FIRM GROWTH FORUM EAST

The Blueprint For Growth

September 23-24, 2026 | Vignette Collection by IHG | Washington, D.C.

What is FIRM GROWTH FORUM EAST- The Blueprint For Growth?

Launching in its inaugural year, FIRM GROWTH FORUM EAST  is a research-driven, East Coast expansion of Accounting Today’s flagship FIRM GROWTH FORUM is designed specifically for small and mid-sized accounting firms preparing for their next stage of scale.

Backed by Accounting Today’s editorial authority, FIRM GROWTH FORUM EAST curates the conversations that matter most to firm owners and partners: real operational challenges, proven technology adoption, profitable service expansion, and leadership decisions that move the needle.

Built on Research. Designed for Execution.

FIRM GROWTH FORUM EAST is the only East Coast accounting growth conference built directly from proprietary Accounting Today research—translating real-world data from the fastest-growing firms into a curated, step-by-step playbook for firms below the Top 100. Every session is informed by how firms are actually scaling today, not by anecdotes or vendor-driven agendas.

This is where accounting leaders come to sharpen strategy, pressure-test ideas, and leave with a clearer path to sustainable growth.

No vendor-heavy agendas. No generic playbooks.
Just focused, peer-driven insight from firms actively building what’s next.

This is not theory. It’s not hype.
It’s a blueprint firms can actually use.
