<\/a>\u201cpartner seniors\u201d just won\u2019t do.<\/strong><\/p>\n by marc rosenberg<\/i> a great episode from an old, award-winning tv show, \u201cm*a*s*h,\u201d is relevant here. the two stars, hawkeye and trapper, are captains and doctors serving in the korean war. they drive to a nearby military base on business. they have brought with them the timid but highly effective company clerk, corporal radar o\u2019reilly.<\/p>\n more: <\/b>what prospective partners should ask their firm<\/a> | what new partners should know about buyouts<\/a> | making partner: do the math<\/a> | a crash course in the business of public accounting<\/a> | making partner: what managers need to know<\/a> | nine reasons people are promoted to partner<\/a> the mischievous captains decide to stop at an officers\u2019 club for a drink, but radar tells them he can\u2019t enter because he\u2019s not an officer. hawkeye, ever the schemer, comes up with a solution. he takes one of his captain\u2019s bars and pins it on radar\u2019s lapel, and the threesome enter the club. one takeaway is that partners, not \u201cpartner seniors,\u201d should be drivers of their firm. <\/strong>in most cases, firms should refrain from extending partnership offers to smart, capable, valuable, hard-working staff who function fantastically as seniors or managers but lack the leadership skills needed to drive the firm: bringing in business, leading, mentoring staff and inspiring client confidence.<\/p>\n an impact player in sports is more than just a productive, loyal member of the team. the team relies on this player to be a consistent winner.<\/p>\n i\u2019ve always liked this term to describe what a partner in a cpa firm should be. here are how some thought leaders i\u2019ve worked with in the cpa profession describe an impact player:<\/p>\n when all is said and done, one of the most enjoyable parts of bringing in a new partner is celebrating the occasion. one way firms do this is through making a public announcement that they are admitting a new partner. as a bonus, this doubles as an excellent marketing opportunity for the firm.<\/p>\n new partner announcements should be made to celebrate both non-equity and equity partners. there is rarely mention outside the partner group of a non-equity partner movement to equity partner.<\/p>\n some tips for making your new partner announcement:<\/p>\n if the announcements are done properly, they should make readers think, \u201cwow, this firm is really going places. it continues to develop great new talent, as evidenced by these striking young men and women it has chosen as partners.\u201d<\/p>\n in addition to the public announcement, an internal celebration is in order. firm practices vary widely on this, but you may want to consider:<\/p>\n partner promotions are a really big deal to all stakeholders: clients, staff, the community, the new partner\u2019s family and most of all, to the new partner. the life of a partner at a cpa firm can be pretty humdrum at times. new partner announcements don\u2019t happen every day. use this as a cause for celebration \u2013 and maybe a little bragging about the new partner and the firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\nwhile they are standing at the bar, sipping their drinks, radar realizes he is the recipient of an angry stare from a regular army colonel and prays to quickly become invisible. alas, the colonel confronts radar and tells him he\u2019s not allowed in the bar because he\u2019s only a corporal. hawkeye immediately comes to radar\u2019s defense and politely but authoritatively informs the gullible colonel that radar is the subject of the army\u2019s experimentation with a new rank: a corporal-captain. the skeptical colonel raises his eyebrows, not quite satisfied with hawkeye\u2019s explanation, but decides not to pursue the matter.<\/p>\nnew partners need to be impact<\/em> players<\/h3>\n
