Product Information

Behind every successful practice is a strong, motivated team. This two-hour session gives you practical tools to handle the people side of your business — from hiring to performance management. You’ll learn how to create clear job roles, set expectations, and lead your team with confidence and empathy. We’ll cover essential HR processes, communication strategies, and compliance basics tailored for small to medium accounting firms. Whether you’re managing two people or twenty, this session will help you turn your team into a cohesive, productive unit that drives your firm forward — not one you constantly need to rescue.
