Partner Compensation: Do You Want Data-Driven Insights?
Kristen Rampe, CPA / Oct 21, 2022
Together with Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we’re working on a research project on partner compensation to gain insights from firms with 3-20 equity partners.
We are inviting owners of multi-partner CPA firms to complete a research survey regarding partner compensation.
We are studying features of various compensation systems commonly found at accounting firms across the United States. Your participation will help us understand and report on potential advantages and disadvantages of partner income allocation systems.

The research survey should take 5 – 10 minutes to complete. Once we have received sufficient responses, we’ll analyze the data and provide a report with our overall findings.
You can use this data to evaluate how your compensation system compares to your peers and determine changes you may want to make.
Thank you in advance for your participation!
