accounting arc
with donny shimamoto

center for accounting transformation

build a 7-figure firm in just 4 hours a week!

in an era when private equity rollups and “bigger is better” narratives dominate accounting headlines, donny shimamoto, cpa.citp, cgma, returns to a quieter question: what does it look like to build a firm — and a career — around serving the places that rarely get the spotlight?

in this episode of accounting arc, shimamoto sits down with two practitioners who live that reality every day: shayna chapman, who runs a practice rooted in a small ohio community, and mohan chirumamilla, who serves clients across omaha, nebraska, and columbia, missouri. their conversation is part practical playbook, part gut-check — and it lands on a message that feels increasingly urgent for the profession: small towns still need sophisticated accounting, and accountants still need work that feels meaningful.
