Course Description

Join one of the top Accounting Thought Leaders, Doug Sleeter, as he discusses how the accounting profession has evolved and will continue to change as demands of the clients revolve around economic shifts and the new technology platforms that support them.

What nobody is talking about though is the change that we have witnessed in the industry that is being caused by vendors with large suites of products.

Whether you realize it or not, the options you are being given as a professional are being reduced with each turn of the calendar year. This makes it difficult to find unbiased education, technology that we really need, and peers with whom we have more in common with than just a product.
