“People management, driving change and other soft skills will become even more important in the future of finance. The roles that CPAs are playing go beyond the numbers these days: you’re involved in strategy, transformation and finding ways to leverage technology. As a CPA, the more tools you have in your arsenal, the more relevant and versatile you are in your career and I’m glad to have had the opportunity to enhance my skillset.”
