Are you someone with 2-7 years of experience in public accounting?  Are you interested in exploring how your involvement in business development could accelerate your career?  Do you find yourself enjoying getting to know your clients, co-workers, and team leaders?

Courses and modules include:

  1. Introduction/Keys to Success/Building your Plan

There are three levels of participation in the jvBD Academy:

Participants in our Foundation Program get access to all course videos, slides, worksheets, tools and quizzes.  Access is also granted to facilitator guides for each module, however no facilitator will be provided by Kuesel Consulting, Inc.  We strongly recommend that you identify an internal facilitator for each program to achieve maximum impact.

“Plus” $900 Per Person/Year

Participants in our Plus Program receive all the benefits of our Foundations Program plus receive a designated facilitator from Kuesel Consulting, Inc. for each program.  Your participants will watch the module and then connect with our facilitator to complete the discussion.  A minimum of five participants from your firm must participate to be eligible for the Plus Program.

“Pro” $1,200 Per Person/Year

Participants in our Pro Program receive all the benefits of our Plus Program plus receive four 30-minute individual coaching sessions per year.  A minimum of five participants from your firm must participate to be eligible for the Pro Program.
