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

BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — RootWorks, the accounting
profession’s premier membership-based education organization, announced the
release of nationally published book The E-Myth Accountant, by RootWorks CEO
Darren Root, CPA.CITP. Root co-authored the book with world-renowned business
expert Michael E. Gerber. The book is published by Wiley & Sons.

“I truly believe that this is the business book for the accounting profession.
Outlined within are the exact steps I took to turn my small firm into a thriving
business,” 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 E-Myth
Accountant offers a clear roadmap to help accountants transition to a true
entrepreneurial mindset and transform their firms into Next Generation
Accounting Firms(TM).”

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

Root was sought out by Michael E. Gerber to co-author The E-Myth Accountant for
the tax and accounting vertical because he represents a true thought leader in
the profession. Additionally, Root’s firm is a prime example of an
ultra-efficient, highly profitable business that is rooted in the E-Myth
philosophy.

Darren Root has more than 25 years of experience as a practicing certified
public accountant and is a nationally recognized speaker on the topic of The
Next Generation Accounting Firm(TM). He is Executive Editor of the accounting
profession’s premier trade publication, The CPA Technology Advisor, and CEO of
Root & Associates, LLC and RootWorks, LLC. He was also named to the accounting
profession’s prestigious Top 25 Thought Leaders list. A signed edition of The
E-Myth Accountant is available for purchase at RootWorks.com for $24.95. The
electronic and audio versions of the book will be available soon.
