Course Description

What got you into the profession will not get you promoted. The historical, technical focus is just the entry into the profession. CEOs want more – they want the next-gen CPA – CPA 2.0, a future-facing, strategically focused, business partner. You need to have the critical skills to be a trusted business advisor to your customers, management team, and employees. We will explore the definition and characteristics of strategic leadership. We will review 30+ skills you did not learn in your accounting degree to enhance: your ability to lead teams, your interactions with other departments, and your strategic role in your organization. These strategic roles will help transform from a technically talented to strategically savvy CPA, a value-adding resource within your organization.
