Randy Crabtree sits down with Mark Gallegos, partner at Porte Brown and one of the more broadly active figures in the accounting profession, on Episode 255 of The Unique CPA.

Mark also shares how Porte Brown operationalizes delegation as a leadership strategy, not just a talking point; a wide-ranging conversation that manages to be both technically grounded and surprisingly candid about the profession's blind spots.
