Your Firm vs. The Profession: What The Rosenberg Survey Reveals
How does your accounting firm stack up against the competition? It’s a question every forward-thinking firm should ask—and the Rosenberg Survey provides the answers.
As a respected benchmarking tool in the profession, the annual Rosenberg Survey gives CPA firms the data they need to assess their performance in key areas like profitability, partner compensation, staffing and growth strategies. With over 100 metrics and hundreds of firms participating nationwide, the survey offers a reliable pulse on the profession’s current state.
Why the Rosenberg Survey Matters
Whether you’re navigating succession planning, evaluating partner performance or looking to attract top talent, having accurate benchmarking data is essential. The Rosenberg Survey not only reveals how your firm performs relative to others of similar size and region—it also shows how high-performing firms are managing key issues.
What the Data Tells Us
Here are a few insights the survey uncovers:
- Partner Compensation: How does your average equity partner compensation compare to the national average? Are you compensating below the market average or leading the pack?
- Net Income Per Partner: Are your partners generating the same level of profitability as others in the profession?
- Leverage and Staff Utilization: Is your staffing structure in line with firms that operate most efficiently?
- Growth Trends: Are you keeping pace with firm growth in revenue and client base?
Using the Survey to Drive Decisions
The real power of the Rosenberg Survey lies in how firms use the data. We’ve seen firms adjust compensation models, reevaluate partner expectations and identify succession risks all through the lens of the survey results. For firms in growth mode, benchmarking against top quartile performers provides a roadmap to scale more effectively.
Your Competitive Edge
Participating in the Rosenberg Survey means more than just filling out a questionnaire—it’s about investing in the future of your firm. The insights gained can shape strategic planning, improve internal accountability and spark conversations that move your firm forward.
