A client needed accounting-firm partners in North Carolina, with a specific requirement: small firms only, with 1–10 employees, plus direct phone numbers rather than general office lines or emails.
Research approach
Instead of pulling records from a broad accounting directory, I researched each firm individually to confirm its employee count, identify the actual partner, and verify a direct contact number for that person.
What the research covered
Accounting firms based in North Carolina
Employee size filtered to 1–10, focused on small, owner-led firms
Partner-level decision-makers identified by name
Direct phone numbers verified individually, rather than general firm lines
Firm name and core business details
Why this required manual verification
Finding direct numbers for partners at small firms takes more than a directory search. Many small accounting firms do not publish direct lines, so each contact needed individual research and confirmation to ensure the number reached the correct person.
