Succession Planning The big question of succession exists in every firm and it is not just in the partner ranks. It is the number one obstacle facing many CPA firms. Time is not our friend. Taking action now to make sure the firm can survive the looming retirements is critical. We can help you:

  • Look at key positions and develop your plan, now.
  • Assess your governance structure and determine the changes needed to survive the retirements.
  • Create the plan for your most critical transition, your Managing Partner.

  • Develop the people plan to create the next generation in your firm including:
    • Hiring processes to keep the pipeline full.
    • Career ladders that encourage growth of your all-stars, and room for them.
