PCPS—the AICPA Alliance for CPA Firms—and the Texas
Society of Certified Public Accountants released the results of the
2004 Management of an Accounting Practice (MAP) Survey. The
information, gathered from nearly 2,500 firms of all sizes across the
nation, includes comprehensive benchmarking data on salaries, billable
hours, service offerings and expenses. For the first time the research
included questions on the methods top-performing firms used to achieve
exceptional results; other questions focused on marketing, business
planning and owner/partner issues. Among other findings, the data
showed increased firm growth, profits and billing rates. The results
