Ed Guttenplan, WilkinGuttenplan | How to empower a millennial team: lessons from an accounting firm that employees love

Written By Leeza McKeown

If you think about an accounting firm, which generation first comes to mind? Perhaps not millennials! 

But WilkinGuttenplan proudly proclaims they won a Millennial Best Places to Work award AND a Vault Top 3 Internship in Accounting award AND an Accounting Today Best Accounting Firms to Work For award. 

How did they pull this off? Watch this interview with Ed Guttenplan who co-founded the firm nearly 40 years ago.  

He’ll talk about some fantastic ideas for building inter-generational teams. 

“We don’t want our younger employees to see how many hours I work and think, ‘I don’t want to be that guy,’ and leave! We want them to decide to be who they want to be and feel they can become that, here.”
