A new leadership offering is giving professionals the chance to learn the personal stories—the defining moments and motivating factors—behind the success of some of the top CEOs, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders in the accounting software field.
Small business owners are pressed with constantly changing competition and are looking for ways to get ahead and stay there, and they expect their accountant to help them meet this challenge.
We’re in the middle of a fundamental shift – from client-centric accounting, where clients do their own bookkeeping and then send the records (often full of errors) to the tax preparer once a year – to an accountant-centric model, where accountants use cloud-based tools to provide accounting services as well as higher level consulting services. This shift is forcing the profession to reexamine the whole model of the practice.
Gail Perry, a Certified Public Accountant and longtime accounting industry thought leader and writer, will join CPA Practice Advisor as editor-in-chief effective December 8, 2013. The announcement was made today during The Sleeter Group’s annual Solutions13 conference in Las Vegas.
