ingrid edstrom wants accounting to be not just a more sustainable profession but one that’s regenerative. “this idea of sustainability is really operating from the idea that things can continue to perpetuate as they are,” she explains. a firm may be financially sustainable, “but at what cost to our families, to our personal health?”

like most small firms, rlj financial focuses on the fundamentals of tax, bookkeeping, and payroll, but, as jenkins says, “in the eyes of the beholder, there’s really not a whole lot of value there.” however, shifting into advisory – a big talking point in recent years for the profession – is where accountants can bring “incredible value …beyond the baseline of traditional compliance services,” jenkins says. shifting into advisory also means “there’s way more work that happens all year round.”
