Kaufman Rossin and Business Development Board release first-ever survey 

Palm Beach Leadership Survey Gathers Economic Data 

Palm Beach County, FL – Kaufman Rossin, the largest independent CPA and advisory firm in Florida, today announced the launch of the first-ever Palm Beach Leadership Survey, in partnership with the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County.   

Engaging with South Florida’s business leaders for six decades has given Kaufman Rossin professionals a keen appreciation for insights gathered directly from those driving regional growth.  “Publicly available business data is generally at the federal and state level,” says Rick Slater, Kaufman Rossin Managing Principal for Palm Beach & Broward. “When we drill down and ask regional stakeholders for input in surveys like these, we learn about trends to watch and needs to fill.” 

Palm Beach County has emerged as a thriving hub for economic growth in Florida,” says Kelly Smallridge, president and CEO of Business Development Board of Palm Beach County.  “As the official public/private economic development organization for the county, we’re eager to gather real feedback from our stakeholders, to see what’s working well and where they find challenges.”  

The survey, which launches today, will be distributed to county business leaders through email, at meetings, and through more than two dozen business organizations aligned with the Business Development Board.  CEOs, business owners, and other decision makers can complete the survey at https://group.kaufmanrossin.com/palm-beach-county-survey-2023.html
