when this show began, the goal was to disseminate ideas that would improve accounting. we wanted the world to know more about people doing things differently than their parents’ or grandparents’ accountants. maybe a firm owner would hear something they could experiment with. or a manager would hear something that the ownership group might be willing to implement. someone with just a few years of experience – or even no experience – would learn about firms that are great places to work. or someone at any level would be inspired to hang out their shingle because of the many examples of people just like them who have done just that.

accounting is changing, thanks to the willingness of firm owners, consultants, coaches, innovators, and thought leaders who have generously shared their intellectual capital. over the last several years, it’s been a privilege to tap into the collective wisdom of the disruptors of this profession.

these conversations provide hope and guidance for the profession. while far too many firms still operate the way they have for decades, with long hours, nonexistent work-life balance, toxic culture, terrible clients, difficult co-workers, and micro-managing bosses, there are many, many firms out there that do not operate that way. we’ve heard through the grapevine that being a guest on this show is a badge of honor. however, we feel even more honored by all the amazing guests and their willingness to openly share their struggles, hopes, and ideas for making accounting better for future generations.

here are 23 of the most important insights from 100 conversations with disruptors.

bissett bullet: the purpose of marketing

today’s bissett bullet: “in direct terms, the purpose of marketing an accounting business is to put appointments with ideal clients in your diary that would be unlikely to have arisen any other way.”

by martin bissett

granted, you still have some work to do if you are to convert these opportunities into fee-paying clients, but if your diary is full then you are getting it right. if on the other hand, your marketing endeavors are not generating appointments, then something will need to change.

today’s to-do:

how many appointments have you booked in the last month as a direct result of your marketing? if you are happy with that number, fantastic. if not, a review is needed.

accounting arc
with liz mason and donny shimamoto
center for accounting transformation

in a stirring pride month episode of the accounting arc podcast, liz mason, cpa, and donny shimamoto, cpa.citp, cgma, confront what it really means to belong in a profession still wrestling with how to talk about identity. 

“bringing your whole self to work is still a radical act,” says shimamoto, founder and managing director of intraprisetechknowlogies llc and founder and inspiration architect for the center for accounting transformation.

for much of his career, it was one he avoided.

both mason, ceo of high rock accounting, and shimamoto spent years hiding parts of themselves to navigate professional expectations. for mason, that meant letting assumptions stand unchecked. “it was easier not to correct people,” she says. “because the stakes were too high.”  read more →
