The post Five Reasons Why Your Firm Is Getting Terrible Applicants appeared first on Going Concern.

]]>
This post is for the employers. If you’re a job seeker you can ignore this.

With many of the big firms having called their people back to the office three or more days a week, more professionals than ever are on the hunt for remote work. Adding to this flood of jobseekers in the accounting space is the worrying trend of layoffs which you’d think would make things great for hiring managers. You should have your pick of the litter, right?

What’s actually happening is your inbox is getting blown up with people in far off countries who took an accounting class once ten years ago and Uber drivers who think “how hard can accounting be anyway?” when they see that job opening in tax paying $80k a year.

Why is this? Is it you? Is it the job market? Consider these reasons why you’re not getting that rockstar you’ve been looking for.

You Suck at Writing Job Descriptions

We’ve seen your job descriptions, trust us when we say there are more terrible ones than there are fabulous ones. And this isn’t necessarily your fault if you’re but a humble HR person just listing the tech stack a partner told you to put in the job ad.

And some of you go way too hard on the LinkedIn Lunatic talk. You’re scaring away the good candidates by overemphasizing the “fast-paced environment” (to job seekers, this is code for “we’re disorganized and the manager labels everything ASAP regardless of how soon she actually needs it, often in emails sent at 10 pm on Fridays”).

Exhibit A:

Trust, tax professionals know certain months of the year are fast-paced. You don’t need to overexplain or worse, brag about an environment that keeps people on their toes. Only the most desperate of people are going to apply if you’re waving those red flags so proudly.

Everyone Gets Terrible Applicants

This one is definitely not your fault. EVERYONE gets spammed by unqualified randoms living on distant continents hoping for a sweet remote gig. That’s just the nature of putting up jobs on the internet.

A recruiter we spoke to who asked to remain anonymous because she doesn’t want people knowing she associates with the likes of us told us that a general rule of thumb for hiring is that 10% of applicants will be somewhere in the ballpark. Not even perfect, just possibly what you’re looking for. Yikes.

Your Expectations Are Too High

Is this your fault? Actually, yeah. You want a rockstar but you’re paying karaoke bar salary. You want someone who knows all the software inside and out, not someone who knows a handful of the major ones well. You want someone to wear 25 different hats. You’re holding out for the absolute perfect candidate to fall in your lap, someone who meets every one of your many requirements and who immediately blows you away on the first phone call with their eloquence and charm.

Whatever your oversized hopes and dreams, you really need to get real about what you’re bringing to the table. Maybe your applicants all suck because the person you’re looking for doesn’t exist, or at least isn’t looking to crunch numbers at an accounting firm for a living.

You’re Casting Too Wide a Net

If you deploy a purse seine net, you’re going to catch a lot of the wrong fish. This goes back to job descriptions a bit, making sure what you’re putting out there is going to grab that right person you’re looking for.

If your job opening and description are so generic that applicants don’t understand what exactly you’re looking for you bet tons of people are going to shoot their shot. And why wouldn’t they? Catch-all job openings tend to, well, catch all.

Be a little more precise and you’ll catch the kind of fish you’re looking for.

The Job Market is Rough

Seeing things from the candidate side, things are rough out there. As mentioned at the start of this, remote work is fading away for many accounting professionals so yeah, they might be applying to any and every job that mentions even the possibility of remote work. This isn’t really your problem except when it means you’re having to sift through a hundred resumes that don’t come close to meeting your requirements or nice-to-haves.

So, with that said…

While you’re here, why don’t you save yourself the trouble of DIY recruiting and let Accountingfly handle it for you? With remote dedicated search services, they’ll handle the entire hiring process from start to finish, combing through candidates for you until they find the cream of the crop for your consideration.

The post Our Profession Really Has Abused Those at the Entry Level, Says Managing Partner to the Local News appeared first on Going Concern.

]]>
KTVN in Reno has covered the CPA shortage and in order to do so because local news reporters rarely even think about accountants much less report on them, the news spoke to the incredibly candid Mark Bailey, managing partner and founder of Excelsis Accounting Group. In a sea of talent shortage articles quoting boomers who think 70-hour weeks build character, it’s refreshing to see someone speak so openly about the profession’s biggest issue.

2News:

“I think that our profession really has abused those at the entry level and discouraged them from coming into the profession,” he said. “It’s not uncommon for an accounting firm to require their lower-level staff, up to four or five years and even after that, to work 80 or 90-hour weeks.”

That’s something, he says, newer generations of workers aren’t going to do. Even college enrollment in the field is down.

“I know at [University of Nevada, Reno] they have an online master’s program and it’s only got 47 people in it; they want to add people to it,” Bailey said.

Bailey also mentions an issue we wrote about last summer: firms in higher cost of living markets are hiring people living in lower COL cities to work remotely, paying those people HCOL salaries.

“I’ll interview someone and then, unfortunately, someone from San Francisco will hire them remotely and pay them based on the San Francisco wage scale, which we can’t match,” he said to KTVN. We know of at least one mid-tier firm headquartered in the Midwest that had this very problem, there are no doubt many more we haven’t gotten the scoop on.

To put this specific issue into perspective, here are salary ranges for a handful of public accounting positions in Reno and San Francisco according to the 2024 Robert Half Salary Guide. 25th percentile is the low end, 75th is the high, we’ve skipped Bob’s 50th percentile figures because who cares (about any of this, really). Reno is 4% higher than national average, San Francisco 35%. The figures below do not include bonuses, benefits or perks and are obviously averages.

Reno public accounting salaries

Position Title 25th Percentile 75th Percentile
Tax Associate $54,860 $77,740
Senior Tax Associate $69,940 $96,980
Manager (Tax) $96,460 $136,240
Senior Manager/Director (Tax) $129,480 $199,680
Associate, Audit/Assurance $50,960 $72,280
Senior Associate, Audit/Assurance $60,060 $86,060
Manager (Audit) $93,600 $129,740
Senior Manager/Managing Director (Audit) $126,360 $181,220

Versus:

San Francisco public accounting salaries

Position Title 25th Percentile 75th Percentile
Tax Associate $71,213 $100,913
Senior Tax Associate $90,788 $125,888
Manager (Tax) $125,213 $176,850
Senior Manager/Director (Tax) $168,075 $259,200
Associate, Audit/Assurance $66,150 $93,825
Senior Associate, Audit/Assurance $77,963 $111,713
Manager (Audit) $121,500 $168,413
Senior Manager/Managing Director (Audit) $164,025 $235,238

So a tax associate in Reno offered the high end of salary to work remotely for a San Francisco firm could theoretically make $23k more money for the same work, a manager is looking at closer to a $60k bump. In an increasingly expensive world, why wouldn’t an accountant choose the more lucrative option?

Mark goes on to say that his firm has done the smart thing and limited the work they do take on, allow their staff to work remotely, and try to avoid overtime “because when you do work overtime, it kind of impairs the other aspects of your life.” Kind of.

KPMG halves pay for US partners on gardening leave amid poaching war [Financial Times]
KPMG’s US partners have been told that they will be put on 50 per cent pay during six months of gardening leave if they quit to join a rival, marking an escalation in efforts by the Big Four accounting firms to stop staff poaching. The move sets KPMG apart from its rivals Deloitte, PwC and EY and complicates the decision by partners to leave, since they may have to find money to cover the bills until they join the next firm, even if their new place of work agrees to make them whole later.

PwC’s Indigenous arm receiving contracts in wake of scandal [Independent Australia]
Disgraced consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)’s “Indigenous Consulting” arm – which has been given more than $44 million in federal government contracts – is owned by just two people other than PwC itself. They include former Sydney financial adviser Gavin Brown, who owns 35% of PwC’s Indigenous Consulting through his private company, Validus Private Wealth. It can further be revealed that PwC’s Indigenous Consulting, which says it ‘works together with governments’ to ‘close the gap’ and has been given at least $44.67 million in federal contracts, has also been given millions of dollars of contracts from the Northern Territory Government.

AWS and PwC to deliver $800m to clients in three-year deal [ERP Today]
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has signed a three-year global strategic collaboration agreement with PwC to boost innovation and operational efficiency. The collaboration will build on a long-standing relationship, combining PwC’s consulting and software engineering capabilities with AWS’ infrastructure and services, and hopes to deliver approximately $800m in value to clients. In addition, it will play a part in building PwC’s global strategy, The New Equation, to deliver human-led and tech-powered solutions.

Postponement of Ernst & Young Tower foreclosure auction may signal negotiations [Crain’s Cleveland Business]
A foreclosure auction involving the Ernst & Young Tower at the Flats East Bank has been delayed, in a move that points to behind-the-scenes negotiations between the Wolstein family and a lender on the high-profile downtown property.

Little Rock housing authority will provide auditing firm with range of requested documents [Arkansas Advocate]
HUD assessed Little Rock’s federally-funded public housing authority’s physical condition, financial condition, management and use of its capital fund and gave it 40 points out of a possible 100. The agency scored zero for both management and financial condition due to its failure to submit required financial information to HUD in a timely manner.

EY dealmaker on TPG offer: ‘It’s not the moment to engage’ [Private Equity News]
One of EY’s most senior figures has said it is “not the moment” to engage with private equity over its future as the Big Four firm prepares to select a new leader. Andrea Guerzoni, EY’s global vice chair of strategy and transactions, told Private Equity News: “We’ll refresh our strategy following the appointment of the new CEO. It’s quite obvious that this is not the moment to engage with these kinds of situations.”

Taxing the Metaverse [SSRN]
The buzz surrounding the Metaverse has been growing steadily for the past couple of years, but the tax implications of this novel ecosystem remain fuzzy to most tax scholars. Such uncertainty is concerning, given the potential and momentum of this emerging technology. Although the Metaverse evolved from online video games focused only on user consumption, it now allows users to produce income and accumulate wealth entirely within the Metaverse. Current law seems to defer taxation of such until a realization or cash-out event. This paper challenges this approach.

University of Kansas School of Business receives anonymous $50 million donation [KSHB]
The University of Kansas School of Business received a $50 million commitment from an anonymous donor that will transform business education and research at the school. The gift, the largest in KU School of Business history, will also provide funds to advance key initiatives supporting undergraduate student success. The newly endowed fund will provide critical resources for several of the school’s priorities, including improving the quality and quantity of scholarly output by providing support for faculty professorships and fellowships. As the school experiences record growth in student enrollment, this gift also will bolster student success priorities including the school’s recently revamped entrepreneurship programs; career-focused opportunities within the school’s EY Professionalism Program; and scholarship, retention and programmatic efforts among diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB), study abroad and academic enrichment programs.

Remote Work

The Great Return [The Memo from Quartz at Work]
Employers are ending the summer with an earnest push to bring teams back into the office. In the US, companies have coalesced around a particular holiday: Labor Day. Starting this month, one million American employees will be subject to a new return-to-office mandate, according to new research (pdf) from real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL). “While it may seem arbitrary, choosing Labor Day as the moment to bring workers back to the office could be a calculated move by organizations,” Sue Cantrell, vice president of products and workforce strategies at Deloitte Consulting, tells Quartz. It comes as public schools are back in session, freeing up caregivers to get commuting again; it dovetails with the end of vacations and Summer Fridays.

The demand for hybrid work is only growing, according to a new Deloitte report [ZDNET]
The Deloitte 2023 Connected Consumer Survey asked 2,018 US consumers regarding their thoughts and attitudes towards “digital life.” The respondents’ answers demonstrate that workers reap more benefits from a remote or hybrid work model. According to the report, 56% of employed adults worked in a fully remote or hybrid way at their primary job over the past year. Of those remote and hybrid workers, a whopping 45% said working from home caused family relationships to improve, and 40% said it improved their emotional well-being, Deloitte shared.

150 Hour Rule: Let’s Keep Arguing About What Color the Drapes Should Be While the House is Burning Down https://www.goingconcern.com/150-hour-rule-lets-keep-arguing-about-what-color-the-drapes-should-be-while-the-house-is-burning-down/ https://www.goingconcern.com/150-hour-rule-lets-keep-arguing-about-what-color-the-drapes-should-be-while-the-house-is-burning-down/#comments Wed, 06 Sep 2023 19:18:24 +0000 https://www.goingconcern.com/?p=1000810304 Amanda Iacone at Bloomberg Tax has written the accounting niche’s 1,735th article about the accountant shortage and […]

The post 150 Hour Rule: Let’s Keep Arguing About What Color the Drapes Should Be While the House is Burning Down appeared first on Going Concern.

]]>
Amanda Iacone at Bloomberg Tax has written the accounting niche’s 1,735th article about the accountant shortage and this time, as is often the case, the focus is 150 hours. Rather, how dueling factions within the profession are fighting for and against keeping it as the only option to CPA licensure. Let’s note here quickly that many of the “anti-150” folks aren’t lobbying to abolish it completely but to offer alternative pathways such as Minnesota’s proposal to create a second pathway to licensure that would require 120 units of education and two years of experience. Apparently South Carolina has joined them.

To summarize most of the article: barrier to entry, US workforce hemorrhaged 334,000 accountants and auditors in two years, pipeline pipeline pipeline, blah blah. Scrolling down we get to the important bit:

First-year audit associates can expect to earn $59,000 on average this year, up from previous years, while entry-level corporate accountants can bring in $65,500 on average, according to Robert Half salary data.

Wages rose quickly in the last two years, although growth has slowed this year, Britton said.

Companies, not just CPA firms, are struggling to fill senior accountant roles and jobs for accountants with three to five years of experience. The staffing shortage has driven up market rates, pushing typical salaries for senior accountants to $100,000, said Frances Moreno, managing partner of staffing firm Vaco’s Los Angeles office.

Despite recent pay increases, salaries haven’t kept up with the high cost of college tuition and wages for roles in competing fields such as finance, data analysis, or computer science.

Surgent’s Castonguay dismissed the recent raises, calling them a “temporary blip, not a correction.”

“How you improve the brand is by improving the work experience,” he said. “That’s getting rid of the 150 hours so people come into the profession, and paying them more.”

Professor Castonguay isn’t getting invited to any AICPA dinners any time soon.

Over at Financial Times, Stephen Foley delivered his own article on the pipeline topic, this one packed with juicy quotes from various Chicken Littles* warning that the sky is falling. Except it actually is and by the time the king does something about it, it will probably be too late.

Here’s Bob Cedergren, chair of the Minnesota Society of CPAs:

“The Deloittes and PwCs of the world have the masses, they have offices everywhere and the ability to draw on overseas talent,” he said. “We needed to take some action.”

And Julie Blaha, Minnesota state auditor:

“This is now a severe shortage, and it is causing a tsunami of problems. It’s a shallow pool, and we have to do something about the leak.”

And some Big 4 people who didn’t want to be named:

“The 150-hour rule has prevented many talented folks from joining the profession,” said one Big Four audit executive. “The cost of an extra year of school is prohibitive and isn’t necessary to succeed in public accounting, or business in general.”

At another Big Four firm, one executive pointed out that many states do not require that courses taken in the fifth year of education have anything to do with accounting. A senior partner involved in recruiting there asked: “Is there an alternative, such as learning on the job, which is as good as or better than learning in the classroom?”

Representing the king is longtime Going Concern favorite Sue Coffey (hey Sue, I know you are reading this 😘) of the AICPA:

[She] said having the equivalent of five years of higher education remains a good idea, and removing the requirement is no silver bullet for dealing with a talent shortage. It took about two decades of work to align all 50 US states around the current standards and get agreement to recognise each other’s licences, and trying to repeat the feat looks daunting.

“What exists is a very delicate system of agreement and trust,” she said. “This has been my challenge with Minnesota. It just takes one to upset the applecart and that could upend mobility across the country.”

Alright so if the profession can’t agree on 150 that leaves salaries as the next problem in need of solving. That one should be easy.

*I did not intend to imply any of the people quoted in this article are “yo-yo wielding simpletons

The post Risk-Free Recruiting for the Accounting Industry appeared first on Going Concern.

Ed. note: The following is a guest post from Accountingfly, a niche recruiting agency that specializes in helping firms and finance departments hire accounting talent. They wrote this post because they heard you were looking for accountants. Full disclosure: Accountingfly is Going Concern’s owner/overlord.

Let’s make this quick. If you need some help hiring US-based accounting talent, Accountingfly can help, and if they can’t, they’ll let you know. We’re giving them the mic to explain what they do and why accounting employers love them. TL;DR Accountingfly isn’t in the business of wasting everyone’s time. They’re in the business of matching the right candidates to the right firms.

Who are you?

We are a recruiting agency with ten years of experience helping firms hire accounting talent. You could use the word “small” to describe us, we prefer “cozy” or “personal.” We’re powered by people, not algorithms.

We don’t deal in healthcare, law, or any other industry–we’re 100% accounting, 100% of the time.

We specialize in placing remote, US-based accounting talent. We’ll occasionally help firms hire various hybrid models or location-based talent, but we were into remote work before it was cool, that’s our thing.

We know the market, have access to some really stellar US-based accounting professionals looking for career opportunities, and try our very best to provide exceptional service to all of our clients. We value our candidates too, they’re your future staff and deserve not to be jerked around.

Sounds great, I’m in. What services do you offer?

We offer exactly three services:

• Specific Talent Searches. Need a tax senior with client experience in a specific industry, specialized tax expertise, or particular software proficiency? Gotchu.

We’re kind of giving away the trade secrets here, but here’s what we’d do for you. We’ll launch a dedicated search for the right fit remote candidate (they might already be in our database), conduct initial interviews with people who match your needs, help coordinate final-stage interviews for the best of the best, conduct background checks, facilitate negotiations, and overall do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Thomson Reuters put out a quick guide on recruiting accounting talent in current year based on responses gleaned from their 2023 State of the Tax Professionals Report and you know what it’s not bad. It’s a refreshing break from the articles that imply ESG is more important to young people than being able to pay rent. Nope, this one has it all — competitive salary, the first date size-up, flexible working arrangements, transparency in interviewing. Not bad, TR, not bad.

Without any further blathering on, here are ten things firms should prioritize in recruiting:

  1. Assess whether candidates are a good fit for your firm on both a professional and personal level
  2. Ensure the salary offered is genuinely competitive
  3. Offer flexible working arrangements
  4. Highlight your firm’s work environment and
  5. Have the patience to find top-quality candidates
  6. Offer attractive benefits and incentives
  7. Have a transparent interview process
  8. Offer learning and training opportunities
  9. Make use of recruiting agencies
  10. Advertise across multiple and diverse recruiting channels

So really that’s two compensation-related items (competitive salary and attractive benefits/incentives). Under item two they say:

Are you familiar with the market rate for the job role you’re trying to fulfill? Take the time to research the salaries of similar roles at other companies, as well as any comparable job descriptions, experience levels, and qualifications you are seeking. You may also want to look at the job market in your area to identify any regional differences in salaries for related positions.

Employers: this means if you want a CPA you better pay for it. Same goes for X years of experience. You might be able to save a few bucks if you offer a slightly less in salary but cap hours at 35, are fully remote, have an excellent health plan, and subsidize doggy day care/gym memberships/XBoxes/whatever. You don’t get to pay people less and expect them to grind out 60 hours a week, in office, with nothing but free K-pods and a company-provided wrist rest. Do better.

Item six elaborates on this point:

On top of the usual benefits like competitive salaries, paid time off, and flexible work arrangements, you can also appeal to candidates by offering:

  • Comprehensive health and dental plans
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Retirement plans
  • Gym memberships
  • Career development opportunities

Your firm can also offer additional incentives such as bonuses for exceptional performance and other rewards based on the length of their employment.

It really is that simple.

Accounting Today has published “The 20 biggest problems for firms in 2023” and no one will be surprised to find out that the war for talent ranks #1 among the firms AT surveyed. Talent actually has its tentacles in a number of problems on AT’s list and spills over into several items–capacity issues, burnout, retention. Hell, half the list is related to talent. Writes Dan Hood: “[S]taffing is by far the most serious concern (so massive, in fact, that it has fragmented into a handful of major issues and takes up five spots on our list).”

Since we’re all sick about talking about the talent shortage, let’s take a look at the second biggest problem for firms in 2023: Rising salaries.

Text:

2. Rising salaries

Scarce supply and high demand can only mean one thing: higher prices.

“Rapidly rising compensation rates in our industry — and poaching from large, national firms” are serious problems for firms, according to Erica Ishida, president and COO of Ohio’s Apple Growth Partners.

Firms have to pay talent so much more, in fact, that many of them share the concern of Glen Swanson, CFO at MHCS in Iowa, about “maintaining profitability while having to significantly increase salaries.”

Raising salaries to levels that would put accounting back in the game as an attractive major to students is indubitably a hardship for firms. F.

We have said this before but raising salaries now would hurt a lot less had firms done a better job of doing it over the last decade and a half or so. You know, incrementally. Instead, firms skated by year after year as computer science lured the would-be accountants away with its shiny technology and superior starting salaries. Suddenly 15 years have gone by and new hires are making basically the same money their predecessors — who are now partner age — made when they were hired in the early ‘aughts. That’s changing now, thankfully, but it should have been done a decade ago.

While we’re here, let’s look at accounting’s biggest issues in 2017 (Accounting Today):

Firms continue to face a myriad of issues that affect the way they work, including increased regulation and global complexity, a shift in the workforce, and new client demands for value-added services.

More recently, though, new issues have emerged that have actually put into question the role and value of accountants in general, such as artificial intelligence and robotic process automation, which has really shined a spotlight on the profession. The Boston Consulting Group predicts that by 2025, up to one quarter of jobs will be replaced by either smart software or robots. A separate study from Oxford University suggests that 35 percent of existing jobs in the United Kingdom are at risk of automation in the next 20 years. Among the top 10 percent of jobs most likely to be automated: insurance underwriters, tax preparers, loan officers, credit analysts, and accounting professionals.

Ah to go back to the days when they were threatening to put you out of work! If only firms had been more proactive about the salary issue, they’d have five better problems to focus their efforts on in 2023. Like automation, succession planning, and how to get more Papa John’s coupons.

The post Five Ways to Incorporate Profitability Into Your Practice appeared first on Going Concern.

]]>
It’s official, we have reached the exciting future 1950s sci-fi magazines promised us. We have all the world’s knowledge in a tiny device that fits in our pockets, can get just about anything delivered in two hours or less, and nowadays you don’t even need your hand to open a glove box anymore, just your voice. We don’t have flying cars but we do have conveniences unimaginable to our ancestors. The second great industrial revolution is underway and happening all around us.

With all this excitement, comes a bit of uncertainty of course. Will the economy get better? Will the job market normalize? Will I ever be able to figure out the unnecessarily complicated visual menu on my car’s information center so I can open the stupid glove box? Asking the important questions.

If you own an accounting firm or small practice, you’ve no doubt asked yourself in the last year how you can make the most of these exciting, if uncertain, times. What will profits look like a year from now? Will you be able to hire talent? Should you be on TikTok? Again with the questions, some less important than others.

We can’t advise you if you should get on TikTik or not but what we can tell you is this: There is no better time than the present to think about how modernizing processes with profitability in mind can help you navigate the months and years ahead. “Profitability” doesn’t have to be a dirty word. We thought about putting a list of words that are dirty here to prove how not dirty it is but the sponsors of this article weren’t cool with that (understandably).

The following are five suggestions for maximizing profitability in uncertain times. We were going to give you ten but we decided to maximize the efficiency of this post. Ain’t nobody got time for ten items.

Let new technologies work for you

There’s a technological revolution happening in the accounting profession as we speak and there has never been a more exciting time to be an accountant. Your accounting professors probably told you that back in college but it’s actually true now.

Future-ready firms at the forefront of this movement are hauling giant cartoon bags of money to the bank every other day, that’s how profitable they are. OK, that’s a slight exaggeration. Getting all your clients in the cloud and automating a few manual tasks won’t fulfill your fantasies of swimming through a pool of cash a la Scrooge McDuck. But it will increase profitability because your time is money and the time you’re spending on repetitive, manual tasks is money you’re leaving on the table.

Are there tasks you are currently doing manually that you don’t need to be? And if so, what’s stopping you from getting it off your plate?

Here’s a real-world example: Every day, you’re spending hours on sending payments or reconciling incoming payments, precious time that could be better spent elsewhere. Let’s be real, no one enjoys doing this. Good news! There are online tools to manage accounts payable and receivable (AP and AR) for you. Melio, for example, allows you to manage and schedule business payments for your own business or your clients. It comes with no monthly fees and offers free ACH transactions and incoming payments. We encourage you to take it out for a spin and start saving time and money as early as now.

Take off some hats

If you’re running a firm, you’re no doubt wearing many hats. Juggling all these tasks at once on top of the actual service you provide is not only exhausting, it’s unsustainable. You. Are. Tired. We know. We see you, #TaxTwitter.

Are you doing all of your own social media, advertising, appointment-setting, and client-hounding? Do you hate it? Bet you do. The only person who enjoys this is that one weirdo up there ^^ whose favorite part of the day is reconciling payments.

Here’s what you do: Take some of that off your plate and pay someone else to do it. Now, you’re probably wondering how paying for something will make your practice more profitable in the long run and that is a reasonable thing to wonder. But outsourcing some of these things to experts whose job it is to do them not only frees you up to do the important stuff, it can improve your brand, which means more clients. Your clients don’t DIY their taxes, why are you DIYing marketing?

For those of you already doing this, great! You’re a clever one, aren’t you? Think of some other things you could outsource or improve. Maybe your website could use a facelift. Perhaps you could hire a freelance writer to produce regular newsletters informing your clients of important tax deadlines and changes.

You get the idea. Improve your image, improve your appeal, improve your profitability. It’s like the underpants gnome meme but without the ambiguous “???” step. And it’s a win-win for you because it frees you up to focus on more important things than scheduling tweets.

Referrals

While we’re on the topic of marketing, referrals are an excellent way to get the word out without a whole lot of effort on your part. You’re already doing the hard part, that is, providing excellent service to your clients. Now let clients return the favor. They are probably already talking about you when a friend asks them “hey, I need an accountant do you know anyone?”

Plant the seed in clients’ minds that you appreciate referrals, and maybe give them a few extra business cards to hand out if needed. You can offer an incentive if you want, such as a discount on services, but often just nicely asking for referrals is incentive enough. If they’re happy with you–and they must be if you have an ongoing relationship–then they’ll surely spread your name around. Not in that “omg did you see what she wore?” way we spread things around in high school, I mean telling their friends they know someone who does an awesome job.

Reduce expenses

Alright, so just two items ago this article said “hire someone to do your social media” and reducing expenses sounds like the exact opposite of that because you’ll have to pay this person, but hear us out.

Let’s use streaming services as an example of smart thriftiness. Many people don’t subscribe to all the streaming services at once because who can watch all that TV in a month. No, they rotate. Netflix one month, HBO the next. Are you doing that at your business too? Did you pay for a yearly Adobe subscription two years ago for those three flyers you create a year and forgot about it? That’s a lot of money to throw away for something you aren’t using.

Think about things that you’re paying for that you don’t need to be. Imagine all the office water deliveries that were paid for from 2020-2021 that were never used, for example.

Periodically go through your subscriptions and purchases to figure out where a few pennies can be pinched, focusing, of course, on the things that you aren’t actually using and don’t need. Like that monthly subscription of coffee that’s been stacking up in the break room for two years.

On this subject, think about ways technology can work for you to help reduce expenses. If you’re spending $70 a month on bank transfer fees, for example, consider using Melio to send payments for free.

Raise fees

As you’ve probably noticed by now, we started the list with some fun stuff and now we’re working our way down to more sensitive topics. Chances are you’ve considered raising fees, but you just don’t know how to have those difficult conversations with your customers. You certainly don’t want to do it, especially with long-time clients who might leave to find someone cheaper.

Thing is, your peers are already raising their fees. If they haven’t already, they’re thinking about it or are in the process of initiating the discussion with clients.

It’s an uncomfortable conversation to have for sure but it’s not like you’re doing it for the fun of it. Everyone understands that costs are going up. Have those difficult conversations. The results may surprise you.

Fire clients

Well, we’ve reached the bottom of the list, and fittingly so since saying goodbye to paying clients is probably the last thing on your list, too. If you successfully deployed item #4 then, congratulations, some of your clients probably took care of this one themselves.

Much like eliminating unnecessary expenses, sometimes you need to think about eliminating unnecessary clients. Don’t tell them they are unnecessary, obviously, clients hate that. You can always go with the old “it’s not you, it’s me” that daters have used since the dawn of time. We all know it really is them, but they don’t have to know that.

We bet when you read the line “fire clients” at least a few immediately came to mind. You’ve known for some time that you should sever these relationships, you just didn’t know how or thought maybe with a sufficient amount of coaching these jerks might one day turn into lovely, promptly-paying people with whom you are honored to work. Yeah no.

When you eliminate the most difficult of clients it frees you up to give more of your limited time and energy to the delightful ones. Not to mention it gives you more of those precious, finite resources for yourself and your practice. Aren’t you worth it?

Bill Murray saying "oui" in Groundhog Day

We’ve reached the end of the list and hopefully given you some things to think about and take action on. We know some of these topics can be difficult to mull over, which is all the more reason to take an inventory of your processes (audit pun not intended) and ask yourself if what you’re doing now is really working for you. The sooner you put these profitability ideas to action, the sooner you can get back to the fun stuff.

Fresh off the presses from CNBC, PwC US Chair Tim Ryan just dropped the mic on the talent shortage:

In the headlines, the war for talent is still taking place on two fronts, with a hot labor market still tilted to job seekers even in a cooler economy, and companies testing the power they have post-pandemic to mandate a return to office.

On that second front, though, PWC U.S. Chairman Tim Ryan says the winner has already been declared.

“The war for talent is over. Talent won,” Ryan said at the CNBC Work Summit on Wednesday.

The PWC chairman’s view of this shift in the balance of power between management and labor is key coming from a firm with nearly 300,000 workers, over two-thirds of whom are millennials and represent a departure from the work paradigm built during the baby boomer and Gen X generations.

While there are small pockets of American white collar workers who would welcome a respite from screaming kids and incontinent dogs at home (shout-out to a certain Going Concern team member always regaling us with shitty stories on Zoom calls), a good majority of people have realized that skipping the commute and making your own lunch while working from home is far superior to the pre-Covid office grind.

In an article I posted last week about the costs of working from home in 2022, commenters listed their own back-of-the-envelope math on WFH vs. office. Here are a few choice comments from that article:

  • [T]he commute took 3 hours a day and cost $15 per day in tolls and gas (when. $3 per gallon). That’s three hours to relax and $15 saved every day I work from home.
  • Yeah, what a horrible take on the person who wrote that article [the original Fortune article I referenced, not ours WHEW]. Not factoring in eating out with coworkers, car maintenance for putting on so many more miles, and so much more.
  • While I’m fortunate to have a short commute, gas is $5.60/gal here. Also, I use dry cleaning for my work clothes. That’s a combined daily cost of ~$8. I also am less likely to eat out for lunch when at home. With difference in food costs, I’m saving up to $15/day.
  • My commute was 2 hours, unpaid, per day. Public transit was $100+ per month, private parking was $200+. Sure I’m running my AC a little more but I got a raise, two extra hours back every day, using my own toilet, brewing my own coffee, saving money eating healthier lunches, and don’t have to rent a parking spot downtown. Seems like the real issue is there’s a lot of empty obsolete sky scrapers downtown.

That’s…*wriggles fingers*…a lot of money!

When I worked in CPA review many, many years ago my commute was about an hour and a half one way from the outskirts of San Francisco to our office in North Beach. Mind you, I LOVED the office. We had team lunch on Fridays, someone was always bringing in homemade baked goods and snacks, the coffee was free and strong, and my colleague and I who shared an office both loved EDM so we’d just jam out all day (Ida Corr vs Fedde Le Grand “Let Me Think About It” was on repeat all hours of the workday). But I had to take two buses and a BART ride (four buses and two BART rides in total) not to mention needing to delicately step over any number of human fluids to get to work (Bay Area readers know exactly what I’m talking about). No one wants that, no matter how much they actually like being at the office. The commute, I mean.

Time — not questionable fluids on city streets — continues to be a huge reason why people don’t want to go to the office. No one ever enjoyed commuting, except maybe a couple people who hate their home lives and value the solitude of a daily commute as it allows them to listen to gangsta rap without the wife laughing at how absurd it is for a 45-year-old dude from the ‘burbs to blast N.W.A. For the most part NO ONE likes commuting. The time you spend doing it is just…gone. You don’t get paid for it and actually, it costs you money. What kind of nutjob would enjoy getting charged to do something they hate?

As hybrid working arrangements continue to be pushed by middle managers who desperately need to physically observe their underlings at their desks in order to feel like anyone is getting any work done, those who are making the trek back to the office a couple days a week are coming to a not-so-shocking realization: the office sucks.

Here’s Vox’s Recode on why hybrid work isn’t working:

For now, many employees are just noticing the hassle of the office, even if they’re going in way less than they did pre-pandemic. This is what’s known as the hybrid model, and even though people like the remote work aspect of it, for many it’s still unclear what the office part of it is for.

“If I go into the office and there are people but none of them are on my team, I don’t gain anything besides a commute,” Mathew, who works at a large payroll company in New Jersey, said. “Instead of sitting at my own desk, I’m sitting at a desk in Roseland.”

Mathew’s company is asking people to come in three days a week, but he says people are mostly showing up two.

Further complicating things is that, while the main reason hybrid workers cite for wanting to go into the office is to see colleagues, they also don’t want to be told when to go in, according to Nicholas Bloom, a Stanford professor who, along with other academics, has been conducting a large, ongoing study of remote workers called WFH Research.

Then there’s the problem of culture. You know, that thing leaders say people want and can only get from seeing each other’s happy faces in a commercially-leased office building. It all sounds great on paper — and I say this as an extrovert who does actually enjoy the company of other human beings sometimes, there’s something pleasant about in-person collaborating when it happens — but so far return to office is striking out in that regard, too. People are staggering in and out like a bunch of hobos rather than warmly collaborating like the imaginary teams of stock photos.

Colleagues Shaking each other's Hands
There isn’t even anything written on those post-it notes! Phonies. I bet that guy isn’t even typing anything on his laptop either.

People are starting to notice that real life isn’t like stock photos, we’ve seen the Wizard behind the curtain, blah blah some other movie reference about finding out things aren’t as they appear I could make here if I watched more movies.

Those who want to be remote are upset because they enjoyed working from home and don’t understand why, after two years of doing good work there, they have to return to the office. People who couldn’t wait to go back are not finding the same situation they enjoyed before the pandemic, with empty offices and fewer amenities. Those who said they prefer hybrid — 60 percent of office workers — are not always getting the interactions with colleagues they’d hoped for.

So even people who like the office don’t like the office. We took the red pill and can’t get shoved back into The Matrix again.

There’s also a disconnect between why employees think they’re being called in. Employees cite their company’s sunk real estate investments, their bosses’ need for control, and their middle managers’ raison d’etre. Employers, meanwhile, think going into the office is good for creativity, innovation, and culture building. Nearly 80 percent of employees think they’ve been just as or more productive than they were before the pandemic, while less than half of leaders think so, according to Microsoft’s Work Trends Index.

The Recode piece recognizes that there is a small segment of hybrid workers who both prefer WFH and crave office interaction, specifically those early-career Gen Zers who graduated into the pandemic and have been struggling to learn the ropes without the same in-person support their predecessors had pre-2020. We’ll talk about that on another day.

For now, the office is clearly losing the hybrid work war. With employers scared to run people off in this workers’ market it would be in their best interest not to stir up the hornets’ nest on return to office. Or, you know, whatever, keep forcing people who owe you nothing to do things they don’t want to do for no reason when there are tons of other places they could work for instead who aren’t so eager to shove people back into glittering downtown prison cells.

The post Terrible Manager Thinks Constant Employee Surveillance Equals Work-Life Balance appeared first on Going Concern.

In this still-new world of virtual work for office drones everywhere, it’s inevitable that some people find the adjustment to work-from-home harder than others. For some people, their issues revolved around muddy work schedules and a crumbling routine. For others, however, work-from-home exposed one basic fact that has probably been known for quite some time but never acknowledged: some managers have no business managing.

Any of us who have ever worked from home in any capacity under the thumb of bad management know that we’re often expected to justify our output through constant communication. After all, in the mind of a bad manager you can’t possibly be working if they can’t physically observe your butt in an office chair in front of a monitor. So a flood of emails, texts, and instant messages are the next best thing. God forbid you’re taking a shit when that 25th message comes through asking for the status on an item you gave the status on yesterday. Good managers know the work is done because, well, the work is done but the bad ones need a little more than that. The really bad ones need even more.

When I saw this letter to The Cut’s Ask a Boss column yesterday, I immediately thought of the many complaints we’ve heard over the years about bad management in public accounting.

My boss has announced that while we’re all working from home, the entire company will now be spending the whole work day on a Zoom call with video. He framed it as being for our benefit: useful for “establishing a work-life balance” and so we can “see our co-workers and feel like we’re back in the office.” Plus, it’s supposedly so we can “ask questions without having to take meetings.” While we are a small company, most of the people I work with already worked in another location before we went remote, and none of us do similar work. I can think of no world where this is helpful or anything but highly distracting.

But don’t worry, we are still allowed to have bathroom breaks and get snacks (wow, thanks so much!), though the majority of our work day should be spent in this weird online room with video and we are supposed to be “dressed for work.” It is obviously insulting and a poorly disguised attempt to micromanage. It’s especially frustrating because during this time I have taken on additional responsibilities and my output has increased.

The irony here being that Bad Manager frames this NSA-like intrusion with work-life balance. You’re lonely! You miss the office! Look, we can all be together like a family from the hours of 9-5 or actually more like 8-7:30 on a good day. Also, don’t forget to wear pants.

Considering even literal children currently doing homeschool aren’t required to sit in front of their monitors with the camera on for eight hours a day, it really makes no sense to treat working adults like the next April the Giraffe. This isn’t a traffic cam, it’s a living, breathing human. A human who, I may remind you, your company hired at some point to perform tasks for you in exchange for money. Unless their cubicle was under constant surveillance back when people were still in the office (which… well… that would be a whole other issue), leave them the hell alone at home. Yes, there may be some screwing around. Hell, someone might even — gasp — take a nap in the middle of the afternoon. As long as the work is getting done WHO CARES.

The Cut response properly identifies this paranoia as a them problem, as in managers who were already bad to begin with were absolutely terrified by work-from-home as it further exposed their inability to measure output, other than “person in chair” = work being done. Unless your job involves assembling widgets at a factory (and let’s be real, even then factory managers can measure output by widget rather than by individual employees being in their expected places), hours in chair rarely translates to quantity of work completed.

Writes The Cut:

Irritatingly, yours isn’t the first letter I’ve received about managers with this video requirement since the pandemic started. These are managers who probably weren’t especially skilled at leading teams when everyone was in the same location, and now that people are at home, they’re freaking out. They genuinely don’t know how to ensure people are working or how to hold them accountable from afar, so they’ve settled on “I will watch you all day long” as a substitute. (And in case there’s any doubt, the way you know if people are working is by paying attention to their output. Is work getting done? Are goals being met? If so, you can safely trust that your staff isn’t just filming TikTok videos all day.)

We hope every bad manager reading this has a moment of clarity and realizes if you don’t trust your staff, that’s on you. And if you even for a second considered implementing always-on video as a way of ensuring you’re getting the output you want, well your firm is bad too for promoting you rather than giving you the boot years ago when it became obvious that you have no idea how to lead a team.

The post Busting 4 Myths About Remote Accounting Work appeared first on Going Concern.

]]>
You already know by now the remote revolution is upon us. Workers are embracing work from home options and flooding to the gig economy in droves. According to a 2017 report, 3.9 million employees currently work from home at least half the time. That’s a 115% increase in remote workers since 2005.

But misconceptions about remote work permeate the phenomenon. Popular opinion seems to be that most remote workers are millennials, but the average age of telecommuters is 46 years-old.

Let’s bust a few more remote work myths and fallacies in the accounting industry. Because according to the Ghostbusters theme song, bustin’ makes you feel good. And Ray Parker Jr. would never lie to us, even if he did borrow a few things from Huey Lewis.

MYTH #1: Remote workers are less productive

It seems intuitive enough: when you’re working remotely, you don’t have the boss looking over your shoulder and you’re surrounded by endless distractions. That should lead to less work getting done, right?

Not necessarily. A study featured in  the Harvard Business Review showed that workers at one business were 13.5% more productive when some remote work was permitted.

The reason? One-third of respondents said they got more done because their home is a quieter, less distracting environment. The other two-thirds cited the lack of a commute, fewer meetings, not running errands during lunch, and fewer sick days.

So the next time your boss tells you working from home is lazy, tell him Harvard says otherwise.

MYTH #2: Working remotely is lonely

Here’s a remote work myth that concerns you far more than your boss–will working remotely turn you into hoarding homebound hermit, stepping outside only to yell at kids to get off your lawn?

Probably not. If your firm is doing remote work right, you’ll still be in regular contact with your team through Slack, video conferencing, and project management sites like Asana and Wrike.

And you’ll still very much be “part of the team” (whether you like it or not.) A Gallup poll found that employees who telecommute most of the time actually feel more connected to each other and to the business than their in-office counterparts.

MYTH #3: Working remotely makes it impossible to shift out of “work-mode”

One of the advantages of working at an office is the physical separation between work life and home life. When you get home after a busy day, you can shift into “home-mode” easily, kicking off your shoes and enjoying a nice Netflix binge without an ounce of guilt.

When you start working from home, that barrier can fall away. You might feel like you’re always in “work-mode,” and that trying to enjoy yourself creates anxiety because you feel like there’s something you need to be doing.

While this obstacle is certainly real, the perception that’s it’s insurmountable is a remote work myth. There are many ways you can keep work life and home life separate when working remotely. Here are a few ideas:

  • Don’t work from home. Choose a quiet spot like a library or hotel lobby instead.
  • Rent out a colocation office space. These are becoming more ubiquitous and many are surprisingly cheap.
  • Block off an area of the house as your workspace. Set strict limits–only work can be done in this room, and this is the only room where work can be done.
  • Turn your phone off or put it in “no distraction” mode when relaxing. Taking it easy gets easier when you don’t hear the constant ding of new emails and messages.

MYTH #4: Remote workers never get promoted

This remote work myth actually can be true at firms that don’t have solid work-from-home policies. If you find yourself in that situation, encourage your bosses to implement better procedures ASAP.

The key to getting promoted when working remotely is project management software. If your firm isn’t using it, start insisting that they do. These apps keep track of the work you’ve done on every project, making it far easier for you to build a case for a promotion.

You probably will have to be a bit more proactive than an in-office employee–many remote workers do suffer from the “out of sight, out of mind” problem. But if you have quality project management software to back you up, it shouldn’t be hard to demonstrate your hard work and make a strong argument for a bump in pay or a higher position.

We thought about bringing in Adam and Jamie from Mythbusters to weigh in, but those guys are super expensive. There are many other myths out there about remote work, but you’ll have to bust ‘em on your own–for now, anyway.

For more information on how your firm can take the first steps in building a remote workforce, check out Amanda and her Bluewire Strategy co-founder, Ryan Watson, recorded webinar: Five Things You Need to Build a Remote Workforce (And It’s Not Just Technology) on May 21. View this recording for free here.

In 2012, I started an accounting firm, although I didn’t realize that I was starting an accounting firm at the time. I was merely working under contract for a few businesses in the New Orleans area; as I got busier, I started to add help, and voila, Aguillard Accounting was born. Like everyone I knew, I hired locally. I went out and leased the most amazing office space I had ever seen. I started with two interns and spent time training them in my beautiful office. My next hire was a staff accountant, and within a year, I added an administrative assistant.

It reduces overhead

Eventually, the interns left for bigger firms in bigger cities and my staff accountant moved with her husband to a new job. When my administrative assistant declared that she would be heading to law school, I took a long, hard look at our needs. We had two contractors in other cities working on projects already; they weren’t employees, but they worked as seamlessly as if they were. The administrative assistant’s duties were almost exclusively related to managing an office space that no one came to. Around the same time, I decided to give up my tax practice and focus on monthly accounting and software integrations, which is my love. My clients were across the country, and my local clients rarely came to the office. This was the final decision that led to downsizing our physical office space. I have saved $45,000 a year by moving to a one-room office about six blocks from my home in a shared building, and letting my staff work from home or coffee shops.

I find more qualified staff

I run a strictly Xero firm. When I started looking for bookkeepers in 2013, I could not find any in the New Orleans area that were Xero-certified and had experience. I finally found a bookkeeper in the Philippines where there is a lot of outsourcing to New Zealand and Australia, much bigger Xero markets. Since then, Xero help has been easier to find in the U.S., but I have still looked outside Louisiana to find the best candidates, looking for specific skill sets that aren’t common, like cloud-based app integration and process experience.

While it sounds a bit counterintuitive, remote staff can’t fake their ability, because their work product is the sole grounds on which they are judged. In an office, there can be an appearance of “being busy” or social politicking that clouds true merit, but in a remote environment, my employee’s output is what I see.

It empowers parents

I’m a single mom and built my firm so I could be available to my children. It is important to me that I have the kind of firm that gives other parents the same opportunity. Whether it is starting the workday an hour late, so I could attend a school ceremony with my son (which I did this morning) or being able to stay home if a child is sick, I believe in ultimate flexibility. Being a parent is hard enough, and I don’t want my employees to have to choose between work and family. The result is that I get engaged, committed staff who are incredibly efficient in their work.

    ‘Tis the Season to Hire Seasonal CPAs https://www.goingconcern.com/seasonal-cpas-freelance-accountants/ https://www.goingconcern.com/seasonal-cpas-freelance-accountants/#comments Mon, 04 Dec 2017 20:01:17 +0000 http://www.goingconcern.com/?p=81946 I’ve always been jealous of workers in professions who get automatic breaks built into their […]

    The post ‘Tis the Season to Hire Seasonal CPAs appeared first on Going Concern.

    ]]>
    I’ve always been jealous of workers in professions who get automatic breaks built into their schedules. Teachers are more excited when school is out for summer than the students. But, did you know that public accounting has a pseudo-equivalent? Seasonal work. Whether it is audit or tax, there are lots of jobs floating around this time of year that offer 4-5 months on the job, and the rest of the year off.

    Seasonal work is great because you can dip your toe back into the water without worrying about signing your life away. There will always be an end date when you can pat your piggy bank and go on your merry way.

    So, who is a seasonal worker? Typically, it’s an experienced CPA who got fed up with public accounting and took some time off to lick their wounds or enjoy their life more. As a caveat, I prefer not to lump interns into the mix as seasonal workers, even though, technically, they are included in the generic definition. Why? Well, interns are thirsty for a full-time offer and are excited just to make any money to pay off those student loans and paint the town red each weekend. Who cares if their inexperience means relatively low pay?. Since their motivations and, um, enthusiasm for working is not representative of the more experienced group of CPAs, we’ll leave them out.

    Based on a straw poll, seasonal work in public accounting ranges from part-time (typically 30-40 hours a week) to brain-numbing, “Why did I decide this was a good idea?” 70-hour work weeks. Even though there are part-time roles advertised, I’d wager that it’s rarely 20 hours per week for long. As the work snowballs, you’ll get asked to do more. But, firms need to treat their seasonal folks well if they want to see them again the next year.

    Retention gimmicks, like bonus vesting, are not applicable and after investing in training, it would behoove firms to accommodate these seasonal folks. If you play it right, you might even make more per hour than if you worked all year without overtime (we’ve done the math before).

    The Journal of Accountancy chimed in on the need for supplemental staff as a way to “deliver a high-quality product without burning out your current staff,” and Renee Fulton, CPA, CGMA warned that “If you don’t handle it properly, you can hurt yourself and lose your current workers.”

    Speaking of those current workers — they’re bound to get a little jealous. Why not offer them a sabbatical during the off-season? I recall that KPMG has one and I’m sure some of the other firms do as well. Here’s what a Big 4 sabbatical looks like:

    KPMG’s Sabbatical program allows employees to take up to three months off at 20% of regular base salary while maintaining employment status, seniority and full benefits, including regular PTO accrual. Whether you want to pursue a passion, further your education, spend time with family, serve your community or simply do something you enjoy, KPMG’s flexibility gives you the opportunity to do it all.

    Naturally, there’s a catch. You have to return to work for at least as long as you were gallivanting around. For instance, if you took three months off, you’re committed to three months when you get back. No quitting, or else.

    This Reddit guy indicated there’s something similar at PwC:

    I’ve done it – I took two months off work from PwC last year to travel with my girlfriend. I think it helped that I had a good working relationship with the partner who I worked with most often. In of our regular coffee meetings I brought it up and he was totally cool with it, he said people do it all the time.

    But, one guy also pointed out:

    It’s 20% of your salary. In a perfect world PWC wishes everybody would work Jan-April for full pay (about $20k) and they could buy out the rest of your year for $8k… They’re getting busy season covered for McDonald’s pay.

    In essence, both function the same way. Firms enjoy reduced payroll expenses during the off-season and skilled labor when they need it. The main difference is that seasonal workers don’t have the strings attached when they return to work. Just don’t have a parasailing accident on your extended vacation from public accounting. Seasonal workers often don’t get health insurance, but that shouldn’t stop you. Although it’s enough for some to make a sabbatical more appealing.

    And, for the accountants that just need a hit of public accounting to wet their whistle — now’s your chance to get while the gettin’ is good. Flexjobs.com is a good resource to find these jobs and of course, GC’s very own Gigs.

    The Number of Women Partners in Accounting Firms Is Still Abysmal https://www.goingconcern.com/aicpa-cpa-firm-gender-study-partners/ https://www.goingconcern.com/aicpa-cpa-firm-gender-study-partners/#comments Thu, 30 Nov 2017 20:51:04 +0000 http://www.goingconcern.com/?p=81864 Earlier this month, the AICPA Women’s Initiatives Executive Committee (WIEC) issued its second CPA Firm […]

    Earlier this month, the AICPA Women’s Initiatives Executive Committee (WIEC) issued its second CPA Firm Gender Study and its findings are not encouraging.

    The survey found that partnership on average remains overwhelmingly male. The current survey shows little change from studies done in years past, which have typically found less than one-quarter of the partnership ranks made up of women.

    That “overwhelmingly male” breakdown is 78%/22% for men and women. The survey drills down further by firm size:

    This does compare well to the previous survey in 2015:

    These numbers were little changed from the 2015 survey results, when women represented 20% of partners at the largest firms, 27% at firms with 21 to 99 CPAs, 39% at firms with 11 to 20 CPAs, and 43% at firms with 2 to 10.

    Yes, you’re reading those numbers correctly; the numbers from 2017 are largely worse than those from 2015. These trends are even worse when you consider the disparity of equity partners within these firms as well:

    women cpa firms gender survey 2

    As you can see, and as the report states, the larger the firm, the greater the gap. Also of note, the survey cites another study, the PCPS/CPA.com National Management of an Accounting Practice (MAP) survey, that found that parity between men and women existed at nearly every level of a traditional firm, from associate to non-equity partner/director. However, that parity craters at the equity level. Perhaps in a few years, the numbers will start to spill over into the partner ranks, but nothing in the report suggests that’s what’s about to happen.

    Gail Perry is a member of the WIEC and she says that while “there always seems to be disappointment that there aren’t more women partners,” she’s “not sure it is supposed to be equal” at the partner level. “Our society pressures men to be the breadwinners,” and “to fight for those leadership positions,” otherwise “they’re seen as failures,” she says. “The same pressure doesn’t exist for women.”

    The pressure for women is different, however, most notably “to have it all” (even CEOs of Big 4 firms). This implies having a successful career of some measure, but also keeping family a high priority. When Dad misses a soccer game, no one bats an eye, but if Mom does, that’s when society considers her a failure.

    Study after study has found that businesses perform better with more women in leadership positions. With a bigger pool of resources (i.e., including more women) the chances of success are that much greater. And yet the gender diversity — diversity, period — at the top of the accounting profession remains elusive.

    The post Hysterical Client Comments on Yelp, Facebook, Et al. Should Not Go Unanswered appeared first on Going Concern.

    ]]>
    Yelp, like most social platforms, has its pros and cons. It’s great for all kinds of businesses to get their name out there, and not just restaurants. I found my co-working space on Yelp. I found a garage door service company on Yelp. I found a gas fireplace technician on Yelp. Do you need a cat groomer who also offers respectable tax advice? That business is probably and Yelp and you can learn if it’s worth a damn or not.

    However, a breathless, preposterous Yelp review can tarnish a business’s reputation unfairly. These are most common on restaurant reviews; if a server looks away from the wrong Yelper just a little too quickly, this can result in a 2,000 word screed about how the server “Ignored our table the entire evening” and that the reviewer “Wouldn’t return to this dump with a gun to my head.”

    Anyway, I mentioned a story of a California tax preparer a couple weeks back who sued Yelp to obtain the identity of a user who wrote a defamatory review. This prompted a reader to write in about his firm’s own Yelp misadventure:

    Earlier this year, a client went onto Yelp to complain about the quality of our services provided to her. Fortunately for us, she also posted the same review word-for-word on our Facebook page. As a result, we were able to look into what happened and you’ll be shocked to know the client was largely in the wrong.

    At this point, our tipster said that the situation was made only slightly worse by a willful partner. The tale continues:

    Long story short, she (and her husband) failed to provide a 1099 to us, so some income was excluded from their return. The husband realized the mistake two months after they filed, and they asked us to fix it. We said that since it was their fault (the husband admitted he forgot to give us the 1099 in question), we would be charging them to amend the return. This sent the woman into a rage, and after several heated emails back and forth, she did the rational thing and took her complaints to the internet.

    There’s nothing quite like a client who takes “The customer is always right” to the extent that they discharge themselves of any responsibility or competence. This is especially effective on the internet where you can bitch endlessly about the injustice you’ve suffered merely because you can.

    Accounting firms depend on their reputation to secure their clients but also as a matter of winning new ones. If a bad review like this one goes unchallenged, then what’s lost is virtually unmeasurable. You’d think that most firms would mount a vigorous defense of their honor, but in my experience, many are scared stiff to respond. As if responding to allegations somehow makes them valid or shows weakness.

    This firm, fortunately, did not go gentle into that good night. Here’s our tipster’s conclusion:

    In any case, had she not posted on Facebook we likely wouldn’t have been able to respond in any way to the allegation, leaving our reputation out there twisting in the wind, but we were able to respond on both platforms (Yelp and Facebook) with our side of the story.

    How each firm responds to its online nemesis is a matter of preference. Of course, if you know the identity of the client, you could always call them up and talk to them in IRL, but if that sort of personal touch makes you nervous, there are other options.

    A ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ may suffice, however, this could be perceived as slapdash or flippant. If you offer your side of the story, be sure not to match the emotional tone of the OP, so not to come off defensive. And if you did screw up and the scorned client is right, try apologizing. That’s usually a decent way to go. But don’t ignore a (seemingly) serious complaint. The internet is forever, you know.

    Have you had a confrontation with a client online? How did you handle it? Share the gory details below or email us the story.

    Remote working is on the rise. In 2016, 22% of American employees did at least some of their work from home. And for those with advanced degrees over the age of 25, the number is even higher—a full 43% reported working remotely at least some of the time.

    It may feel natural to some accounting firms to resist this trend. After all, how can you monitor your employees and their workflow if you can’t physically see them?

    But embracing remote CPAs and accountants can have a positive effect on your bottom line and your ability to achieve business goals. Here are four ways the remote work trend can improve your business.

    Reduced overhead costs

    When employees provide their own workspaces and technology, the cost savings for businesses can be substantial. Companies can maintain a smaller office—or even no office at all—cutting down on rent and equipment costs. Remote work can also slash your IT budget, as you may not need to purchase and manage as many computers, smartphones, routers, etc.

    “Companies have caught on that not only are their employees happier being able to work remotely, but that it also saves them money,” says Patti Scharf, Co-Founder, and COO, Catching Clouds.

    More competitive recruiting

    Today’s accountants know that with the ubiquity of connected technology, they can perform much if not all of their work from anywhere. More and more, the best talent is valuing the ability to work remotely in their career decisions.

    “Employees are asking why they can’t work from home, and that’s putting pressure on companies to offer alternatives to remain competitive,” says Scharf.

    Millennials are even more likely to seek a position that allows them to telecommute. A 2015 study showed that 68 percent of college grads would weight a potential job more favorably if the company allowed remote work at least some of the time.

    Accountingfly keeps an eye on what happens in the accounting labor market, and in 2016, a remote CPA job got 7 TIMES more applicants than an in-the-office CPA job on Accountingfly.

    Today’s talent is valuing remote work and a stronger work/life balance. And if you’re not paying attention to this, then they won’t pay attention to you.

    More effective business strategy

    With employees working in a physical office, it’s easy for managers to get distracted by factors that don’t affect the bottom line. For instance, it’s almost impossible for the boss not to notice who shows up on time and who leaves early, regardless of those workers’ performance.

    “It can be painful for a lot of companies and managers to have to shift to paying attention to metrics that matter,” says Scharf. “When a company has remote workers, they have to get extremely clear about their expectations and how they’re going to measure performance, and they need to be able to effectively communicate those expectations to their employees.”

    According to Scharf, this shift in strategy can be cumbersome, but the results are worth it. “It’s a very difficult dynamic to master, but if a company can do it successfully, the rewards are great,” says Scharf.

    Better employee engagement

    Strange as it sounds, remote employees are often more engaged with co-workers and supervisors than their in-office counterparts. According to Harvard Business Review, 87 percent of remote workers feel more connected through the use of video conferencing. We can only offer conjecture as to why this is, but perhaps the comfort and freedom of working from anywhere helps employees connect with each other more openly and honestly.

    To Most Accounting Students, Small Accounting Firms Don’t Exist https://www.goingconcern.com/accounting-students-small-accounting-firms/ https://www.goingconcern.com/accounting-students-small-accounting-firms/#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2017 20:53:03 +0000 http://www.goingconcern.com/?p=75165 Here’s a fun article by Marc Rosenberg about “how totally uninformed young accountants are about […]

    Here’s a fun article by Marc Rosenberg about “how totally uninformed young accountants are about CPA firms.” Now, you might think that this is one of those condescending KIDS TODAY posts, but it’s actually pretty self-aware. Rosenberg offers a picture of a profession that has an enormous perception problem, citing some pretty surprising examples. He quizzed some interns about aspects and here’s a look at the results:

    There are 30 local CPA firms in metro Chicago with 30 or more personnel. Name 5 besides the six sponsoring firms of this program.

    Result:  9 of the 11 interns could not name even one firm.  The other two named one firm each.

    Message to local firms:  Almost no one on college campuses knows who you are.  If you want to attract the best and the brightest, you better get active on campuses.

    If you’re an intern, this isn’t a big deal. It’s possible, maybe even likely, for those six firms to hire those eleven interns, so they don’t need to know the names of any other firms. On the other hand, this is an atrocious result for any of the other 20+ firms in the Chicago area.

    Here are a couple more fun quiz question results:

    How many total work hours a year do you think a typical staff person at a CPA firm works?
    Intern’s response:  2,600, almost 20% higher than the actual of 2,241.

    Rosenberg writes, “The CPA firm industry is stuck with an undeserved reputation as sweat-shops,” and you can blame the Big 4 for that. They are sweatshops and a lot of small accounting firms have partners whose entire careers are built on that kind of culture.

    Then there’s this doozy:

    How much do you think typical local CPA firm partners in Chicago earn?
    Intern response:  $184,000 – that’s not a misprint!  Actual in 2015 was $410,000.

    Whoa, now that could be an issue.

    Since I’m one to point fingers, I’ll gladly put the blame for these misconceptions on the firms’ leaders. The vast majority of accounting students don’t know what the hell they’re doing. They ended up in this field either because they “like math” or because their parents recommended it. That’s the extent of their knowledge. But I suspect accounting firms are full of partners who believe their exemplary work speaks for itself and should magically attract in the best and brightest talent in all the land.

    That wishful thinking has resulted in the situation that exists now: A bunch of small accounting firms who claim there’s a dearth of talent when in fact there’s talent everywhere. To some of these firms, the situation calls for its own throwback episode of Unsolved Mysteries. WHERE IS THE TALENT? WHY DID THE TALENT DISAPPEAR? WILL THE TALENT EVER RETURN? CAN WE STILL CONTACT THE TALENT?

    Small accounting firms need to take their cues from the Big 4 on this. The Big 4 have been yapping about how great they are to professors for decades, so naturally the professors are yapping to students and the students are yapping to each other. It’s all Big 4 yapping all the time. Until small firms get used to talking about themselves, no accounting students will either; and the only thing worse than everyone talking about you, is no one talking about you.

    A recent survey of accounting firm partners from the CPA Consultants' Alliance found that over half of respondents (51.7%) said procrastination or denial was a primary cause for firms' succession troubles. Another 48.3% of respondents also said that "Lack of future leadership talent" was a primary cause of succession issues.

    So, some firms have better things to do, some firms are sticking their heads in the sand and some firms lack the "bench strength."

    Here's the full chart from the NJCPA:

    It bears repeating that the "lack" of talent is misleading. There's talent everywhere, as the enrollment and graduation numbers from the past decade have proven. it just so happens that all this talent have found opportunities that are much, much better than working for an accounting firm that has had the same business model for 30 years, has only one career path and has questionable prospects for the future

    The "leadership talent" that these firms want does not exist. It's a figment of their imagination. As soon as the current leadership accepts that, they can start making their firms relevant again and then maybe some potential successors will start appearing.
