3 CHALLENGES CPAs FACE

With competition growing at an ever-increasing scale, technology advancing by leaps and bounds, and the workforce lacking formal management, CPA firms are increasingly facing more challenges than past generations.

In this blog, we review some of the current challenges facing CPA firms today and what solutions have been found to solve them.

1.- Keeping up to date with new technologies

As we mentioned previously, there are new ways to carry out accounting tasks thanks to the help of technology and its programs, but for this, you must be constantly updated. A good way to achieve this is by attending seminars and conferences on technology (either online or in person), as well as reading industry-specific publications.

2.- Attract new clients

Because competition is growing rapidly, there is a constant danger that clients, even those who have been loyal for years, will go to another firm for accounting services. One of the most classic ways to make yourself known is through word-of-mouth referrals, as it is a strategy that never fails. Asking your new and old clients to recommend you will always have value. You can also go further and blog and be active on social media so you can reach more people who may be interested in your services.

3.- Data Privacy

Cybersecurity is an issue of constant concern in any work area since data privacy can be the target of cybercrime. To avoid this type of problem, it is recommended to implement security policies, and crisis and incident response plans, contract cyber insurance, and periodically follow up on this type of issue. It is also suggested to consider the possibility of using QuickBooks to perform the firm's tasks.

Although there are other ways to solve this type of problem, these solutions have been tested by experts, so we consider them suitable to recommend to our clients. What is the problem that you have had to face the most in your firm? What means have you implemented to solve them?
