sanders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nof course for the sole practitioner, remote is nothing new. in fact, the home office isn\u2019t remote from anything. it\u2019s home. one solo, jacques r. behar, sounded happy to say, \u201ci haven’t had a \u2018real\u2019 office in 15 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
another solo has remote offices all over the place, including the great outdoors. \u201ci mostly work from home,\u201d the roaming practitioner told us, \u201cwith receipt of information by phone, electronically, by pick up and delivery from my car window in front of residences and public locations, in-person interviews at open-air locations (such as parks) and a few client residences.\u201d<\/p>\n
that actually sounds rather pleasant \u2026 weather permitting.<\/p>\n
bigger firms are also learning to do with a minimal \u201creal\u201d office. scott sanders at gettry marcus, for example, said his firm, with over 100 employees, is now 95% remote, with 5% working in the office at least sometimes.<\/p>\n
the anonymous owner of a small firm in maryland is getting along with a half-hybrid office, and she\u2019s got some good advice.<\/p>\npiwonka<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201ctwo out of four work remotely,\u201d she said. \u201call work is done electronically. all client meetings are by phone or video. working remote works when all employees are trained and longevity exists. we haven\u2019t yet figured out how to onboard a new employee remotely. it takes more communication efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n
communication, however, is the most vulnerable part of interoffice security. krista piwonka, plying her trade out of mchenry, ill., is sticking with strictly in-office work, and for a good reason. \u201cno remote,\u201d she said. \u201ctoo risky for confidentiality and security reasons. we are a 100% work-in-the-office firm.\u201d<\/p>\n
but then there are the clients \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\ncpas and tax prep pros reveal that they\u2019re relatively ready \u2013 and often even eager \u2013 to ditch the commute and the suits and do their work at home in sweatpants. but clients seem to be less eager to do business with somebody they can\u2019t shake hands with.<\/p>\n
\u201ci have always worked from a home office,\u201d said a pennsylvania sole proprietor with a handful of associates. \u201call people that work with me have worked remotely the majority of the time. so it was not a major change for the firm. the difference has been the clients changing to working remotely.\u201d<\/p>\n
one sole practitioner was finding remote work exactly what she needed at this stage of her career, telling us, \u201c(remote is) better, (be)cause i am almost retiring and i can work on my chosen time even past midnight! i can focus more and be more productive. reduce overhead expense like office rental, less stress traveling \u2013 that saves time. i can do multitasking at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
overall, the most common scenarios seem to involve many people working from home sometimes, many coming into the office sometimes, and management generally letting people decide what\u2019s best for them. it will be interesting to see the trend in the future as covid-19 becomes less of a reason to minimize office contact. but just as the pandemic is receding as a reason, attracting new personnel is an ever-increasing problem, and the flexibility of remote work just might be the benefit that persuades new people to come on board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
