The reckoning accounting firms can't postpone
“Accounting for Times” charts the history of accounting and law firms — and makes an unambiguous case for what survival requires next. Drawing on rigorous doctoral research and two decades immersed in professional services culture, Levin and Anevski challenge firm leaders to confront the assumptions quietly dissolving their firms from the inside out.
This isn't a book of comfortable affirmations. It's a practitioner's reckoning — with talent, culture, leadership, and the single most consequential decision facing every managing partner today: Evolve or Dissolve.
