Perfecting Your Small Firm Practice
Whether you're a small firm or a large one, becoming more efficient is always important, maybe even more so these days for smaller firms. Some experts believe that smaller accounting/consulting firms, those with less resources and limited budgets, that don’t manage their practice electronically will be hard pressed to survive. There are many ways to manage a practice electronically, but using practice management software is probably the most practical and cost effective. The following article discusses the benefits of practice management software, features and functionality that practice management software offers, and how to calculate a realistic ROI for your firm if you were to purchase a new practice management system.
Ideas in Motion: Real-Life CPA Firm Disaster Preparedness Techniques: Bourgeois Bennett Rides out Hurricane Katrina
Just about every company these days thinks about disasters and how they may affect their business if they occur. Many even have emergency plans put in place so that if a disaster strikes they will be ready to get their business back in operation as quickly as possible. Fortunately, disasters are very rare and most of us have never even had to put our disaster plans to the test. This month, however, we had the rare opportunity to sit down with the owner of a large Louisiana CPA firm to find out how their disaster recovery plan fared through Katrina and Rita and what worked, what didn't and what they would do differently next time.
Ideas in Motion is a monthly column designed to focus on best practices within CPA firms and organizations involved in providing technology related services.
