About this Talk
Robinson and Mihalic compared notes on scaling modern accounting practices while protecting culture and wellbeing. Both stressed that rapid growth magnifies people issues: panic-hiring, unclear communication, and “scope-creep” clients quickly erode profit and morale. Their answer is a deliberate, values-led approach—built on clear capacity metrics, structured tools (Slack, XPM, FYI) and the confidence to say “no” to the wrong work.
