On this episode Heather speaks with Jennifer Wilson, Partner and Co-Founder of ConvergenceCoaching®, LLC, about the sweeping influence of private equity (PE) in the accounting profession and what it means for firm culture, leadership, and client relationships. Jennifer explains how PE’s drive for rapid growth and profit could clash with accounting's traditional values, which prioritize people and community alongside shareholders. They explore the challenges of integrating firms, managing change, and preserving trusted client relationships in an evolving landscape.
