Change drives growth, but at the cost of comfort. Today, we dive into the ways to foster positive change in our business, company culture and life with change management expert Will Hill. Will works a lot with professional service companies like accounting firms, but the principle of change management and change communication are universally applicable and often overlooked in business.

Will is the founder and owner of Will Hill Consults, LLC; a coaching and consulting firm serving the tax and accounting profession. He spends the majority of his time with firm leaders working at the intersection of people and process. Through his 22+ years in the profession Will has taught countless classes on firm management, change management, and advisory services. His consulting and training travels have taken him to over 400 firm offices to work directly with firm owners and their team members.

Known for his combination of creativity and practicality, Will brings his passion to each article, webinar, podcast or coaching engagement he embarks upon. In 2021 Will was named by Accounting Today in their "Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting" list. Will has also twice been recognized by the CPA Practice Advisor in the "Under 40" lists (sadly, no longer eligible for any 'Under 40' awards).
