Choose the right perspective
Match the person's firm to your question, since a founder running a small practice and the leader of a multi-office regional firm handle staffing, pricing and succession differently. Consider which service lines the person still works in, since an audit-focused leader and a tax or advisory leader see the firm's economics from different angles.
