The modern accounting firm doesn’t need four walls to succeed. Thanks to advances in cloud technology and a shift in employee expectations, remote staffing for accounting firms is no longer a trend—it’s a critical strategy for growth.
On June 13, 2019, Jeff Phillips, Co-Founder of Accountingfly, and Amanda Aguillard, Founder of Elefant, co-led a dynamic webinar on how firm leaders can build, manage, and confidently lead remote accounting teams. The discussion focused on practical tools, leadership techniques, and strategies that help firms hire and retain top talent virtually.
