in a move that has shocked the global entertainment industry, president trump proposed a 100 percent tariff on all foreign-made films entering the u.s. market. the declaration via truth social framed the policy as a patriotic push to “make movies in america again,” citing national security concerns and the erosion of domestic film production.

accounting influencers
with rob brown

want to stand out in your firm? build a loyal client base? attract speaking gigs, promotions, or even media opportunities? in this episode of accounting influencers, the answer isn’t more certifications or hours—it’s writing. publicly.

rob brown makes a bold claim: writing publicly is the most effective, accessible move accounting professionals can make to shape their careers—and almost no one is doing it. not because it’s hard, but because they’re afraid.

“this one habit can take you from being another face in the crowd to a trusted voice in your field,” he says. “and trust me, it’s a lot easier than you think.”

technical competence alone is no longer enough. clients and firms are looking for accountants who can lead, communicate, and inspire confidence. public writing—on linkedin, blogs, newsletters, or industry sites—is one of the most efficient ways to showcase your expertise and build trust at scale.

business development on a budget

if winning new clients is simply a matter of being yourself, why is selling so difficult for accountants? well, it’s a combination of several factors, but there are two main reasons.

first, accountants have not traditionally been required to sell. maybe your practice has grown by referral – business has come to you and you haven’t had to do much to win that business. unfortunately, however, business doesn’t always walk through the door; you don’t know how often it will, or what caliber it will be when it does.

the disruptors
with liz farr

randy crabtree believes the biggest shift accounting needs isn’t in technology or tax law—it’s in mindset. for decades, the profession has prized consistency and predictability.

but in a time of demographic disruption and rapid innovation, crabtree argues that clinging to “same as last year” thinking is holding the profession back.

“we have to embrace change,” he says. “this is a massive opportunity to start thinking differently.”

and for crabtree, that change is deeply personal. a stroke more than a decade ago sparked a transformation that reshaped his life, leadership, and mission. now, he champions vulnerability, passion, and purpose as the new pillars of a thriving accounting career—and he believes the profession’s best days are just beginning.

crabtree’s vision for accounting starts with reimagining relationships—both with clients and with ourselves.

“it’s not just about shifting services. it’s about shifting how we see our role,” he explains. “we have to stop thinking of ourselves as just technicians and start thinking of ourselves as partners in our clients’ futures.”
