A big part of business development is communication; selling yourself or someone else, building relationships, making a pitch, and so on. As a professional, you should build up the skillset to truly be able to articulate what value, skills, and experience you (or your group) have. Today, we are joined by Alex Egan, a director at Kaufman Rossin, a full-service public accounting and consulting firm. Alex leads a team of consultants and advisors who specialize in helping broker-dealers, RIAs, FinTech companies, banks, and other financial services firms, address their compliance risk and regulatory challenges. As listeners tune in, they’ll hear from Alex about his career journey and how the skills he acquired prepared him for his current role as a consultant and advisor. We discuss how communication is essential to creating value for clients and the benefit of a team-based approach to business development.
