yourself and others in your firm:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. are you a good team player?<\/li>\n
  2. do you enjoy working as part of a team?<\/li>\n
  3. do you prefer to work alone? why?<\/li>\n
  4. how do you respond to a team member who is not pulling their weight?<\/li>\n
  5. are there any things you don\u2019t like about being part of a team?<\/li>\n
  6. how do you define sharing information with other team members? what does that look like?<\/li>\n
  7. have you any examples of things you\u2019ve done to ensure that your role within a team was a positive one?<\/li>\n
  8. have you had an experience of being part of a team that didn\u2019t get along? what did you do?<\/li>\n
  9. what does your ideal team look like?<\/li>\n
  10. what would you do if a team member was rude\/not meeting deadlines\/going behind other team members\u2019 backs\/aggressive?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    your team doesn\u2019t need to work alone. there are reputable groups of boss, accountants and bookkeepers who use social media to connect, annual meetings and webinars to discuss and share information. listen to your peers, then act in the best interest of your firm and your clients.<\/p>\n

    team members and job descriptions<\/h3>\n

    \"diagram\"from my experience building bos teams around the world, at a minimum, there should be three members of the team to cover the four aspects of this function along with the leader who is the coordinator. remember the four aspects:<\/p>\n
