<\/a><\/em>checklist: the 12 key objectives and 23 day-to-day responsibilities of successful managing partners. by domenick j. esposito<\/i> while there are lots of reasons why small and midsized cpa firms don\u2019t realize their full potential \u2013 and, in some situations, fail or bite the dust \u2013 we have found that the downward spiral of a firm usually starts with the managing partner.<\/p>\n more on strategic planning: <\/b>6 ingredients for firm value<\/a> | 4 ways to add $100,000 in new business fees every year<\/a> | prune your firm: \u2018rightsize\u2019 managers and partners<\/a> | ineffective management is hazardous to your firm\u2019s health<\/a> | profitability requires discipline<\/a> | pitching vs. pursuing<\/a> the managing partner is the heart and soul of any cpa firm \u2013 the shepherd, orchestra leader, or quarterback, if you prefer, of the partner group \u2013 who didn\u2019t fully understand the key objectives and day-to-day responsibilities of his or her role, and therefore, failed to operate on all cylinders.<\/p>\n by way of background, a few points are worthy of note:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cthere are no secrets to success. it is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.\u201d \u2013 colin powell<\/p><\/blockquote>\n this is a very real concern and i have found many firms do not want to recognize its severity. instead firms say, \u201ctrust us\u201d and while that is easy to say, history has found that this trust has been misplaced.<\/p>\n my advice is that firms consider \u201cprotecting\u201d the managing partner with an agreement \u2013 with compensation and severance provisions \u2013 that ensures employment for two or three years after the person steps down as managing partner. while this is rarely done in today\u2019s world, i suggest that the absence of such an agreement could very well be one reason firms have difficulties in attracting effective managing partners and, as a result, are unable to achieve the next level of success.<\/p>\n in my opinion, managing partners at many small and midsized cpa firms would be much more successful if they went into the job with a better understanding of their key objectives and day-to-day responsibilities. to provide guidance and to help improve the success rate for new managing partners and for the firms that they lead, i am pleased to summarize the top 100 firm best practices to maximize opportunities and minimize risk.<\/p>\n of course, one size does not fit all and the practicality of this guidance depends on the size of the firm, number of offices, geographic coverage and individual strengths of the professionals. this guidance should prove to be particularly helpful to managing partners responsible for multiple offices or for those with a single office consisting of 15 or more partners.<\/p>\n firms need to be very careful in selecting and developing their managing partner. the goal should be to ensure a high probability of success. that\u2019s not only good for the managing partner, it\u2019s also good for the firm and for future managing partners.<\/p>\n don\u2019t shortchange the importance of the role; too many firms fail when the managing partner doesn\u2019t have the capability to move the firm forward. i strongly encourage firms to make the necessary investment in an effective managing partner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" checklist: the 12 key objectives and 23 day-to-day responsibilities of successful managing partners.<\/strong>
