My wife's 7 person accounting firm is fully remote. We get together a few times a year for team bonding and sharing of information. We should do this more, it's useful.
But day in, day out, when they are in the weeds of reviewing financials, preparing tax returns, etc., remote is fine.
They are pretty innovated for a tax and accounting firm, with AI enhanced tooling and Enterprise CRM systems.
They are pretty boring compared to a startup.
They are not creating new deep tech.
