cines says firms shouldn’t be afraid of social media. “i bet when phones first started showing up in offices, supervisors were saying, ‘i can’t believe how many personal phone calls those people are making.’ then it was, ‘i can’t believe how they’re instant messaging all the time.’ now, we’ve gotten over that. people will be people. they will socialize. but that’s part of who we are.” it’s also how a cpa firm gets and keeps business … and how a cpa manages a career.<\/p>\n
“a few years ago everyone had more work than we knew what to do with,” cines recalls. but, defying conventional wisdom, cines started hiring professional sales people. the payoff became apparent during busy season. “when other firms were locked away in their offices working on client deliverables,” she says, “we were out in the marketplace and our competitors weren’t. we were visible and they weren’t.”<\/p>\n
today cines focuses on “making sure the business developers have the tools they need,” such as the right technical experts on staff, informational webinars and seminars, white papers and informative blogs.<\/p>\n
going forward, cines will be working to “do more small mergers,” sell more consulting work and continue to build a portfolio of new capabilities.<\/p>\n
for career-minded cpas, cines envisions a day when software, which already handles ticking and tying, will also handle routine processes from start to finish. the cpa of the future, she says, will have to be “a real thinker” and a “sub-specialist.” in audit, it may mean mastering process analysis and non-financial risk assessment. in tax, it may mean acquiring deep analytical and planning skills.<\/p>\n
for the firm of the future, it may mean a radical transformation in workflows that redefine the roles and relationships of partners and staff. “the changes in workflow,” she says, “are already creating a mind shift. we’re re-thinking the way we do things.”<\/p>\n
if they’re re-thinking the way they do things at aronson & company, then shouldn’t you be doing a little re-thinking too?<\/p>\n
