The Anatomy of a CPA Report gives feedback on 17 performance dimensions specifically designed for CPA leaders. This is an upward (subordinates) and peer feedback process that includes a narrative section so respondents can write comments indicating the person's strengths and areas needed for improvement. Respondents who report to the partner as well as other partners can give the participating partner feedback. This report can be used for career development or as a tool to help the participants better understand how others perceive them. This is usually an internal document given to staff, managers, administrative assistants, and partners; occasionally it is given to key clients to give feedback as well.

TESTIMONIALS |
| Like most firms, our partners each have their own personality styles, strengths and weaknesses. Occasionally, these differences cause conflict among the partners that, if not properly addressed, can have destructive consequences. Rex did a masterful job of helping us to better understand one another, and to unite us toward a very compelling vision for the future of our firm. —Mark Ellsworth, Managing Partner, Cain Ellsworth & Co., LLP
Rex was extremely effective in getting our 22 partners to participate in the discussions in an open and candid manner. In addition, he demonstrated his flexibility as a facilitator by deviating from the planned meeting agenda when the group discussions moved in multiple directions. This flexibility enhanced discussions on important points in our planning process that may otherwise have gone unrecognized. —Edward Buchanan IV, CPA, Managing Member, Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC
