The Young CPA Success Show

"When you sit across the table or on a Zoom call with a client and you're having a conversation about a project that you went through and that client acknowledges that there’s no way they could have done it on their own, and they really see the value in your partnership, that's what becomes really satisfying in this profession. When you can get to a point where you can really make a difference in the life of a client, that is the ultimate goal.” - Robert MinklerThe finer details of this episode:Discussion on the growing shortage of accountants and the need to address systemic problems in the industryThe shift in accounting skills over time and the need for accountants to develop soft skills and build client relationships The importance of mentorship and career development opportunities within a firmEncouragement to embrace discomfort and have conversations with people to grow personally and professionallyPromoting DEI initiatives Exploration of the gender imbalance in leadership positions and efforts to retain female professionals in the accounting professionEpisode resources:Summit Virtual CFO by Anders website – https://www.summitcpa.net/Email us with questions or if you’d like to be a guest on the show – youngcpasuccessshow@anderscpa.comWe’re hiring!
