\"businessman<\/a>do you have 10 hours available this year?

\ncall me before you do anything: the art of accounting<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

in my previous article<\/a>, i discussed mandatory cpe. today i am writing about non-mandatory courses: those covering practice management.<\/p>\n

more:<\/b> bored by cpe? you\u2019re missing out!<\/a> | kennedy\u2019s acceptance speech<\/a> | what consulting is<\/a> | mendlowitz: why my firm merged with ws+b<\/a> | a long time ago, at a cpa firm far, far away \u2026<\/a> | when discounts don\u2019t work<\/a>
\n\"goprocpa.com\"exclusively for pro members. <\/span><\/strong>log in here<\/a> or 2022世界杯足球排名 today<\/a>.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

i have a friend who sells trophies and goes to a trophy convention in las vegas each year. while there, she takes courses on how to make more money selling trophies, and each time she comes home with a couple of ideas that help her run her business better and make more money. yet, cpas do not do take these types of courses because they do not get cpe credit for them. stupid! stupid! stupid!
\n
\nthese cpas also call me with questions about pricing, billing and collections, better client service and retention, hiring and supervising staff and staff career management, partner compensation and succession planning, individual professional growth, new business development and general practice management. i am glad to help them and it keeps me on the pulse of what is going on out there. i also post a monthly top 5 q&as and wrote a book on this (101 questions & answers for managing an accounting practice<\/a>).<\/p>\n

sometimes i ask if they took any map (managing your accounting practice) courses or what books they have read, and i usually get the same responses from many of them: \u201ci don\u2019t have time for that type of cpe \u2013 there is no state credit,\u201d \u201ci don\u2019t need to read any books about practice management \u2013 i do it every day\u201d or \u201ci\u2019m too busy for that stuff \u2013 i take the minimum i have to.\u201d i really do not understand them.<\/p>\n

i feel map programs are as necessary as the technical courses. it seems that if each owner or partner spent 10 or so hours a year in this regard, there would be a large positive benefit to all stakeholders \u2013 owners, employees and their families, clients and vendors.<\/p>\n

make training in practice management part of your \u201cmandatory\u201d programs, including reading a couple of books a year on the topic. it pays!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
