Erin Daiber's Profile

Erin Daiber Related Seminars and Products

I am a CPA turned leadership coach, speaker & trainer.

I love accountants. They’re some of my favorite people on the planet- the brightest, hardest working and most clever people I know (…and I’m not just saying that because I am one). Most of my best friends are CPAs and I would be lost without them!

I also know that being an accountant is a tough job- because I’ve been there. I sat in that seat. It’s a career that is demanding of your time and energy, requires a high level of technical expertise…simply becoming a CPA can be grueling. On top of these technical expectations, accountants are also expected to interact with clients, lead & develop diverse teams of people, and, eventually, bring in business.

You might be thinking, “if you loved accounting so much, why did you switch careers?” GREAT QUESTION.

The truth is, the numbers side of accounting was never my thing, but I always loved the people. That’s why this is my dream job; I get to remain active in the profession, meet CPAs, aspiring CPAs and firm leaders from all over the country, and help those individuals & their companies meet their goals. All while never looking at an audit binder!
