Introducing Effective Leadership for Partners

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.
