CPAs are great with numbers and clients trust them immensely. They should consider small, manageable steps to becoming a more comprehensive advisor and becoming a confidante in their clients' lives. It's important to start building one's ROR (Return on Relationship) today.

The future of accounting should continue to be inclusive, dynamic and fulfilling. But we can’t get there if we cling to outdated models of what a “successful accountant” looks like. Individuals should have the freedom to swing, climb, pivot and grow.

By investing the time and energy into mentoring young talent, we all benefit. By building thoughtful, structured and human-centered internship experiences, we help shape tomorrow’s accounting leaders and strengthen our firms in the process.
