Developing Young Leaders
Every firm has them - bright, energetic professionals who are destined to be the leaders of tomorrow. In today's environment, firms must nurture and develop these individuals to ensure their tenure and to let them know that they are valued. The Rising Stars Workshop has been created to provide the foundation for their growth - the basic knowledge and skills that firm leaders need as they increase their practice management responsibilities.

Moving Beyond Client Service into Firm Management
Preceding the two-day Winning Is Everything conference, this program is designed to cover the managerial and operational aspects of a public accounting firm and to share tools for success. The members of The Advisory Board (Gary Boomer, Allan Koltin, Rebecca Ryan and Gary Shamis) will spend the day coaching your firm's future leaders in a small group setting and share the best practices that they have gathered from their work with firms from across the country. Topics will include:

  • Strategic Planning
  • Managing Up and Managing Down amongst Generations
  • Firm Growth Strategies
  • Performance-Enhancing Technology
  • Staff Management and Development
  • Succession Planning
  • Time Management & Balance
    . . .and more.
