Course Description

The session is dedicated to the possibility that accounting professionals better serve their customers when they focus on improving their effectiveness rather than seek efficiency gains. Shifting this focus is difficult as it requires professionals to think differently about their obsession with efficiency. It is not for everyone; however, if you feel you are ready to make this adjustment, you are invited to participate in this session conducted by Ed Kless, Sage's senior director of partner strategy.

Learning Objectives:


  • Identify how accounting professionals can better serve clients by focusing on effectiveness rather than efficiency

  • Recall why accounting professionals must make the difficult shift from efficiency to effectiveness
