focus on intentional growth

november 26, 2024

one conversation to be had: the distinction between advisors and consultants.

by carrie steffen
the rosenberg national survey of cpa firm statistics

two words come to mind: intentional growth. with leaders making some strategic moves around capacity i feel a general sense of interest in revisiting their strategy around growing the top line. i’m being asked to speak on growth, business development skills and go-to-market strategies more in the next 12 months than i have been in the last several years.

editor’s note: every year, the 2024 rosenberg national survey of cpa firm statistics asks the profession’s top consultants two sets of questions:

- how do you think the next 12 months will unfold? trends? predictions? other thoughts?
- how would you assess the last 12 months? trends? observations? struggles?

have we finally turned a corner on talent challenges? maybe not entirely, but it is encouraging that owners are beginning to think again about investing in growing their businesses. for that majority that means deeper niching and greater focus on pursuing the right opportunities. i’m having a lot of conversations about how to turn down work.

according to a recent story from the information, openai’s next-generation orion model of chatgpt, which is both rumored and denied to be arriving before the end of the year, might not be everything that has been hailed when it does.

according to the report, which quotes unnamed openai staff, the orion model has shown a “far smaller” improvement over its predecessor, gpt-4, than gpt-4 did over gpt-3. according to the same individuals, orion “isn’t reliably better than its predecessor (gpt-4) in handling certain tasks,” particularly coding applications, even though the new model is noticeably better at general language functions like creating emails or summarizing documents.

the disruptors
with liz farr

greg adams believes that accountants’ work opportunities have long been underappreciated and misunderstood. when accountants at parties are asked what they do, adams explained that they always have to give the “but answer,” as in, “i’m an accountant, but i have a really cool job.”

adams himself has spent time in australia and barbados and “had lots of adventures” during his time at kpmg.

his new book, green shade$, is an attempt to dispel the notion of accounting as limited to just tax or audit and “to change the branding and image of accountants.” a fan of jack reacher-type thrillers, adams wrote an accounting book that comes with a warning: “it has a little bit of violence in there and some sexual tension and but even has accounting equations.” the protagonist, dex mccord, jumps off a cliff while dodging bullets, but in his quest to solve the murder of an old accounting friend, he is “aided by at least 10 different types of accountants,” experts in transfer pricing to sec filings.
