Private equity isn’t inevitable. Accounting firms today have more options than ever—including remaining proudly independent. But independence requires firms to proactively address many of the same challenges that are driving others toward outside capital: growth, succession, talent, technology investment, partner retirements, capacity, and long-term strategic planning.
