Scott Wiley, President of the Ohio Society of CPAs, shared some amazing numbers with me: 30+ states plan to file reform bills in 2025. Not more committees—actual legislation.

The model for ownership in accounting firms is undergoing a transformation. Firms that offer alternatives to the standard partner track see dramatically better retention and employee satisfaction.
