Darren Root, CPA, Authors “The E-Myth Accountant”

Accounting entrepreneur and forward-thinking CPA, Darren Root, co-authors niche book with legendary business guru, Michael E. Gerber

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.— February 15, 2011—RootWorks, the accounting
profession’s premier membership-based education organization, announced
the release of nationally published book—The E-Myth Accountant—by
RootWorks CEO, Darren Root, CPA.CITP. Root co-authored the book with world-renowned
business expert, Michael E. Gerber. The book is published by Wiley & Sons.

“I truly believe that this is the business book for the accounting profession.
Outlined within are the exact steps I took to turn my small firm into a thriving
business,” stated Root. “My goal has long been to help change how
the profession thinks about running a practice. I want accountants to understand
the difference between working in their firms and working on their businesses.
The E-Myth Accountant offers a clear roadmap to help accountants transition
to a true entrepreneurial mindset and transform their firms into Next Generation
Accounting Firms.”

The
E-Myth Accountant offers a first-of-its-kind guide to running a successful accounting
practice—told through the voice of a long-time practicing CPA. Many professionals
in small and mid-size practices are experts in accounting, but have not considered
their practice from a business perspective. The E-Myth Accountant fills this
void, offering powerful advice on how accountants can transition from merely
a technician in their firm to a savvy business leader.

Root was sought out by Michael E. Gerber to co-author The E-Myth Accountant
for the tax and accounting vertical because he represents a true thought leader
in the profession. Additionally, Root’s firm is a prime example of an
ultra-efficient, highly profitable business that is rooted in the E-Myth philosophy.

Darren Root has more than 25 years of experience as a practicing certified
public accountant and is a nationally recognized speaker on the topic of The
Next Generation Accounting Firm. He is Executive Editor of the accounting profession’s
premier trade publication, The CPA Technology Advisor, and CEO of Root
& Associates, LLC and RootWorks, LLC. He was also named to the accounting
profession’s prestigious Top 25 Thought Leaders list.

A signed edition of The E-Myth Accountant is available for purchase at RootWorks.com
for $24.95. The book is also available via online book retailers and in bookstores
nationwide. The electronic and audio versions of the book will be available
