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.

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.
Predicting the next 15 years in accounting
Q: How is AI being integrated into the Rise2040 process and the profession at large?
AI was used to analyze prior reports and inputs from thousands of participants, and to help generate draft projections; the conversation emphasizes balancing AI with human judgment, governance, and professional skepticism, with finance leading AI governance and providing internal controls.
Predicting the next 15 years in accounting
Q: What is Rise2040 and how does it build on prior long-range projects?
Rise2040 is a continuation and expansion of AICPA's long-range visioning efforts, using hard trends and broad member input to forecast how the accounting profession will evolve over 15 years, with a global perspective and more emphasis on technology and governance.
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.
