CPA Firm Management Reviews
CPA Firm Management Reviews typically span two days and include advanced engagement preparation. In advance of the meeting, a detailed firm profile template is completed and each partner will be asked to complete a confidential questionnaire. Engagements typically begin with the firm’s managing partner and the discussion of areas of concern often occur over dinner. In the days following, individual interviews with partners and other key personnel are conducted. On the second day, the meeting is concluded with an exit conference and a bullet point report is presented to the partner group.
CPA Firm Management Review engagements typically concentrate on and include:
- Partner accountability
- Billing procedures and realization
- Bench marking
- Billing rates
- Partnership agreements
- Profit allocations

- Marketing and firm growth initiatives
- Retreat facilitation
Follow-up is scheduled on an as-needed basis.
Tax Practice Review and Risk Management
Tax Practice Reviews and Risk Management Engagements are not technical reviews, but process and procedural in nature.
The review of the tax practice procedures include:
- Technology

A key focus is also on risk management. Typically a two-day engagement, the review includes advance preparation and materials submitted.
