“if we think the pipeline for future professionals is small, the pool of future clients is miniscule,” says jim boomer of boomer consulting<\/a>. “just as the next generation of workers will require new strategies, so too will the next generation of clients.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"jim<\/span>
jim boomer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

he makes four important points:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. the mill<\/em>ennials and gen xers are more comfortable with online tools that enable them to do things themselves. they have access to information at their fingertips like no generation before them – and they know where to find that information with relative ease. <\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. while potential increased regulations and tax law complexities could change things, the fact is younger generations are less likely to utilize a professional accountant.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. firms will need to develop innovative strategies that identify and take advantage of new opportunities with a drastically different client base. <\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. this reality only makes younger generations of workers more integral to the long-term success of a firm.\u00a0they understand the technologies and values that shape the mind set of the demographic.\u00a0 in short, they hold the answers to what it will take to transform and sustain a firm.\u00a0learn from them and, at the same time, teach them to build lasting relationships that will be the foundation of the firm\u2019s future client base.<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
