4.1 out of 5 stars from 109 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.

Hiring for small firms
Q: How does a firm owner know when it's time to make their first full-time hire?
Look for signals where the owner's capacity is limited and client service quality starts to suffer, indicating you're operating below your highest value. If you're constrained by capacity rather than market opportunity, that's a strong cue to hire.
Successfully navigating the dawn of AI
Q: What signals indicate that AI progress in accounting firms is real and not just superficial activity?
The guest explains that true progress comes from aligning AI with end-to-end workflows, achieving organizational optimization, and measuring tangible business outcomes rather than counting automated tasks or pilots alone.
Vibe Coding and Its Discontents
Q: What exactly is Vibe coding? How do people do it and what do they use it for generally?
Ellen explains that vibe coding lets non-engineers talk to AI to generate usable code and apps—ranging from simple internal automations to more complex integrations—without needing to write traditional code, and highlights the practical, varied uses currently seen in CPA firms.
Looking back and ahead at BDO
Q: What do you wish you knew when you first took the helm in 2012?
Leadership is less about having all the answers and more about creating clarity, building trust, and bringing people together around a common goal.
Predicting the next 15 years in accounting
Q: What should accountants do now to prepare for 2040?
Accountants should focus on upskilling, advisory capabilities, data analytics, and critical thinking; simulate training scenarios, adopt new tools, and actively participate in shaping the profession's future through professional development and engagement with industry initiatives.
