At the beginning of 2024, our firm joined ,as a founding partner, a new platform that is committed to revolutionizing the CPA profession, Ascend. In 2024 we launched a new incentive plan and career pathing program called the Level Up Program. We’ve made career pathing a completely transparent process for our team members by gamifying their career path. We give specific quantitative and qualitative goals and metrics that our team members can monitor on a regular basis to ensure that the success of their career is directly in their hands. Alongside this program we launched a robust incentive plan that allows for our team members to have regular feedback about how they can maximize the balance of the success of their career and the quality of their life at home with their families.
What are you doing to make a difference in the profession, your community, the world?
I’ve been much more active in the past year speaking on a variety of podcasts and conferences like Accounting High, Big4Transparency, Botkeeper AI Unchained, BDO Evolve and Winning Ways. I’ve been honored to share my story of how we built our firm so that others might both learn from our failures and successes. In the broader business community I’ve taken a much more active role locally in speaking and teaching about the importance of accounting and operational excellence with the Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber, Valley Partners Economic Development Corporation, Ohio State Chamber of Commerce and Youngstown State University.
