Course Description

In the world of accounting, success, much like a great jazz performance, doesn't come from any single player, but from the synergy of diverse talents improvising together toward a common goal. Just as jazz musicians build upon the structure of a tune while adding their own creative flair, accounting leaders must blend innovation, creativity, and strong leadership to "jam" with their teams and create a harmonious, high-performing environment. 

In this webinar, we’ll explore how to "riff" on leadership styles, update your tech stack, and create a collaborative, inclusive team culture that drives innovation in your accounting practice. We’ll examine how creative leadership can elevate your team's performance, how embracing new technology can set your firm apart, and how fostering an inclusive environment allows your team to innovate with flexibility and fluidity. 

This session will provide practical insights and actionable strategies that accounting leaders can use to inspire their teams, foster creative problem-solving, and embrace innovation as a catalyst for progress. Whether you’re leading a small firm or a large department, this webinar will help you transform your accounting team into a dynamic, innovative "ensemble" that thrives in today’s rapidly evolving industry. 

Learning Objectives: 


  • Identify strategies to inspire and lead your team with creativity, balancing structure with flexibility to foster innovation and drive performance 

  • Recognize how to leverage emerging technologies to streamline processes, enhance collaboration, and unlock new opportunities for your firm 

  • Determine how to build an inclusive, collaborative environment where diverse skills and perspectives are valued, leading to stronger team performance 

  • Define how to cultivate a culture of innovation that encourages experimentation, welcomes new ideas, and empowers your team
