IDA Episode 34, Sam interviews Richard McArtney from Bentleys Newcastle about his reflections on the last 20 years and future predictions for the Australian Accounting Industry.
Sam and Richard discuss his career journey from Industrial Chemistry to Retail Business to Accounting Partner, and how his prior business experience helped his work as an accountant. They then cover the range of digitalisation changes in the last 20+ years in the Australian Accounting Industry, from Y2K compliance to GST to cloud-based accounting to STP.
Richard and Sam explore why the industry needs to get proactive and stop waiting for legislation to force technology take-up and digitalisation, the opportunities we as an industry missed in the last 20 years to help clients avoid ATO debt and improve cashflow and how we can learn from that and grab those opportunities presented to us now.
