Why CPAs Are Embracing Shared Workspaces

Written by C. Brown | 09/10/2019

CPAs — certified public accountants — are a fast-growing group among the professionals seeking business space rentals. 

What makes this field so well-suited for shared workspaces?

CPAs Are in Demand

Almost all businesses need an accountant. Not everyone needs a lawyer or a real estate agent, and if they do, they usually need their services less frequently than they need the services of an accountant. 

Thus, as a CPA, when you set up shop in a shared business space rental, you are immediately surrounded by new potential clients. Because temporary office space often has a rotating cast of tenants, you get new prospects frequently. 

Working out of a shared business space allows you to use your networking skills to meet your new colleagues and put a bug in their ear about your services.

Your Office: How You Want It, When You Want It

Regardless of how many new clients you may gain with a shared office space rental, one of the biggest advantages will be that you’ll save money. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in business for years, no one wants to spend money unnecessarily. 

Renting a spacious office suite may be wasteful. At the same time, you don’t want to convert your dining room into your office (and your significant other doesn’t want that either).

Flexible business space rentals offer the best of both worlds. Professional, well-appointed surroundings are available on an as-needed basis.

Expand or Contract Your Shared Business Space Rental as Needed

Further, shared office space rental is flexible. You may add several contractors around tax time, for instance, then let them go after April 15. Or you may regularly use workers only at the ends of quarters or fiscal years. 

With temporary office space, you can set your contractors up at workstations whenever you need to do so. Space is always there for you, and you don’t have to commit to it long-term.

Likewise, if your business grows, you can add more space. These types of adjustments can be difficult and costly with a regular lease. You may sign a lease for a small suite for three or even five years, and find out in one or two that it’s too small. 

Equally bad would be if you signed a lease for a larger space because you expected to grow, but this growth didn’t materialize.

A flexible business space rental is adjustable to your firm’s needs. 

Cement Your Place in the Community

When you have this type of flexibility, you’re able to stay in the same location longer. Your clients will become accustomed to visiting you in the space, and this helps build your connection to and your reputation in the community.

It’s not just the clients you will connect to — it’s the other workers as well. Studies show that people work better when surrounded by others, versus isolated in an office or at home. This is true not just for people who work for the same company, but for people who work for different companies but in one location as well.

Being in the presence of others helps foster connection, idea exchange, creativity, and motivation.
