SFP 95: The power of people and culture to transform business models and set firms up for success

Small Firm Philosophy

In this episode of the Small Firm Philosophy podcast, Ingrid Goldbloom-Bloch, Director of Career Development and Engagement at AAFCPAs, talks with PCPS manager Erin Hartman to share how her firm is making waves and doing things differently in the profession. When Ingrid joined AAFCPA, she was tasked with elevating the people and culture pillars of the firms strategic plan. Ingrid’s day to day focus is to uncover challenges that get in the way of teams feeling happy, engaged, and productive at work. It is this work, and how it transformed AAFCPAs business model, that Ingrid and Erin discuss in detail.

SFP is produced by AICPA & CIMA’s firm services team, aka the Private Companies Practice Section (PCPS). This episode is part of an ongoing series on accounting firm business model transformation that PCPS is leading for AICPA & CIMA.
