Four recent actions gave me insights into the changing business models of the accounting business.

Things change, and change can be upsetting and unsettling.

Periodically I review what I and others have written, trying to get ideas to present to clients and to accounting firms I consult with.

I get a ton of interruptions; I figure it comes with the job. The issue is how I deal with them and which ones I have learned to ignore or pass over.

Many firms that have active mentoring programs do not provide the appropriate mentors.

I have spoken to and met with thousands of fellow accountants, and I truly believe many are underpricing their services.

Last month I gave one of the best continuing professional education programs I ever did about the worst topic ever.

This is the third year for my “field trip” to Manhattan with summer interns.

My previous column, “Female staff are smarter than male staff,” drew a lot of comments and emails indicating considerable interest in this topic. Hence, this additional column.

Why are there far fewer women partners than men partners in CPA firms?
