NextLeaders Academy

This program is designed to help your succession plan succeed. We take your new and soon-to-be partners through a two-year program with four cornerstones: 

• Operational excellence
• Interpersonal and client relationships
• Leadership 
• Business development / firm growth. 

AGN recognizes that these new and soon-to-be partners are the key to maintaining vibrant, healthy, independent CPA practices and that a wide variety of competencies and experiences develop strong and competent firm leaders. 

This two-year program emphasizes experiential learning, active participation and a program tailored to individual strengths. Participants will not just hear about what they need to accomplish, they will be immersed in active and transformational learning, practicing new skills with a cohort of others in similar positions in other AGN firms across North America. 
 
Over two years, this program is unique in that it offers:

• Four cornerstone in-person learning sessions, 1 - 1.5 days each, led by best-in-class experts 
• Three experiential learning sessions, designed to help people transform their abilities to lead a firm, 1 – 1.5 days each 
• A chance to experience best practices at a variety of AGN firms around the region 
• An in-firm mentor to help them apply experiences to their own work 
• Personal assessments and feedback throughout the program
• An ongoing cohort group to provide a stable community and establish career-long relationships with other future leaders 
• Virtual learning sessions with application 
• A Capstone project in groups, designed to help them experience their ability to create change and provide leadership, presented to Board Members at NARM 
• CPE
