- blogs are authored by qualified, chartered, or certified public accountants
- authors currently practice in a public accounting firm (should be identifiable via the blog)
- blog positioned for client/prospect audience demonstrating subject-matter expertise for the purpose of credibility and business development
As of December 14, 2011 we've got 265 ACCOUNTING PRACTICE blogs listed!
If you're a Certified Public or Chartered Accounting FIRM** (anywhere in the world!) with an active blog that meets the above criteria, please email me about adding it. Otherwise, I add them as I find them, and delete if I find they become inactive for over a year.
** MUST be a currently practicing public accounting firm to be added to this list
ACCOUNTING BLOG SUPPORT COMMUNITIES
If you are a CPA or Chartered or Qualified Accountant, and you author a blog on this list, please join this special community JUST for you! A LinkedIn group called: CPAs Who Blog. Sorry, non-CPAs aren't eligible for this group.
There's another group Accounting Blog/SM Supporters intended for marketers and administrative people who help their inhouse CPA-blog authors.
