The PCPS/TSCPA National MAP Survey—one of the largest CPA firm practice management benchmarking projects in existence—is open. To access the 2010 PCPS/TSCPA National MAP Survey’s comparison data, you will need to participate. In addition to the free summary report, PCPS member participants will receive an interactive report with data tailored to firm size and region.
“I have used the MAP survey for six years and have found it to be an invaluable tool I refer to over and over again to manage my practice,” says Eileen Pastenieks, CPA of Warmerdam CPA Group LLP. “I use the information to determine, among other things, if my wages are in line with other firms in my geographic area.”
If your firm is not yet a PCPS member, you can join for $35 per CPA (maximum $700). Nonmembers can purchase results reports for $300 (survey participants receive a $100 discount; AICPA members receive an additional $100 discount.)
The survey closes Friday, Aug. 13.
For more information, go online.
