In this Small Firm Philosophy podcast, Johanna Sweaney Salt, CPA, CGMA, partner at Gray, Salt & Associates LLP in Claremont, Calif., talks with Lisa Simpson, CPA, CGMA, of the AICPA about the critical nature of firm culture in a successful practice.
Sweaney Salt believes it’s important to listen to and trust not only your partners, but your staff, too. Empowering your associates to offer and initiate innovative ideas can be very rewarding. She shares the role that technology, communication, meeting structure, reviews, fun, extra time off with pay and other factors build culture.
