In this episode of The Art of Succession podcast, host Barrett Young interviews Samantha Bowling, managing partner here at GWCPA, who shares her remarkable journey from being told "we don't have women partners" to transforming an 80-year-old accounting firm's culture and leadership. Her innovative approach to firm management continues to influence the accounting profession's evolution toward more sustainable practices. Becoming So Good They Can't Ignore You Samantha's story unfolds in two distinct but interconnected parts. First, she details her strategic rise to partnership, leveraging technology and innovation to prove her value despite initial resistance. Rather than accepting the status quo, she methodically implemented changes that demonstrated clear efficiency improvements, building credibility through successful technological implementations while maintaining respect for traditional practices. Change Starts With Us The conversation then shifts to how she's using her leadership position to revolutionize the firm's culture.
