by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research

the scarcity of qualified professionals makes talent retention more important than ever. it’s far easier and less costly to keep current people on board than to attract and onboard new people.

the disruptors
with liz farr
chase birky wanted “a better way to cpa,” so he and co-founder max fritz created dark horse – the “anti-cpa firm,” which would be “the opposite of what a client would expect of a cpa firm, of what talent expects of a cpa firm.” dark horse democratizes access to the resources, tools, and technology available to larger firms so sole practitioners and small firms have an easier path to the modern cpa firm.

dark horse was born out of the realization that small businesses were underserved by their accountants. many small business owners have “these horror stories about the large firm that deprioritizes them and charges them an arm and a leg, or the one-off practitioner or micro firm that wouldn’t return their emails or phone calls, and never provides advice, just tells them to sign on the dotted line,” birky says.
