reinforce the teaching in every experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

another method for ingraining a business-mindedness attitude into the culture of the firm is to treat every experience as a learning opportunity. partners take staff accountants to lunch with clients all the time, and the three of them talk business. but most partners never do anything with that experience. a better approach is to have a follow-up meeting where the partner asks the staff accountant questions about what they heard and what they learned during the conversation. this could even be on the car ride back to the office.<\/p>\n

\nproviding extra insights is only possible if your people have the bandwidth and the intellectual curiosity to do so. the people who possess that intellectual curiosity will leave if they\u2019re not given the platform to utilize that curiosity.<\/p>\n

what else can you do for your clients?<\/strong><\/p>\n

if you\u2019ve taken the time to understand what\u2019s keeping your client up at night, and to understand the challenges and risks they face, you\u2019re in the perfect position to provide additional services that would help them. don\u2019t think that just because they haven\u2019t asked for those services, they don\u2019t want them or need them.<\/p>\n
