    I am a second year accounting student, changing careers from a military and blue collar background. This podcast along with the website big4transparency.com have become essential parts of my internship hunt and career seeking. Dominic has truly provided tools to help put power in the hands of staff rather than only those at the top. His interview style is incredible and very engaging. Thanks to him for all his hard work.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Private Equity, Partner Alignment, and the Rise of CAS with Matthew May
Q: How did you approach structuring the deal to manage different partner goals (cash vs equity)?
They reviewed five offers, considering varied structures including cash upfront, equity participation, earnouts, and seller notes, and ultimately chose an option that allowed some partners to take more upfront cash while others took more equity or favorable terms later, despite initial disalignment.
Private Equity, Partner Alignment, and the Rise of CAS with Matthew May
Q: What motivated Acuity to pursue a deal with a private equity partner like Sorren?
The team was exploring multiple paths, aiming to align with a partner that would allow input on culture, governance, and strategic direction, while also giving them the structure to scale and guide a larger CAS practice within a platform.
Why Clients Leave Accountants with Sam’s List Co-Founder Kimi Green
Q: What is Sam's List and how did it start?
Sam's List began as a response to Sam Parr's need for a CPA; it started as a review-based directory to help business owners find accountants, bookkeepers, and financial advisors, expanding from CPAs to include broader financial services as trust and reviews grew.
Building Sustainably and Synergies with Wealth Advisory with Owen Pryor & Steve Blake
Q: How do you structure your service offerings to avoid traditional billable-hour bottlenecks?
We use a defined scope with a flat monthly fee, and we adjust via a clear change process if the scope expands; this keeps clients from feeling nickel-and-dimed and encourages ongoing dialogue.
AI & Accelerating Talent with Jody Padar
Q: How does the PICPA investment influence the direction of XcelLabs and the adoption of Navi in the profession?
The investment signals a belief that humans must remain at the center of the profession; it supports a path where AI amplifies human capabilities rather than replacing them, aligning with a mission to keep CPAs central and relevant through upskilling and better client conversations.
