Offshoring is not working for small and midsize firms. While large CPA firms rave about their offshore teams, smaller firms often complain about subpar results and experience. Why is that? This is because larger firms hire employees and smaller firms hire outsourcing agencies. This session educates smaller firms on why they too should hire employees with direct ownership instead and how they can do it within the budget of a small firm.

Nancy Yuen shares the lessons she’s learned on becoming a successful Audit and Accounting Executive while navigating the communication and emotional challenges that come with being medically diagnosed as autistic (high functioning) and having OCD. Naturally an extreme introvert, Nancy opens up about her personal journey — from struggling to professionally communicate audit results and connect with peers and managers, to learning how to embrace her authenticity and reframe her neurodivergent traits as strengths, such as her attention to detail and abstract thinking. Now the Global Director of SOX and Audit Compliance at a prominent FinTech company, Nancy credits her growth to directly addressing her mental health challenges, seeking professional support, and learning how to harness her abilities while building her “social muscles".
