An accounting firm grew quickly over the last few years. The owner acquired other small firms as well as growing his base of client relationships. He acquired the talent within these small firms which created culture clashes in the company by blending small groups of people into one larger office. Not much attention was given to the staff in developing and empowering them to collaborate in new teams. The owner is overwhelmed much of the time fighting fires between staff and answering question
s from his clients. His ability to scale has stalled.
Many accounting firms have two divisions – audit and tax. By hiring two senior managers to lead each team allows this owner to scale his business. Questions from staff and clients are fielded through these managers. This allows the owner to develop new business and focus on leadership of the company.
