Accounting firms--like many other small businesses across the US--sent employees home to work when the Covid-19 lockdown began in the spring, as instructed by the government. Now businesses are slowing reopening. If your accounting firm is getting ready to reopen, bringing employees back to the office, the Rules of Thumb from MoneyThumb has some very sage advice from experts to help you make that transition and even build your accounting firm into a stronger organization than it was before the lockdown.
Of course, there are accounting firms that may choose to allow some employees to continue working from home. There are many employees who prefer this situation. In fact, a survey from Owl Labs reported that 80% of employees want to work from home at least some of the time.
The following advice for rebuilding your accounting practice in a post lockdown world applies to both scenarios for the employees of your accounting firm, returning to the office, or working from home.
Accounting Web has created this guide, Rebuild: An Accounting Firm Playbook, that is free to download.
Below is a list of what you will find in the playbook:
