2014 Accountants Accelerator Survey Results

Thank you for taking our survey; we had a record number participate.   We asked about your role in your business, and if you’re curious, we’ve posted the results below so you can see where you rank with others.

The vast majority of you are owners of your own accounting, IT, or financial services business.   Here’s the breakout of how many years you’ve owned your own business.
