Growing Stronger Firms Together
Where accounting firm owners come together to share ideas, solve challenges, and learn from one another.
Running an accounting firm requires more than technical expertise – it requires strong leadership, thoughtful planning, and the ability to navigate change.
The Practice Connection 2026 is a 2.5 day working retreat designed to give firm owners and practice leaders the space to think, learn, connect, and gain perspective on their firm and its future.
Step away from the day-to-day and spend time with peers who understand the realities of running a practice. Share ideas, explore challenges, and discover practical approaches to leadership, profitability, staffing, pricing, technology, workflow, and growth.
Through facilitated discussions, peer roundtables, a case study, and interactive sessions, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, practical insights, and meaningful connections that extend beyond the retreat itself.
You’ll leave with new ideas, a stronger network, and greater clarity about the opportunities and priorities shaping your firm.
