let’s face it – accounting isn’t especially attractive to college students. it has a reputation for being dull, and anyone who has talked with experienced practitioners knows that a job can require long hours.

and then there are the extra hours of study required to pass the cpa exam. and then there are the years of work (and relatively low pay) required to really learn accountancy. and then there’s the cpe needed – official and un – just to keep up with changing rules and regs.

but there are upsides, too. read more →

new rules make it easier, but traps remain for awards that are not carefully structured.

kei morita is a principal in the los angeles office of holthouse carlin & van trigt llp.

with the war for talent at a fever pitch these days, stock-based compensation (sbc) is one of the most effective ways for private companies to attract and retain valued workers. it’s also a very effective way for early-stage companies and other private entities to preserve cash flow while allowing key employees to share in the company’s growth. but the sbc accounting rules and calculations can be very complex.

while fasb and the private company council (pcc) issued guidance late last year to make it somewhat easier for private companies to account for share-based awards, many challenges still remain. if you’re a cfo, controller, treasurer, hr director or another stakeholder in a privately held company – or have clients that are privately held companies – it’s critical to follow the sbc accounting rules correctly.

the disruptors with liz farr

corey schmidt’s take-aways

  • offer your staff different paths to being successful.
  • pinpoint the talents you have on your staff, and nurture those special skills.
  • carve out time for people to work on those skills, not just the backlog.
  • challenge your people earlier in their careers so they have three years of experience rather than one year repeated three times.
  • create roles for the kinds of skills your people have.

  • a forgotten metric is client happiness. if we provide a service that makes them feel good about what they’re getting, they’re going to be willing to pay more and will stick around much longer.
  • firms should own who they are. a firm with a hard-driving culture that values working long hours should seek out team members who like that kind of work culture.
  • think about where you want to be in five years, and start hiring people who fit that kind of work culture. build in the people, processes and systems around that end goal.

thus has a voracious appetite for mergers been created at all size levels, particularly:

  • sellers who are very small firms – sole practitioners (remember, 30,000 of the u.s.’s 44,000 cpa firms are solos, and a huge percentage of those are at an advanced age) and multipartner firms under $3 million
  • buyers with annual revenues of $3 million and larger
