Your solution for business insights

As the world of work rapidly changes, we’re hearing from more of you that your organizations need strategic help. While “change management” might sound like a business buzzword, the truth is that we’re all changing — the VSCPA included.

As we’ve responded to new ways of hybrid work, developed task forces to respond to current drivers of change, and more, we realized we can assist you, too. Our new service, VSCPA Strategic Insights, can help firms or businesses align their strategies, work cultures and leadership to prepare themselves to meet the future of work.

What this looks like will be different for everyone. Some organizations need help reviewing and realigning goals with the company’s mission; some may need a mission and vision overhaul. Others may be reinventing their corporate culture and need help navigating changing demographics. With so many factors influencing the accounting profession (increased automation, rapidly changing regulations, and outsourcing and offshoring, to name a few), now is the time to prepare for the future.

Why us? We are constantly reviewing and staying on top of current trends and what’s affecting the accounting profession to bring you this cost-effective member service. We’re positioned to bring you expert knowledge to help your firm or company succeed, and we are also wellattuned to issues affecting businesses in Virginia in particular.

VSCPA experts can offer a variety of services, either in person or virtually, to guide you with action items you can implement immediately. Service options include:

• Strategic planning: Bring your team together in a meeting or retreat to create a road map and envision your organization’s next steps. • Workshops: Leadership consultation can focus on drivers of change, innovation, or any other strategic topic needed.

• Data collection: We can survey stakeholders and help you monitor your team’s perception of progress on key initiatives.

• Facilitation: Need an interactive approach to meeting facilitation?

We’ve got leaders who are experts at engaging attendees.

Developing solutions to tackle the challenges ahead is an ongoing task. We’re continuing to brainstorm new ways to help solve your problems.
