BQE CORE AND TEIGER CONSULTING PRESENT

Structured For Success: How to Build an Org Chart That Increases Alignment and Improves Output 

Part 9 of the ‘Designing Your Business’ Masterclass Series


Available on demand


Creating your ideal business structure is more than just deciding if you are an S Corp, LLP, or sole practitioner. This webinar dives into the various options of business structures and the benefits of each type. Equally as important, we’ll develop an accountability chart and define the difference between an organization chart and an accountability chart. Douglas Teiger, FAIA, will guide you through this process whether you are a 1-person firm, 5-person firm or 25-person firm. 

By the end of this session, you will learn how to:

1

List the options for business structures and the benefits for each.  

2

Decide what business structure is right for your firm. 

3

Summarize the difference between an organizational chart and an accountability chart. 

4

Articulate the importance of placing the right person in the right seat.
