The Modern Firm Retreat: A must-attend for firm leaders

Many accounting firms are ready to take the first step toward becoming a modern firm…but are overwhelmed with where to start. Stop me if these scenarios don’t apply to you: 

• Your client list is too long and full of non-ideal clients. 
• Tax seasons never seem to end.  
• Your firm’s culture is struggling. 
• Your workflow and processes are hindered by the lack of automation (i.e., your tech stack). 
• You want to incorporate more advisory services into your business model. 

Here at Rootworks, we understand the struggles firms are facing these days. It’s easy to get bogged down with your firm’s day-to-day tasks and lose focus on strides toward firm improvement. That’s why we created The Modern Firm® Retreat. If you’re a firm owner, partner or leader, this must-attend retreat will put you on the path to creating the firm of your dreams. 

What is The Modern Firm Retreat?

If you’re looking for a more intimate, workshop-style event that gives you practical—and actionable—steps to achieve a modern firm, you’ve found it! The Modern Firm Retreat will help you think about the future of your firm. 

This two-day retreat takes you on an informative, tactical journey toward building a successful modern accounting firm.
