It’s How We Separate Your CPA Firm From The Others.

The truth about CPA firms is that while there are thousands of them, only a handful consistently invest in the development of their own people. We’re not talking about the occasional class. We’re talking about a committed effort to improve everyone’s performance within the firm on an ongoing, monthly basis. Most firms only tell people what they need to do. Very few actually provide them a roadmap on how to accomplish what they need to do.

If you’re still with us and that’s the firm you aspire to be, you’ll be interested to know that PSG has actually created segmented training courses and workshops that are made for just where your people are on their career growth chart.

For Partners and other management level professionals:

We have four full-day interactive courses that challenge you to take a deep dive into your own behaviours with a focus on evolving your actions for the better. These courses include:

• Valued Advisor and Superior Client Service
• Effective Human Resources Management
• Professional Selling/ Listening Skills
• Leadership Skills

For Managers and Senior Managers:

We offer three workshops that cater to the skills you’ll require in order to move up to the next role and set of responsibilities at the firm. These workshops include:

• Developing Effective Managerial Skills – This two-hour class for newly promoted managers focuses on the skills needed to make an effective transition from staff to manager.
• Client Service Planning Workshop – This one-hour class for senior managers helps them identify client needs that may be best addressed by other firm professionals.

For Seniors and Newer Managers:

We have seven workshops that speak to the range of qualities you’ll want to get comfortable with as you build a career in the accounting profession and at the firm. These workshops with content primarily directed toward you include:
