The Modern Firm®

What is The Modern Firm?

The Modern Firm is the definitive moniker for accounting firms that have transitioned away from the traditional business model (i.e., taking any client who walks through the door, working 24/7 during tax season) to transform their business into a highly profitable, culture-rich and sustainable business.

The Modern Firm embraces change and leads with intention to foster a positive, technology-focused and education-driven environment that supports a superior client and staff experience at every level. Modern firms embrace best practices, leading technologies and are focused on building a rich culture to thrive in today’s ever-changing business landscape.

If you’re still operating under the traditional accounting firm business model, it’s time to think modern.

Without the help of the Rootworks team, we wouldn’t be where we are today. We’ve had some of the smoothest tax seasons in our history since joining because we now have the right technologies and defined, structured processes in place. We can’t thank Rootworks enough for helping us run a better accounting firm!
