This is an insightful discussion on the future of the accounting profession, featuring an esteemed panel of accounting industry leaders and experts - Gary Boomer, Val Steed, Sarah Beale, and Bob Lewis. They delve into the current state of accounting, the need for change, potential threats like AI and automation, the importance of rebranding and improving the profession's perception, the relevance of accounting qualifications, predictions for the profession's future, and more. The panel acknowledges that while accounting has historically been stable, it's currently facing the most profound changes from all angles - economic shifts, regulatory uncertainties, technological disruptions like AI, and a severe talent shortage. They emphasize that to remain relevant, the profession must adapt, innovate, improve processes, diversify talent, focus on advisory services, leverage technology intelligently, and most importantly, change its perception among the youth to attract the required talent. Key Takeaways: - The accounting profession is amid a transformative period driven by the accelerated pace of change, AI/automation, increased private equity investments, and changing workforce dynamics. Firms that fail to adapt will struggle to survive. - The biggest threat is from entrepreneurs and firms that don't change their mindset from just providing compliance services to becoming strategic advisors understanding and solving clients' core business challenges. - Rebranding the profession is crucial to attract diverse, younger talent by changing the perception that it's just number-crunching to showcasing it as an exciting, entrepreneurial career with varied opportunities. - Accounting qualifications must continuously evolve with changing business needs, emphasizing skills like communication, ethics, sustainability, and digital proficiency along with technical expertise. - Key predictions include greater advisory services adoption, private equity/consolidation, AI-driven automation of routine tasks, and the rise of accounting "big-box" firms offering integrated professional services. - It's an opportune time in accounting, presenting transformative prospects for those willing to develop required skills, embrace technology, focus on advisory/consulting services, and be part of steering the profession's narrative. - Sarah Beale ◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢ The is one of the world's leading shows for accounting leaders, professionals, finance specialists, software vendors, tech providers and influencers.

Join Katie Thomas CPA, a top accounting influencer, as she reveals the secrets to successful podcasting for accountants and CPAs. Rob Brown interviews Katie Thomas, a podcasting expert, about the benefits of podcasting for accountants and finance professionals. Katie makes a compelling case for why podcasting is worth the investment of time and resources, even in a crowded space with over 5 million active podcasts. Katie explains how podcasting helps build relationships and trust with both existing and prospective clients. It establishes you as an expert in your niche and gives you a platform to share valuable insights. Podcasting also generates content that can be repurposed across social media, your website, and other marketing channels. Some of the key benefits Katie highlights are: Podcasting builds intimate, "peri-social" relationships with your audience at scale. It's an evergreen source of content that continues generating value long after publication. You gain access to incredibly granular analytics about your listeners. It helps with recruiting talented team members who want to be part of something perceived as great. The barrier to entry is lower than most people think - you don't need millions of downloads to derive tremendous value. Katie also offers practical tips for getting started, like batch recording episodes in advance for busy seasons and working with a professional agency so you only have to focus on the recording. Key Takeaways: ➯ Podcasting builds trust and relationships with your audience. ➯ It establishes you as an expert in your niche. ➯ A podcast spearheads content that can be repurposed across channels. ➯ You don't need millions of listeners to benefit. ➯ Consider hiring an agency to handle production so you simply have to record. ➯"Podcasting is a way that you can build peri-social relationships. So you don’t have to go out 1 by 1 to all these people listening to your podcast or consuming your content that. your content that’s a byproduct of that podcast, but rather those people, they feel like they know you, they like you, they trust you, but you’re doing it on a mass scale." ◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢ The is one of the world's leading shows for accounting leaders, professionals, finance specialists, software vendors, tech providers and influencers.

In this special edition of the Accounting Influencers Podcast, hosted by Martin Bissett, featuring Gordon King from The World of Twist, the conversation delves into the intersection of creativity and accounting in the music industry. Gordon King shares insights into the rise and fall of The World of Twist, a band he co-founded, shedding light on the financial dynamics within the group. As creative professionals navigating the music scene, the band members initially had little business acumen and entrusted their manager with handling finances. Gordon reflects on the naivety and excitement that often accompany young musicians signing major record deals, highlighting the importance of understanding contracts and financial arrangements in the music business. The discussion provides a fascinating glimpse into the challenges faced by creative individuals when dealing with the business side of their careers. YOUTUBE You can watch this episode and more on our YouTube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/@accountinginfluencers GUEST BIO World of Twist was an English indie pop band formed in Sheffield in 1985, experienced various lineup changes throughout history. The band's original lineup featured James Fry (vocals), Andrew Hobson (bass guitar), Gordon King (guitar), Tony Ogden (drums), Rory Conolly (saxophone), Nick Phillips (organ), and Andy Robbins (synthesizer). After disbanding, a new lineup emerged in Manchester in 1986. While the band gained attention for their live shows and radio sessions, their debut album, "Quality Street" (1991), didn't receive significant critical or commercial success. Despite not touring North America, "Sons of the Stage" succeeded in Toronto and New York. Creative differences and Ogden's decision to stop singing contributed to the band's dissolution in 1992. QUATERMASS III is the pilot recording of this exciting project that came from the minds behind World of Twist, Earl Brutus, and The Dials. Presented by The Ministry of Light Entertainment in collaboration with the British Experimental Rocket Group and Science Monthly, QUATERMASS III promises to be a unique and groundbreaking musical endeavour. ◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢ If you like the show, we'd appreciate a review on whatever platform you listen to.
