Several themes consistently crop up across the Humanise the Numbers podcast.

One of these is leading and managing change – but leading and managing change within your team, so that you build stronger connections, challenge the status quo and improve how you, your team and your processes do the work in your accounting firm. So there’s leading and managing change within your team, but leading and managing change with your clients as well.

How do you improve the way you interact with your clients and improve the processes in the background that enable you to get the work done better, faster, more effectively, more efficiently, so that you make more money?

These three themes – leading and managing change, leading and managing a team of people and leading and managing clients – show up in our podcast discussion with Dan Hood, Editor-in-Chief of the US publication Accounting Today.

In this podcast, we get a different angle, a different view of the way in which you can lead and manage in your firm. In the cold light of day, though, there is not a great deal of difference in the way things are done across the Atlantic and how they’re done in the UK, or anywhere else for that matter, and Dan shares principles of success based on his years of experience of working with accounting firms in the US.
