High performing single-owner firms now focus on digital strategies.

With more than half of solo practitioners planning to step up their marketing activities going into busy season, they will be intensifying their efforts in networking for referrals, spreading word of mouth and providing the best service they can to current clients, according to a new CPA Trendlines analysis.

The complete 179-page study, “Marketing and Business Development Strategies at Accounting Firms – 2012 Survey Report, with Commentary and Analysis,” is available for purchase from CPA Trendlines parent Bay Street Group LLC. The study shows trends within the profession, but also distinguishes between high-performing firms and low-performing firms, based on time-tested proprietary CPA Trendlines criteria. In this study, high performing firms are far more likely than low performing firms to enjoy marketing successes. The data for this report was gathered over the course of more than two years and includes the responses of about 588 practitioners. The margin of error is plus or minus about 3 percentage points at a 90% confidence level. Click here to learn more.
