The relationship between the business owner and CPA is changing. Progress, transformation, and massive strides being made in technology have allowed CPAs to refocus their time from traditional bookkeeping/maintenance work to higher-level advisory and wealth management -- ultimately increasing the value provided to clients. As a result, client relationships are changing as well.
So how can continue to differentiate your offering, and ensure your clients’ success? During our presentation, we’ll be focusing on how to advise your clients on overall business strategy, and innovation beyond the scope of accounting alone.
