Why Accountants Can’t Ignore Facebook

With over 500 million users, where do you think your clients are?

Who are these people on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn? “It’s you and me and everybody we do business with,” says Bill Sheridan, the leading-edge communications manager for the Maryland Association of CPAs.

    This is a great way to explain the “ROI” of social media.

    I agree with Kristy – “this really hits home the logic behind getting on board.”

    Rick, thanks for bringing us the news!

    What an excellent interview! I have been trying to explain the “ROI” factor of social media to many of my clients for months. This sums it up nicely and really hits home the logic behind getting on board.

    Thank you for sharing.
