About the course


Running a practice demands more than financial expertise. As an accountant, your training equips you to manage numbers – not necessarily people. But leading a team, inspiring performance, and building a supportive, effective culture are essential if you want your practice to thrive.

This course explores what good leadership looks like in the context of accountancy. You'll learn how to create a compelling vision for your practice, structure your team for success, and adopt daily routines that reinforce your goals. The course also covers practical ways to empower others, build trust through active listening, and use feedback and reviews to drive continual improvement.

You’ll come away with a clearer sense of how to lead by example, motivate your team, and foster a collaborative and inclusive environment. Whether you're leading a small practice or growing firm, this course will help you lead with purpose, confidence, and impact.
