Poll: Top Business Challenge for Accounting Firms is Developing New Business

In a recent poll of 530 accounting and financial services firms conducted by The Hinge Research Institute, the number one business challenge they face is attracting and developing new business. 70.5% of respondents cited this as their top concern heading into 2015.
