From Compliance to Consulting Workshop

The increased velocity of technological advancements, artificial intelligence and machine learning require us to better hone our relationship skills. Today, more and more accounting professionals recognize the need to take this transformational journey to remain relevant. Making this transformation is not easy. It requires professionals to think differently than they have in the past.

If you think you are ready to make this change and develop your future-ready advisory skills, then this workshop led by VeraSage Institute Senior Fellow and award-winning speaker Ed Kless is for you. Ed will show you how to better serve your customers by helping you understand what it truly means to be a consultant. You will gain a thorough understanding of consulting assumptions and goals, authenticity, data gathering and assimilation and effective meeting management to strengthen your consulting skills.

This workshop is dedicated to the possibility that a professional can increase their effectiveness in working with their customers (NOTE: they are not clients) if they adopt known concepts from the field of consulting.
