What Really Makes CPA Firms Profitable?, 3rd Edition

TESTIMONIALS

We have purchased a number of Rosenberg Associates’s books, and I like them because they are concise, have ready points that can be implemented, and are focused on the task at hand – CPA firm profitability, retreat planning, and succession planning. They are a great resource for the CPA firm owner or manager.
