Description

Growth doesn’t always mean moving on—it can mean moving deeper.

Gear Up for Growth
With Jean Caragher
For CPA Trendlines

“I love Smith + Howard, and I loved marketing, but I didn’t think I was the person for that role anymore,” says Julie Barnes, chief of staff of Smith + Howard, during her appearance on Gear Up for Growth, powered by CPA Trendlines, and hosted by Jean Caragher of Capstone Marketing. “I didn’t want to leave; I wanted to do something different. I wanted to be valuable to the firm and create value in whatever role I landed in.” 

Barnes shares how her 30-year journey at the firm has evolved through initiative, transparency, and a culture that supports growth from within. 

Her story offers two powerful takeaways for professionals in accounting firms.
