Summary

Liam highlights "intentionality" as a key to the cultural and operational trait that sets progressive accounting firms apart.

"I think for me, the word that comes to mind is that they're intentional."

He elaborated that these firms:

• Don’t improve by accident or as a byproduct.
• Make conscious decisions to invest in their people and operations.
• Regularly review processes and strategies.
• Prioritise professional development and operational efficiency.
