“Navigating business growth in 2022 is complex. High growth firms are no longer looking simply at regulatory and compliance issues, rather they are focused on where they are going and how they are going to get there. Our clients want accelerated growth, and they need the ability to scale up and create efficiencies within their processes. They need to know how to grow more efficiently, how to staff appropriately and how to use technology to take care of their businesses and clients. Growth is in knowledge, and we think it’s valuable for our clients to know what’s going on in their industry and their market,” said Suzanne Reed, MBA, Chief Marketing Officer, LBMC.
