Accounting Blog List
This list tracks the growth of PRACTICE blogs defined as:
blogs written by qualified/chartered/certified public accountants, operating or working within public accounting firms of any size, demonstrating expertise to targeted client/prospect audiences.
As of Jul 2, 2009 we are aware of 98 accounting firm PRACTICE blogs (per above definition).
If you're a Certified Public or Chartered Accounting FIRM** (anywhere in the world!) with an active blog, please email me about adding it. Otherwise, I add them as I find them, and delete if they become inactive for too long.
** MUST be a currently practicing public accounting firm to be added to this list
