Industry Forward – Chris Abell
Chris always liked doing audit and tax work for doctors, but she had a revelation when someone asked her if she understood what a physician does and how one gets paid. This led to a monumental mindset shift: She realized she needed to genuinely know these doctors if she truly wanted to help them. Sound familiar? That’s why industry specialization is at the heart of the CLA Promise. And it’s why today our health care specialists include actual health care advice along with financial services. Learn from Chris’s groundbreaking journey in this edition of Industry Forward.

Talking 2018 with FIT!
In 2017 we distilled our CLA Promise to one phrase: we promise to know you and help you. It is a personal commitment based on deep relationships. It requires us to take action to get to know our clients and each other. When we do this, we create opportunities for our clients, our people, and our communities.
Let’s start off 2018 with the CLA Promise in mind. This podcast is a conversation with FIT that I had when we gathered in Orlando with the young executive team, the executive team, and some of the chief industry officers across CLA. Together we explored the strategies and vision needed to know and help our clients, our people, and our communities.Podcast: Play in new window | Download
