Accountants play a critical role in guiding families through some of their most important decisions — succession, wealth transfer and long-term planning. Yet many strategies fail, not because of the numbers, but because the family system behind them is not fully understood. In this session, Kirsten Taylor-Martin explores how accountants can move beyond the technical to uncover the dynamics that influence decision-making. You will gain practical tools to ask better questions, navigate multi-generational complexity, and support families to achieve clarity, alignment and lasting outcomes.
