What's the biggest mistake accounting firms make when trying to scale?

The biggest mistake is trying to scale by simply working more hours or hiring more people without first systematizing and automating core processes. Research from Caseware (caseware.com/us/resources/blog/scaling-without-burnout-how-automation-helps-firms-handle-growing-demands/) shows that firms using automation can expand capacity without scaling headcount, while those relying on manual processes hit capacity limits and experience team burnout.
