Due to extensive interest, Accounting Today is extending the deadline for submissions for its annual Managing Partner Elite list of top firm leaders to the end of the day Friday, July 19.
The MP Elite report, which will be published in the August issue, identifies and profiles approximately a dozen of the best leaders of public accounting firms of all sizes across the country. In a series of portraits of the most successful managing partners from small, midsized and large firms, the list identifies the qualities and characteristics that make a cutting-edge leader.
Candidates are judged on a wide array of tangible and intangible criteria, including:
• Quantitative data on revenue and staff growth
• The growth and expansion strategies they have implemented
• Their leadership in building talented, dedicated staffs
• Innovation in service lines, practice management, and client service
• Adoption and promotion of cutting-edge technology.
