Before we head into the final weekend of June, I’d like to say a quick THANK YOU to everyone who has helped make my first year as Tax CEO so memorable. Time flies when you’re having fun, and the past 12 months have certainly been a whirlwind, but also so rewarding.     While I never imagined when joining Deloitte as an intern that I would one day be leading a practice of over 18,000 people, I have always aimed to make my mark in every role I held. Looking back on my first year in the job, however, there are many things that stand out for the impact they have had on ME.    From navigating the emergence of GenAI to seeing how our people show up and do purposeful work every day while creating an impact that matters, I’ve been so proud of everything we do.     But perhaps the most impactful moments have occurred in the conversations I’ve been lucky enough to have with so many of our people. Over the past year I’ve had the privilege to show up, listen, and practice the art of allyship at some incredible events, including numerous office visits, the National Association for Black Accountants conference, Deloitte Tax’s Purpose & DEI Summit, the Out and Equal Workplace Summit, and our Hispanic and Latinx Summit, among others.     While I always took something meaningful away from events like these in the past, I was not prepared for how humbled I felt experiencing them as a CEO. To everyone who approached me to share your story: thank you. Our collective experiences make us stronger, and there is no doubt in my mind that Deloitte's commitment to building lasting and meaningful relationships truly sets us apart.    Over the past year, I’ve also been reminded that to do my best as a leader, it’s important that I am disconnecting periodically too. Next week, like many, I'm looking forward to celebrating the 4th of July with my family while also taking time to rest and recharge. I hope others will join me in some much-deserved fun, time with friends and family, and fireworks!     #DeloitteTax #ImpactThatMatters #PeopleFirst #LeadingwithPurpose

5 Values from the NExT Team   A few weeks ago our Deloitte NExT team met in NYC to chart our course for the coming year. Not only is my personal gratitude for this team running at an all-time high, but so is my love for the culture we've created and the values we've sought to embrace.   I'd love to share a few of our values below, and (in the spirit of value no. 2) would love to hear your two cents as well.   1. Insatiably curious We believe in being learners > knowers, celebrating interdisciplinary backgrounds, experimenting and tinkering firsthand, and leading with an open-mind.   2. Radically honest Anti-groupthink, pro-dialogue. We seek to embrace a culture of feedback, so that we individually and collectively can continue to grow (see no. 3).   3. Growth-oriented We're committed to being a "capital T" Team (not a collection of colleagues), and that means investing in each other's growth. We also seek to be "self-driving cars" - self-starters who can drive new work on their own, but can loop in other cars when needed.   4. Impact-focused Living by the phrase "work smarter, not harder" with a focus on results, being responsive to the market, and always keeping our feet on the ground - even if our eyes are to the skies.   5. Consciously considerate We embrace discussions on tech ethics, seek to create an inclusive culture where we can all bring our authentic selves to work, and treat each other with deep respect.   These values aren't anything without the people who live 'em. Mike, Lucas, Taylor, Hillary, Daniel, Mark, Bill, and the entire broader Office of the CTO team - thank you. For not just talkin' the talk, but walkin' it too.   -RB

Embrace diversity in your interests. This has been my guiding principle throughout my 2.5-year journey in the consulting field at EY Germany.   Large corporations may turn out to be a fertile ground for myriad opportunities, tailored to multiple individuals' paths. Today, I am excited to share my personal journey in the consulting industry, a trail that led me through diverse business areas, equipping me with experience and knowledge.   Check out the pages below where I unravel my story :)   #eyconsulting #eygermany Niklas Oldiges, Jos Töller, Nicole Alina Hildenbrand, Anna Calandra, Francesca Cardani, Benjamin Reisewitz, Lorenzo Dragano, Dario Lizio

"I’ll never work for a Big Four."   That’s what a younger me once thought. Yet here I am, with LinkedIn reminding me to celebrate my 8-year journey at KPMG Belgium 💙 —and, even more exciting, my promotion to Director! 🎉 Looking back, I vividly remember those early days. Coming from academia, I was thrown into a new world of policies, procedures, compliance, risk management, timesheets, tight deadlines, and last-minute changes. It was overwhelming at first, and I struggled quite a lot, but I’m so grateful I took that leap . Over those years, KPMG has been much more than just a workplace. It’s a company that upholds quality and integrity above all else, fosters a culture of collaboration, works intensively on diversity and inclusion and encourages every individual to seize opportunities and grow both professionally and personally. KPMG has been the place that made a difference to me . Celebrating this promotion, a special thanks to Bart Meyer – my coach and mentor over the past year, for showing me new dimensions of leadership and guiding me towards this new role. Peter Van den Spiegel and Nicolas Dubois - the founders of our Lighthouse family—thank you for every opportunity, for believing in me, for constantly challenging me. I’m grateful every day to be part of your team, delivering impactful projects in data and AI together.   Here's to many more years ahead 🚀! Picture dates from my first year at KPMG when we were rated 1st in Data & Analytics by Forrester Research and where we had the splendid idea to celebrate with 10.000 balloons 😅   #KPMGBelgium #AI #KPMGLighthouse

This article is somewhat misleading. 90 delay in promotions out of 3500. That is not a problem. The article does not address if the 90 hires are meeting their productivity goals, which is crucial in any consulting firm. Are they doing what’s necessary for their career growth? Is their market as profitable as other big 4 business lines? Theses are questions to be asked. Also no matter how well you support employees growth you have to ask yourself what makes a business sense for your company. I believe in good business people partners at big 4s are taking everything into consideration.

Get ready “to team” 🙌🏼 Yes, team has become a verb. Teaming is the top priority among executives, according to Deloitte. But you won’t see more of the same old teams. Deloitte predicts that teams will need to function like those on a movie project where people from different disciplines and departments are brought together to work on a specific project. Once the work is completed, the employees will move on to a new endeavour. What this means for you is that your interpersonal skills need to be honed. Your ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and diverse personalities will influence your success. Increased team-based projects also require adaptability and quickly coming up to speed on new initiatives. Read more: https://buff.ly/3TKbfxy
