The coo in law, tax and accounting firms – trend or future model?
In today’s working world, efficiency, cost savings and digitalization are among the buzzwords that have high significance. Especially in law, tax and audit firms, a high level of efficiency is imperative in order to maintain the firms’ position in an increasingly competitive environment.
To meet this demand, a new position has emerged in recent years, that of COO (chief operating officer). The purpose of this position is to ensure that the firm’s business operations run smoothly and efficiently, allowing lawyers, tax advisors and auditors to focus on their core responsibilities. But is the COO a short-term fad or a real model for the future?
