CPA Firm Adopts New Business Model & Advanced Technologies to Expand Nationwide
Newly-branded Lawhorn CPA Group, Inc. sets sites on large-scale expansion
Jan. 25, 2011
KNOXVILLE, TN – Lawhorn CPA Group, Inc., a technology-driven
professional services CPA firm, announced today the launch of its new business
model and brand. Formerly Lawhorn & Associates, PLLC, the firm recently
incorporated and refined its business model to support nationwide expansion
through subsidiary dual-ownership firms. Change in strategic direction sparked
a complete overhaul of the firm’s brand, including a new logo.
“What we have developed is a very different model for firm acquisition,”
explained Jason Lawhorn, CPA.CITP, MAcc, and president and CEO of Lawhorn CPA
Group. “We look to prolong the professional career of CPAs by getting
them out from under time-consuming compliance and administration work. This
frees them to perform work that they are passionate about, and that clients
find exceptionally valuable, such as strategic planning and consulting. Additionally,
this model provides a guaranteed succession plan with a controlled transition
when the CPA is ready to retire.”
Lawhorn CPA Group has long embraced advanced technologies to better serve their
clients and maintain an efficient, paperless office. Secure web portals offer
clients 24/7 access to financial documents, while the firm’s online software
platform enables professional staff to access firm data and files remotely.
Lawhorn’s technology platform and streamlined workflow structure are applied
to newly acquired firms to standardize operations and support real-time communication
across firm locations—eliminating the boundaries of time and distance.
“We recently acquired a firm in Jackson Hole, Wyoming,” stated
Lawhorn. “Under our new business model, the firm was renamed Lawhorn
Green CPA Group, Inc. The firmretains the original owner’s name, but
is marketed under the Lawhorn brand. The original owner also maintains a certain
percentage of ownership in the business in order to benefit from potential long-term
growth until retirement.”
Jason Lawhorn and the other shareholders plan to expand the Lawhorn CPA Group
brand nationwide over the next several years.
