Success Stories of a Top 10 Most Recommended Consulting Firm

Last month, Rosenberg Associates was named one of INSIDE Public Accounting’s Most Recommended Consulting Companies. This achievement was made possible by an incredible group of clients that gave us the opportunity to help propel their firms to growth, clarity, and next-level goals.  

To highlight a few examples, here are five success stories we were grateful to be a part of:

1. Helped a six-partner firm, long reluctant to increase prices beyond a few percent per year, review their client list and begin charging for the value they provide. They also began disengaging with clients that were at 40%–50% realization or otherwise not a good fit for their firm.
2. Worked with a sole practitioner concerned about the loss of control and income when bringing in his first new partner. We helped him understand how to design a compensation system that would fairly (and generously) reward the incoming partner and how to structure a partner agreement that allowed the founder to remain in control of key decisions like selling the firm.
3. Advised a highly profitable firm (average income per partner of $1.2M) on creating a succession plan to buy out the founder, develop additional new partners, improve realization (there was room to be even more profitable) and continue providing exceptional client service.
4. Facilitated a partner retreat that was billed as “one of the most effective retreats our firm has had in the last thirty years.”
5. Created a transparent system for non-equity partner compensation with an eye towards developing several individuals into the role, described by the founder as “a huge hit, instrumental in managing staff expectations and removing the mystery of advancement.”
