Do Accounting Firms need an office🏢 anymore?


Listen Later

Today I’m sharing with you a panel discussion on the topic: Do Accounting Firms need an office anymore? produced by the Accounting and Finance Show Hong Kong 2021. Our expert panellists were from Australia and the UK. We were all cloud-first, though we had different size teams, and different set-ups, be it in-office, remote or hybrid model. Of course, Covid impacted these models. As always I think it’s useful for us to hear different insights and experiences to help us on our own journey.

The panellists included:

Moderator: Kyelie Baxter, Founder, Managing Partner, IQ Accountants

Sarah Lawrance, Founder, Hot Toast
Will Farnell, Founder, Farnell Clarke

During the session we discuss:

  • How to ensure clients have an amazing experience no matter how we are working.
  • Benefits of a remote workforce vs hybrid model vs in office model. Issues related to where staff work.
  • The impact on culture, recruitment, even office dress codes.
  • Communication and working across different time zones - and I actually forgot to mention something I’ve leaned into which is ‘Asynchronous communication’ where the conversation is intermittent, rather than a live steady stream.
  • The session initially starts with an introduction from Laura Pickard, Conference Manager at Terrapin, and she hands over to the Moderator: Kyelie Baxter, Founder, Managing Partner, IQ Accountants.
