good management gets them there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

if partners of firms across the country were asked what the key was to the success of legendary fortune 500 companies such as general electric, coca-cola, ibm and countless others, i\u2019m sure that the words\u00a0\u201cstrong management\u201d and \u201cstrong leadership\u201d would dominate their responses. yet, ask those same partners to evaluate their own firms\u2019 management, and if they are honest, their responses would not be very flattering.<\/p>\n

of all of the techniques for improving cpa firm profitability, none is more effective than strong management and leadership. yet, nothing is more elusive. why is this?
\n
\nperhaps it\u2019s because cpas aren\u2019t trained to be good business managers. perhaps it\u2019s because they don\u2019t have time for it. perhaps it\u2019s because the firm\u2019s partners are afraid of management, because inherently they know it will ultimately cause them to be more accountable for their performance. perhaps it\u2019s the partnership form of organization (even if firms are corporations, most still operate as a partnership) that is to blame \u2013 it breeds a partner attitude that says, \u201ci am an owner, so no one has the right to tell me what to do.\u201d maybe some cpas have yet to realize that their number one client is their firm.<\/p>\n

good management and leadership:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. identifies challenges and focuses people\u2019s attention on those challenges.<\/li>\n
  2. is visionary in its thinking. leaders constantly find new things the firm needs to do.<\/li>\n
  3. persuades people to do what they don\u2019t want to do, or do what they\u2019re too lazy to do, and like it. (harry truman)<\/li>\n
  4. holds people accountable for their performance.<\/li>\n
  5. makes decisions crisply.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    specifically, in a cpa firm, good management makes sure the firm:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. has a strategic plan.<\/li>\n
    2. provides consulting services that clients want.<\/li>\n
    3. markets proactively.<\/li>\n
    4. has a means of holding partners accountable for their performance.<\/li>\n
    5. tends to the basics \u2013 quality control, billing, collection, profitability, productivity, etc.<\/li>\n
    6. has good partner relations.<\/li>\n
    7. provides an attractive place for staff to work and stay.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      a firm\u2019s strong management, through the managing partner and other ways, can influence the behavior of others and get them to accomplish the above. there is no greater way to impact the bottom line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
