The COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. It changed your clients, it changed your staff, it changed your firm, and it changed you. It changed what is expected of us and how we deliver on those expectations.
In this panel discussion, we will hear from Jason Blumer, Nicole Davis, and Greg Kyte, three accountants who are pushing the boundaries of value in the profession. They will explore how the current environment is pushing us to redefine our tools, our clients, our pricing, and even what it means to be an accountant.
