Michael E. Gerber, Best-Selling Author of The E-Myth, Partners With Accounting Entrepreneur and CPA, Darren Root, to Co-Author The E-Myth Accountant

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- RootWorks, the accounting profession's premier membership-based education organization, announced the release of nationally published book The E-Myth Accountant, by RootWorks CEO Darren Root, CPA.CITP. Root co-authored the book with world-renowned business expert Michael E. Gerber. The book is published by Wiley & Sons.

"I truly believe that this is the business book for the accounting profession. Outlined within are the exact steps I took to turn my small firm into a thriving business," stated Root. "My goal has long been to help change how the profession thinks about running a practice. I want accountants to understand the difference between working in their firms and working on their businesses. The E-Myth Accountant offers a clear roadmap to help accountants transition to a true entrepreneurial mindset and transform their firms into Next Generation Accounting Firms™."

The E-Myth Accountant offers a first-of-its-kind guide to running a successful accounting practice - told through the voice of a long-time practicing CPA. Many professionals in small and mid-size practices are experts in accounting, but have not considered their practice from a business perspective. The E-Myth Accountant fills this void, offering powerful advice on how accountants can transition from merely a technician in their firm to a savvy business leader.

Root was sought out by Michael E. Gerber to co-author The E-Myth Accountant for the tax and accounting vertical because he represents a true thought leader in the profession. Additionally, Root's firm is a prime example of an ultra-efficient, highly profitable business that is rooted in the E-Myth philosophy.

Darren Root has more than 25 years of experience as a practicing certified public accountant and is a nationally recognized speaker on the topic of The Next Generation Accounting Firm™. He is Executive Editor of the accounting profession's premier trade publication, The CPA Technology Advisor, and CEO of Root & Associates, LLC and RootWorks, LLC. He was also named to the accounting profession's prestigious Top 25 Thought Leaders list. A signed edition of The E-Myth Accountant is available for purchase at RootWorks.com for $24.95. The electronic and audio versions of the book will be available soon.
