Artwork for Accounting Today Podcast

Latest Episodes

A look inside what it takes to truly get the most out of your firm's technology, based on the results of our annual Best Firms for Technology list, and with insights from Roman Kepczyk of Rightworks.

The serious new pressures facing governments of all sizes are changing their financial reporting, says Joel Black, the chair of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board -- and GASB has a lot of projects underway to help them.

Your firm won't grow just because you want it to; it requires the kind of disciplined, intentional approach that Jane Woodling, marketing director of Marketri, lays out in this episode.

While concerns remain about the profession's pipeline of new accountants, Cathy Moy, chief people officer at BDO USA, sees plenty of ways to keep it full -- and to make sure it meets firms' demands for all kinds of talent.

4.1 out of 5 stars from 110 ratings
  • The PE, Offshoring, and AI Podcast

    I think this podcast was better before it focused almost entirely on the concerns of firm owners trying to retire while squeezing their firm for as much money as possible before doing so. The simple answer to the “pipeline problem”? Stop advocating for private equity buyouts, offshoring to India, and AI that has yet to prove it can do anything a first year associate couldn’t.

  • Great host, guests, and content

    Content is great. Host is great too.

    POD rating should be higher. Puzzling to me it isn’t.

  • Pros and cons

    4 stars for extremely relevant content. 2 stars for presentation. Overall 3 stars mainly because the host makes my heart rate go through the roof. He speaks so fast and cuts off the guests constantly. Slowing down the playback speed of the podcast doesn’t work because it then slows the guests voice too much. I want to listen, but struggle to get through 5 minutes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What makes a Best Firm for Technology?
Q: What mistakes do firms commonly make when trying to advance technology adoption?
Letting senior partners who created legacy processes drive the tech decisions, instead of assigning accountable departments to develop ROI, pilot solutions, and propose adoption plans to the broader firm.
What makes a Best Firm for Technology?
Q: What are some practical steps firms can take to become more tech-forward?
Establish an innovation or process-improvement team led by technology-enthusiastic SMEs, conduct weekly cross-department discussions, run fast pilots, and scale successful solutions firm-wide with proper budgeting and executive support.
What makes a Best Firm for Technology?
Q: How do tech strategies influence recruitment and the kind of talent firms look for?
Tech-forward firms increasingly seek data-savvy professionals and those who can work with AI tools, data governance, and process automation, while traditional IT roles evolve toward governance and platform integration rather than on-premise infrastructure alone.
What makes a Best Firm for Technology?
Q: To you then, what exactly does it mean when a firm is tech-focused versus a firm that happens to have tech?
A tech-focused firm treats technology as a strategic driver embedded in leadership decisions, governance, and day-to-day operations, with a clear IT strategy that aligns with the firm's goals and client delivery, whereas a tech-tolerant firm may adopt tools in silos without a cohesive strategic approach.
The changing world of government financial reporting
Q: What sort of big issues do you see governments facing in terms of their financial reporting specifically?
Stem from the broader pressures of doing more with less, with finance departments struggling to keep up with rising costs in people and technology, while investments are often directed toward frontline services rather than back-office improvements.
