Strengthen Your Firm by Hiring High-Character Professionals
Can you afford to hire a single dishonest person? Of course not.
Would your accounting practice flourish if you have a team member who doesn't keep their promises or refuses to accept responsibility for their mistakes? No way.
But what are you doing to ensure that you bring only high-character people onto your team?
This unique take on accounting ethics reveals 4 crucial qualities of high-character team members: honesty, accountability, care, and courage.
You'll learn specific questions you can ask to evaluate a job candidate's character and what can happen if you focus exclusively on the candidate's knowledge and skill (spoiler alert: it's not good).Â
This is an entertaining way to learn about the power of finding and keeping ethical people who will do the right thing consistently and make you shine!
