Step back into The Hiring Table Podcast with me, Lorenzo Ramirez! I sit down with Michelle Cucchiara, CPA—Acting Vice President at Forward Advantage—to uncover what it really takes to pass the CPA exam, transition into leadership, and create a culture that drives success. We’ll dive into study strategies, the mindset shift from individual contributor to executive, and the hiring qualities that make teams thrive. We’ll also talk about the power of listening, learning, and setting clear standards—and Michelle shares practical advice for anyone looking to grow their career and make an impact. Whether you’re preparing for your CPA, aiming for leadership, or just want real-world insights on building strong teams, this conversation will inspire you to take the next step. Pull up a chair—this episode has started!
