The fast pace of change is driving the need for businesses to become more agile and our clients will require more from us as accountants to help meet their changing needs. To meet these needs, WE have to become more efficient and effective at what we do every day.
One of the key things we often overlook is collaborating with others in areas that we aren’t masters at or when we don’t have the time to implement change. Being efficient and effective quite often starts with the WHO, not the WHAT.
