A remote office, or virtual office

as they are often called,

provide a number of benefits

including:




• selecting from a wider

range of talent by choosing

from employees who live

far from your office location




• reducing overhead by

employing staff with lower

costs of living




• serving clients outside

your main office location




Regardless of the size of your

accounting firm, remote offices

can provide an affordable,

professional image for your firm

either as a complementary

facility to your main office,




or as a location to meet clients

or extended members of your

team




Here are four ways adding

a remote office can benefit

your firm:




1. Conference Room Facilities




If you don’t use projectors or

conference calling equipment

often but could use them on

occasion when you have client

meetings, why own them?




2. Professional Reception

and Call Handling Services




If you are out seeing clients

frequently,




or you want to have a part-time

presence in the Los Angeles

area where there potentially

are future growth opportunities,




a virtual office can give you

an opportunity to see if there

is enough business to merit

a full time office and

employees in that location




3. Save on Commuting Time

for Employees and

Executives




Should these staffers have

relationships in the area near

where they live,




they can potentially act

entrepreneurially and bring in

client contracts you never

expected possible by

operating out of a single

corporate office




4. Expanding Your Business

Network




Virtual office management

often will work to have only

a single provider of a type

of service,




such as a CPA or

Management Consultant

to nurture these relationships

and foster referral opportunities




Technology such as virtual

meeting apps, collaborative

document sharing, and Cloud

based accounting systems




are making it easier

for CPAs to work securely

in any location




Is your Los Angeles CPA firm

benefitting from remote offices?
