survey preview: the cpa optimism index results

business isn’t bad. in fact it may be better than some other parts of the typical professional’s life these days.

early results from the optimism index suggest that at mid-year 2005, accountants and financial managers are:

1… most optimistic about the future of their own businesses…

2… demand and price elasticity look favorable…

3… so far, so good in 2005…

4… but about 1 in 4 people are happier in their jobs than they were a year ago…

5… demographics — the survey results are weighted toward high-ranking owners and managers in small firms in public practice…
