CPA Firm Leadership Survey & Results Released

Is leadership an issue in your CPA firm? You aren’t alone. It’s an epidemic facing the CPA profession as a whole. As Baby Boomers retire, they will leave a large gap in the workforce. But, does the next generation really want to take over?  What do firm’s need to do to prepare?

Today the CPA Consultants Alliance, an alliance of nationally-known consultants to the CPA profession, announcesd the publication of  CPA Firm Leadership: Communication Drives New Possibilities. The white paper is the outcome of a research study focused on the CPA profession’s current and future leadership opportunities and challenges in the accounting profession.

The study and analysis is based on a leadership survey of more than 780 CPA firm respondents of the CPA profession’s current and projected demographics. The white paper shares what respondents feel is important in future CPA firm leadership, what’s missing from current firm leadership, and where they stand related to their careers in public accounting.

CPA Firm Leadership: Communication Drives New Possibilities and an accompanying tool developed by The CPACA, the CPA Firm Leadership Discussion Guide is available as a free download.
