Drilling into firm technology and operations provides a roadmap for strategic success

By Rick Telberg

Every day in the United States, more than half of all accounting firm owners are thinking about a merger, an acquisition or both. M&A is now as routine to the day-to-day operations of running a tax and accounting practice as turning on the lights in the morning and taking out the garbage at night.

Fortunately, the new Accounting Firm Operations and Technology Survey by the research team of Randy Johnston and Leslie Garrett provides a one-of-a-kind roadmap for growth-minded professionals seeking the hard-boiled data essential to making smarter strategic decisions. With thousands of key metrics for firms of every size, you can compare your firm against similar firms. Better yet: You can compare where your firm is today to where you want it to be tomorrow.
