Driving Digital Strategy & Cloud Accounting Best Practice

Stuart Hurst is Director of Cloud Accounting and National Chair of Cloud at UHY*. He now manages the entire UK national roll out of cloud, and has seen the award winning team achieve platinum Xero & QBO status. His knowledge and passion for combining accounting with technological advancements is boundless, which is paramount in an office where change has been rarely encountered and where questioning best practice is a constant challenge.

In this episode he talks about leadership, strategy and the importance of 'why' when it comes to driving change, cloud adoption and new initiatives.
