Determining your CAS readiness, annual planning and more

Determining your CAS readiness, annual planning and more

For many firms, the growth potential that client advisory services (CAS) offers is undeniable. But for those just starting to build their CAS practices, it can be daunting to know where to begin. Your best first step is to assess where you’re starting from. In my recent blog, “So, you’ve decided CAS is right for your firm and clients. What’s next? ”, I highlight many factors to consider when getting a CAS practice off the ground. CPA.com 's free CAS Firm Self-Assessment Tool can help you assess your firm’s current strategy, structure and operations to identify where you are well-positioned for this new service area and where gaps exist that may require more focus. As with any journey, having this clear understanding of where you’re starting from and where you want to go will ensure you’re taking the best path to get there.
