Eric Majchrzak, Chief Executive Officer

"I was given the tools, perspective and peer support group that I needed to take on my new role as CEO. I signed up for the bootcamp because of the content, and left with a new group of colleagues and friends with whom I continue to collaborate with today."

Tommy Lee, Partner-in-Charge, Retail, Franchise & Hospitality

"The Managing Partner Bootcamp is invaluable to our partner group. It allows our current and future leaders to refine their skills, outlook and perspective on successfully running a professional services firm. The speakers, content and connection have been top notch."

Jessica Freiburg, Managing Partner

"As a new managing partner, I found MPB to be extremely valuable.  To spend a few days immersed in the knowledge and experience of Gary, his colleagues and the other partners in the room, is unlike any other leadership opportunity I have found in the CPA profession. We covered tough topics that come up every day in this role and others that hopefully never come up but you need to have the tools and resources to manage these issues when they do arise."
