After becoming technically proficient at their jobs, senior managers and new partners in CPA firms are ready to balance their technical skill set with the non-technical skills needed to help lead and manage their accounting firms.
For over 15 years The Partner Institute has been providing the training and coaching needed to prepare participants to do just that.
Many TPI graduates have gone on to assume the Managing Partner role at their firms, and almost all have assumed leadership responsibilities for either a niche area or service line. Recognizing that leadership development is a “process” as opposed to a one-time “event”, our 3-year curriculum offers compelling breadth and depth.
