MNCPA Leadership Academy
Immersive, local leadership training designed for CPAs.
It's an all-too-common story in accounting firms: Just as staff members start delivering their best value, they walk out the door. But when you invest in your people and provide a clear path for them to meet their career goals, they're more likely to commit to your firm — and drive its success.
You must cultivate strong leaders. And that's what the MNCPA Leadership Academy does for your firm.
The MNCPA Leadership Academy:
- Equips emerging leaders to deliver their best value and drive future success. It's not just about the attendee — it's about your entire firm.
- Tackles the unique challenges of leading effectively in public accounting.
- Provides regular feedback to the firm's sponsoring partner to maximize follow-through, progress and accountability at the firm.
- Meets four times throughout the year, allowing time to sharpen skills between sessions.

- Builds your firm's pipeline of future leaders.
