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.

why you have to define your customer first

there are six steps to value pricing, but don’t skip ahead.

by jody padar
radical pricing – by the radical cpa

can you remember doing business before cell phones or social media? you really don’t have to be too old to remember because change happens fast. in fact, if you are over 50, you probably remember when every home had a landline, firms advertised in the yellow pages, and accountants charged hourly for mundane compliance tasks.

it really wasn’t that long ago when the internet was intriguing rather than indispensable.

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.
