Professional Development and Continuous Learning at Keiter

Developing experts through niche-focused training

Professional development is most effective when it’s integrated into our everyday work, not just treated as an occasional event. At Keiter, continuous learning and professional development are embedded in how we approach leadership, growth, and long-term success, especially when it comes to developing expertise in specialized service areas.

One example of this approach is our annual Not-for-Profit (NFP) continuing education seminar. This year’s session was hosted by Galasso Solutions, a firm specializing in continuing professional education for CPAs and led by Melisa Galasso, a nationally recognized CPA educator and founder of the firm. Attendees included team members from the Business Assurance and Advisory Services (BAAS) department who focus on nonprofit audits and reviews as part of their niche specialization.

Targeted Training That Builds Niche Expertise

For team members serving NFP clients, staying current with accounting and regulatory updates that directly impact not-for-profit organizations is essential. By supporting and encouraging our NFP team members in developing niche specialties through targeted training, we help them develop deeper subject matter knowledge that strengthens their ability to serve not-for-profit clients effectively. The seminar gave our BAAS team valuable insights into technical accounting, particularly those relevant to single audits. By investing in specialized training like this seminar, Keiter ensures our teams grow their expertise while also ensuring we continue to deliver high-quality service to our not-for-profit clients.

Chrissy Davidson, Keiter’s Talent and Development Manager, shared

“The NFP seminar with Galasso Solutions was a powerful extension of our Talent Development strategy—delivering an engaging, high-impact learning experience that not only challenged our people but ensured the insights truly resonated and stayed with them.”

While the importance of continuous learning is universal, how firms support it can vary greatly, especially in the accounting profession which is constantly evolving, with new technologies emerging and regulations changing often. This seminar is just one example of Keiter’s commitment to continuous learning. Learning is a constant here and is woven into every phase of your career journey, whether you are just starting your career or advancing into leadership. From mastering technical skills and earning certifications to strengthening communication and leadership abilities, growth is always a priority.
