Bookcases & Shelving — Expert Answer
How many bookcases should an accounting firm plan for its staff?
Accounting firms typically run document-heavy, so plan for significant bookcase storage. A rough rule: each accountant needs 15–20 linear feet of shelving for active client files, binders, and reference materials during busy season. A 36" wide five-shelf bookcase gives you about 15 linear feet of shelving — so one unit per staff member is a minimum. Add extra units for common reference libraries, supplies, and seasonal archive overflow. Tax season creates burst storage demand, so have extra capacity or plan for temporary off-site archive storage.
