IN LAST 5 DAYS OF THE DECADE, MAKE A BIG POSITIVE CHANGE FOR YOUR ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2020

You are just left with 5 days of this decade. Do you plan to make the most of it? What’s that one decision that can make a big positive change for your accounting firm in the next decade?

It could be any of the following changes:

1. Investing more time in business development to gain more clients

2. Building a great team to service more incoming clients

3. Finding efficiency to increase profitability

Efficiency, team and time are the 3 most critical factors that determine a firm’s growth trajectory. And, all these 3 are interlinked. The most essential ingredient of this success mantra is staff. When you have experienced and reliable staff members in your team, they pave the way for improved efficiency which in return, reduces your workload and allows you to focus more on business development and client relations. Now let’s learn how CPAs, accounting and tax firms can achieve all three using the most significant asset that a firm could have, it’s “Human Capital”.

In this decade, staffing remained a top challenge for accounting firms which was reaffirmed every year by AICPA’s PCPS surveys. The current job seeker’s market caused CPAs and accounting firms to think twice before hiring staff for accounting positions. This happened due to the challenges they faced on various fronts like recruitment, retention and replacement. 

Recruitment of accounting staff for CPAs, small, mid-size and large accounting firms is a major challenge as it consumes substantial amount of time in sorting through hundreds of resumes. Then, you have to spend hours in taking the interviews and tests of the candidates. After that, wait for them to join and spend even more time in training and onboarding the new recruit. 

As a result, retention of the hired staff becomes even more important. Yet, as people keep changing jobs frequently, industry average is a mere 2.4 years. Sometimes after a couple of months, you find out that the relationship isn’t working out. Then, you don’t have any other option but to go through the same cycle of recruitment all over again. 

To sum it up, hiring in-house/local staff in the accounting industry is a big challenge. It’s even more gruesome for small, mid-size and regional accounting firms. But, hiring offshore staff is as easy as it gets. How?

Recruiting offshore staff with Entigrity is a completely transparent and simple process. Instead of shortlisting from hundreds of resumes, we send you multiple pre-screened resumes as per your specific requirements. You interview and test the candidates and hire the one that fits the bill. 

Retaining is even much easier with Entigrity offshore staffing. Unlike local staffing, the average tenure of Entigrity’s offshore staff is 5.4 years. Moreover, every staff member signs a 3 year contract with us. If you feel that the staff you hired, isn’t the right fit, we provide no-cost replacement. 

In totality, you’re better off with Entigrity offshore staff as compared to standing alone in local staffing.
