“We are always pleased to understand the technology in use by CPA firms across the United States,” said Johnston in a statement. “The survey provides operational information to CPA firm leading or managing partners while revealing new trends … I’ve learned something of note every year of the survey.”
The survey has 91 multiple choice questions and takes roughly 30 minutes to complete. Respondents will receive the e-book via email on or before May 1, 2019.
“The survey’s validity is hugely important to us; We take this aspect seriously due to critical operational and technology decisions being made by practitioners based on the trend lines our survey reveals,” said Tankersley in a statement. “This survey is the premier benchmarking tool for practitioners nationally.”
Areas the survey covers include demographics, practice management, technology management, operating systems, computer hardware, application software, file and data storage/management, remote access/internet/telecommunications, technology spending, decision-making, and annoyances and trends.
