Risk Management for Firm Owners
When you own a firm, it is prudent to have a practice continuation plan so that your team and their families can still thrive should something happen to you as the owner. Many firms can make “handshake deals” with like firms. If you are unable to find a like firm, you may need to look to a larger firm to step in if it is ever needed. No matter which way you go, make sure that you have a plan in place.
Accounting is for the Cool Kids
Some people think of accounting as dull, but not Danielle! She finds it exciting, which is why she teaches part-time at Rice University.
