In 2013, accountants have worked hard to bolster their skills and lead their accounting firms to a prosperous year. In addition to logging countless hours on client services, many accountants have read thought-leadership pieces and attended educational webinars to improve their firms.

Sageworks compiled a list of the most popular blog posts, webinars and whitepapers of 2013 and found some common themes. Accountants this year have focused on learning how to generate better leads and how to use industry data to help clients benchmark their businesses. Accountants have also shown great interest in providing additional services in their firms besides taxes. They have spent time discovering how to offer the kinds of valued services that attract the best clients and that can allow the firm to stop competing on price alone.

In case you missed them, here were the most popular articles, webinars and whitepapers for accountants on the Sageworks website:
