presidential post-election survey: why accountants voted the way they did

december 1, 2016

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

how accountants voted and why.

by rick telberg
卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

the 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 post-election survey shows accountants split by different issues. trump accountants tend to be most concerned about terrorism while clinton accountants are more focused on global warming.

part of the spread might be explained by gender. just as the accounting profession tends to be owned and operated by more men than women, 67.7 percent of 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 respondents were men – and roughly the same ratio of votes for trump over clinton. the demographics of the tax and accounting profession’s practice owners and leaders — the core of the 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 community — tend to match voting patterns beyond the profession. in that, accountants vote more like, well, voters, than accountants.

in 2015, from a technology perspective, we saw traditional firms becoming increasingly comfortable with adoption of cloud-based technologies, many by first outsourcing their outlook with hosted microsoft exchange, which proved that the cost and expanded capabilities were better than what firms could do themselves.

there were two primary reasons for their growth. first, many did more mergers than the year before, and second, they were acquiring more business advisory firms. one client told me that “they had enough accounting work and didn’t want any more, but would certainly be interested in acquiring a consulting firm.”

many firms are increasing the amount of consulting offerings and billings. a number of firms, however, are continuing to struggle with how to play more of an advisory role with clients, which requires a paradigm shift in many ways. this is necessary because firms are struggling with how to differentiate themselves from their competitors with respect to traditional services, and are competing on price.

quantum of paperless

many firms today maintain contact information within multiple applications such as practice management, outlook, tax systems and other marketing and crm (customer relationship management) programs.

too often, a significant amount of time is wasted in firms pulling contact information together, reconciling and verifying lists for mailings, invitations, and even organizers. it is critical that firms centralize the updating of contact information for consistency.

“91 percent of firms have a centralized contact management list; 67 percent of firms maintained this list in their practice management application.” – cpafma 2015 survey

for example, tax personnel, who are often the first to be made aware of a change, may make the change within their tax program and not pass the change to others. all changes, from every source, need to be sent to administration where one person can update all databases for consistency. many firms utilize a client contact form on their intranet that can be routed to the administrative department via email. this person is then trained to update all applications.

survey results: most accountants see better business outlook following presidential election

november 17, 2016

by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

trump voters more positive. clinton voters, not so much.

the accountants’ business outlook
join the survey. get the answers

by rick telberg
卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

tax and accounting professionals appear to be breathing a sigh of relief following the u.s. presidential election, with most saying their confidence in the business outlook for their firms and their clients has been strengthened, according to a new 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 survey of more than 700 accountants.

but their economic mood also seems to depend on their political mood.

more than 80 percent of the accountants who voted for republican donald trump feel “more confident” about the business outlook for their firms and their clients. less than 5 percent of democrat hillary clinton voters agree. instead, more than 60% of clinton voters feel “less confident.”

nearly a third of hillary backers—31 percent—are optimistic enough to foresee no change in the business outlook. only 14 percent of trump people were pessimistic enough to expect no change.
