I’m moderating a panel with some super cool cats.
Alternative business models: Rethinking growth without private equity
Private equity isn't the only path for ambitious accounting firms. In this panel, three firm leaders will share how they built alternative business models that prioritize autonomy, ownership, and sustainable growth.
You'll learn how these different models create opportunity without sacrificing independence. We'll explore why private equity isn't always the best fit and how to select the optimal model for your firm's vision and values.
You’ll learn to:
Understand why private equity isn’t the right answer for every firm.
Explore alternatives for scaling without giving up control to private equity.
Choose a business model that truly fits your firm’s vision and culture.
