Chris Williams on the human side of M&A

In this episode of On the Books, Ted and Jessica sit down with Chris Williams, the founder of System Six, a fully remote outsourced accounting business with 50 team members across three countries, to talk about the human side of mergers and acquisitions. The group talks about best practices in identifying firm goals before stepping into an M&A conversation, the right mindset for those conversations, and how to truly put staff and clients first in the middle of a change. And Chris was kind enough to humor Ted and Jessica’s lightning round questions. Don't miss Chris’s session at Intuit Connect, where he will discuss post-acquisition integration alongside leaders from Acuity and EisnerAmper. Chris highlights that the panel will provide a tactical look at how different-sized firms approach integrating clients, technology, and people. For full show notes, visit firmofthefuture.com
