Meta-trend to Watch: How to Run a Productive Hybrid Accounting Team
- In their August 8th podcast [update to link to AF site], Rob Brown (Accounting Influencers Roundtable) and Jeff Phillips (Accountingfly founder and CEO) talk about how to succeed in managing a hybrid (or fully remote) team.
- A few key takeaways:
- If workflow is structured correctly, your team can be MORE productive than a fully in-office team.
- Astute management creates more structure, better communication, and better teamwork while increasing the focused time available to get work done.
- Management keys:
- Workflow management, responsibility, and timing are critical. The entire organization should be structured around work to be done, deadlines, and ownership of work.
- Asynchronous communication—if successive handoffs are structured correctly, the team will be able to work on multiple projects if they hold each other accountable.
- Maintain culture with in-person onboarding, periodic in-office planning sessions, and planned “virtual water cooler” moments.
