Kruggel Lawton is pleased to announce the firm received the Innovation Award at this year's BDO Alliance USA Conference in Las Vegas. The Innovation Award recognizes a firm that demonstrates a commitment to innovative thinking, creative problem-solving, and inspiring others to evolve beyond what is expected in order to create meaningful change. This award is intended to spotlight those who have had a positive impact on society and/or the profession.

Kruggel Lawton's award submission highlighted the internal work of our KLimb to 2030 team, a group of future leaders who are focused on exploring growth and opportunities.

"The KLimb team spent the last year doing a deep dive into the current needs of our clients and the firm, coming up with a plan of action to more efficiently use our resources, and trying to predict the future needs of our clients," said Barry Hall, Managing Partner at Kruggel Lawton. "We purposefully didn't include any partners on this team to encourage the KLimb members to explore all ideas without restraints. They are the future of the firm and will continue to serve our community for years to come."

The BDO Alliance Awards is an annual program that recognizes Alliance firms with outstanding business practices. It's an opportunity for BDO to recognize select firms in our community for their accomplishments over the past year. 2022 and 2023 offered unique opportunities for businesses to evolve under the current business climate, innovate their services, and grow their practices. For consideration, members submitted summaries detailing their firmwide efforts over the past year in four categories.
