209: How To Advance To Partner

Where Accountants Go - The Accounting Careers Podcast

In this special episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers Podcast, we pieced together five interviews with five distinguished accounting firm partners in order to bring you a special resource. Our guests came from firms ranging in size from boutique, niche local firms, to multi-office firms, to a Big 4 firm as well. The partners that generously donated their time for this endeavor were: Joey Tackett with the national firm Deloitte Kim Ford with theKFordGroup, a boutique firm in San Antonio, Texas Tim Pike with Howard in Dallas, Sheila Enriquez with Briggs & Veselka, a regional firm headquartered in Houston, Texas, and Jocelyn Hill with Williams Adley, a niche firm in Washington, DC We discuss how to move up to partner, what they learned about being a partner that they didn’t realize before, who may not enjoy being a partner in an accounting firm, and other general insights into what being a partner in a CPA firm truly means. This is sure to be one of our more timeless resources as far as our podcast goes. This show is definitely longer than others, but that’s because there wasn’t really much we could cut. All of the information the five partners shared was key to the overall purpose of the show. We hope you both enjoy the show and get much value from the information they were willing to share.
