“I would highly recommend that anyone starting a CAS practice leverage all of the great resources that are available that will help you understand critical practice options and considerations. Clarify your target client verticals. They aren’t created equally. Over time, dive deep into your focus area to expand your expertise and know-how.
Carefully choose the right client service offerings and technology stack for your firm to service clients in your defined niches and to operate your firm efficiently. Determine the technology and best practices that will allow you to create a scalable firm. Think SOPs Practice Management and Billing. Employ a subscription pricing model to establish MRR. Time spent optimizing your pitch and pricing structure is time well spent!
Be ready to pivot your practice to be able to seize opportunities and address challenges. Also, plan for continuous learning. I started our firm 22 years ago and continue to ‘live’ these practices. Attending CAS industry conferences and leveraging resources from reputable organizations such as Woodard’s Scaling New Heights and the AICPA’s Digital CPA among others is a great start!”
