I recently spent time with the Suburban Philadelphia Association of Firm Administrators, and it reinforced my appreciation for how vital these individuals are to their CPA firms. As the leadership of CPA firms turns gray, the administrative details of running a firm become less tolerable. Likewise, as future leaders rise through the ranks, their interest in these often routine but important tasks tends to wane. The firm administrator must cover the management tasks that the partners are not going to or willing to do.
CPA firms flourish when they have strong procedures, excellent follow-through, and strong communication. The right firm administrator will be the steward of day-to-day operations. Here are some major roles and tasks that firms should entrust to their firm administrator.
It should be clear that a firm administrator needs to wear many hats. Some are more aligned with the metrics of the business; others are more involved in the HR aspects. Successful CPA firms are at their best when their personnel are put to their highest and best use. A solid firm administrator should have talents that, when optimized, give the leaders of today and tomorrow what they need to do their best. Indeed, no viable firm succession and transition will take place without a strong firm administrator.
The Suburban Philadelphia Association of Firm Administrators is a great resource to help you develop your expectations and job descriptions. If you’re interested, I’ll be happy to connect you.
The PICPA created the umbrella term “firm liaisons” for firm contacts who serve in administrative positions. Firm liaisons can be a firm administrator, office manager, human resources director, CPE coordinator, marketing staff member, or other such positions. The PICPA offers numerous resources for firm liaisons:
