67. Darci Congrove, Managing Director, GBQ Partners
Description
For the first time in more than 31 years, Darci Congrove isn’t spending this tax season doing taxes.
The longtime Columbus CPA and managing director of GBQ Partners retired from the firm’s tax department at the end of last year. That doesn’t mean she’s not busy, of course; there’s still plenty to fill her schedule as managing director of Central Ohio’s sixth-largest accounting firm. But she’s no longer working the crazy hours tax professionals often find themselves doing this time of year.
That said, neither are many team members at GBQ. In the latest episode of our Women of Influence podcast, Congrove talked about how the firm has found new ways to embrace flexibility and make tax season more bearable for employees at all levels.
She also talked about GBQ’s international approach to finding enough staffers, the ways she makes decisions about community involvement and more.
