Top 5 Accounting Firm Pain Points - Share Yours

Written by Gary DeHart | May 20, 2026 4:00:01 AM

I had a conversation recently with a practitioner who shared that his pain points and/or areas of focus for the rest of the year are:

  •  AI workflow orchestration  

  •  Reviewer bottlenecks and staffing compression are replacing traditional hiring concerns 
  •  Operationalizing advisory delivery at scale 
  •  Practice management and workflow orchestration 
  •  Pricing-model transformation is accelerating as firms rethink billable-hour economics 

How about you and your firm?  What are your biggest pain points and/or focus areas for the rest of the year?  Do you have a plan to deal with them?
