in a world where virtual conferences have become the norm, it’s easy to question the value of attending in-person events. however, professionals like donny shimamoto, liz mason, and byron patrick argue that face-to-face interactions still hold immense importance in building meaningful, lasting relationships.

the trio share their experiences attending conferences over the years, reflecting on why meeting people in person makes all the difference. patrick, vice president of client success at the b3 method institute and ceo of verifyiq, emphasizes the power of spontaneous connections, saying, “the number of people that i have met and built relationships with from those random moments…that does not happen virtually.”

“leaders have to be more intentional about connecting and showing that they care,” havens continues, “and when you do that, then your team members do that with each other, and then they do it with clients, and all of a sudden clients turn into real raving cheerleaders, and all of a sudden this firm has double-digit growth every year.”

the disruptors
with liz farr
alan whitman wants to break the mold of public accounting. he wants to end the billable hour and the siloed practices that characterize how many firms have operated for decades. as whitman says, “we’re here to serve clients, we’re here to deliver great value. but do we really need to do it the way we’ve been doing it since before my father was in the workforce?”

while “most firms believe that billable hours are the holy grail,” whitman points out that “the client isn’t necessarily buying billable hours.” instead, clients buy the outcomes and “the intellectual capital you’re delivering to them.” he believes that “the firm that can shift from production, from billable hours to outcomes, is going to win.”
as ceo of baker tilly, he pushed through changes that tripled the firm’s size and increased collaboration. like law, medicine, and architecture, accounting is a technician-based profession, and “most of your identity is based on what you do,” which can lead to siloes within a practice. but whitman argues that to deliver the appropriate solutions, “your responsibility is to not only deliver what you can deliver, it’s also to deliver what other people in the organization can deliver,” so the client is “getting what they need to prosper.”

what would work look like if it reflected your passions? “imagine,” says sean duncan, cpa, “if you worked with the people that you loved working with, talking about the things that you love talking about, and you made a living and helped them?” as duncan says, “that’s just freakin’ awesome!”

duncan was working at a large regional firm back in 2006 when he noticed that many small business clients were asking him for advice, but they couldn’t afford the fees of a large firm. so he started his firm out of “kind of this gut feel” of wanting to help those small business clients. over the years, his firm, smd consulting and accounting, has developed a specialty in working with video game developers, a special passion of duncan’s.

center for accounting transformation
for many accounting professionals, the big four firms represent the pinnacle of success—a destination for those with high aspirations. but for rubik yeriazarian, cpa, cfe, cff, they were just the beginning. specializing in forensic accounting, yeriazarian knew from his college days that this was the path he wanted to follow. “back when i was in college, big four were the only firms that offered forensic accounting,” he recalls. “i knew that was my ticket in.”
at the big four, yeriazarian was exposed to complex forensic cases that shaped his career. he learned the ropes in an environment that offered vast resources and support, but something was missing. “you have a lot of support at a big four, but i felt like i needed more hands-on experience,” yeriazarian says. this realization led him to a boutique firm—a move that many of his peers questioned.

ingrid edstrom wants accounting to be not just a more sustainable profession but one that’s regenerative. “this idea of sustainability is really operating from the idea that things can continue to perpetuate as they are,” she explains. a firm may be financially sustainable, “but at what cost to our families, to our personal health?”

the regenerative approach recognizes “that we’ve already passed a threshold of harm that needs to be healed,” edstrom says. “regenerative accounting is starting to reframe those ideas around ‘what does it look like to go about business in a different way that is truly life-supporting for all peoples and our planet, rather than being extractive of our planet and exploitative of our peoples?’”

“more than half of the cpa firms in the country won’t qualify to be part of private equity,” says allan koltin, ceo of koltin consulting, appearing on gear up for growth, a new show hosted by jean caragher, president of capstone marketing, and powered by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间.

part of the discussion explores the criteria private equity companies look for and the challenges firms may face in qualifying for pe funding. koltin believes that more than half of the cpa firms in the country don’t make enough excess profitability to create earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (ebitda) to calculate an acceptable enterprise value.
“leaders of these firms tell me they’ll go back and get more profitable,” says koltin. “how’s about, let’s stay as an independent firm. let’s put a level of governance in. let’s make the tough decisions we’ve been talking about forever, and let’s really run it like a business. let’s not be a 501(c)(3) anymore. let’s just pretend we’re in business to make money.”
