  • I am a corporate accountant with 30+ years of experience and I love both the Cloud Accounting Podcast as well as the Earmark Podcast. The hosts are not beholden to being politically correct and can express objective opinions. These podcasts are informative, entertaining, and supply learning experiences that both on and off the radar. Great stuff and Embark also has quality CPE.

    This is such a great podcast, it’s so practical. I’ve tried to listen as I drive or while I’m busy with something but this requires note taking and follow up action. This has helped me in my business. Very well done to Blake, this is utter genius!
