A new study of CPA Trendlines survey research shows that the most successful accountants in the business share three particular personality traits that, when combined, create a powerful force for growth and profits.

CPA Trendlines is studying “The Essential Traits for Success as an Entrepreneurial Accountant.” Nearly 400 accountants have participated in the survey and about 80 percent of the respondents are managing partners, owners or CEOs of their firms.  Join the survey, get all the updates.

Findings from the survey have already shown that “decisiveness” is the top trait for success in accounting business. But when matched with two other traits, the three together form a powerful and integrated success-cycle for accountants.

The research is finding answers for questions like:

  • Which traits separate successful firms from others?
  • How do high-performing firms thinking differently from others?
  • Which traits determine how big your firm can grow?
