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

Innovative book provides accountants with sound business strategies told through the voice of a long-term practicing CPA

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., July 23, 2010 — RootWorks, LLC, the accounting profession's premier education and communications services firm, today announced that its CEO, Darren Root, CPA.CITP, will co-author the accounting version of top-selling business book The E-Myth Accountant, to be published by Wiley & Sons and available in November 2010.

"When I was approached by Michael Gerber's team to collaborate on the accountant's edition, it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up," 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 book offers a powerful venue to get this message out and help accountants transition to a true entrepreneurial mindset."

The E-Myth Accountant offers a first-of-its-kind guide to running a successful accounting practice – 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 savvy business leader.

Root owns and operates a successful CPA firm and national consulting practice. Over the years, he has emerged as a technology and workflow leader, having coached hundreds of accounting professionals.

"I've had success as a speaker and educator because I am also a practicing CPA and have my hands in running a business every day," said Root. "Additionally, as Executive Editor of The CPA Technology Advisor, I stay engaged with major vendors and thought leaders on technology trends, new strategies, and best practices. I can then relay this information to accounting firms as a fellow practitioner."

Darren was sought out to write The E-Myth Accountant for the accounting vertical because he represents a true thought leader in the profession, and his firm is a prime example of an ultra-efficient, highly profitable business.

Darren Root has more than 25 years of experience as a practicing certified public accountant and is a nationally recognized speaker. He is also Executive Editor of the accounting profession's premier trade publication, The CPA Technology Advisor, and CEO of Root & Associates, LLC and RootWorks, LLC.
