Future-ProofYour Business Model is Not Your Why | with Will HillSummer’s over, October’s here, and things are changing. But that’s the state of our world today, isn’t it? And not just when it comes to the weather. Change is the new normal, and that can be an uncomfortable thing, especially for CPAs. But for those who are ready to embrace it — to adapt a more nimble and flexible mindset — there are a lot of opportunities just waiting to be taken advantage of.The question is, then, how do we do that? How do we start embracing flexibility an...2019-09-3034 min

We’ve had conversations on the topic with Tom Peters, Karl Alrichs, Jamie Notter, Richard Silberstein, and David Barrett — and that’s because it’s a REALLY important conversation to be having! Really, there might not be a bigger or more important differentiator in business today than your culture. If you get it right, you’re going to have a leg up in recruitment and retention, for one, but you’ll also just be doing business wi...2019-09-2329 min

There are exceptions, of course. There are some accounting and finance pros out there who take pride in getting ahead of new technologies early. But a sizeable part of the profession hasn’t made that leap yet. So Blake Oliver, co-host of the Cloud Accounting Podcast, joins us to assess where we’re at in the profession when...2019-09-0236 minFuture-ProofDoing Digital Vs. Being Digital | with Matt LoebHow do you transform your organization into a truly digital organization? It’s not as simple as it sounds.

So, we’re joined by Matt Loeb, principal of Optimal Performance Seekers and acting CEO of SECURE, who is simply one of the deepest thinkers about what it means to be digital in an increasingly digital world.

But there are many other hard trends — a.k.a. future facts, a.k.a. things that we know are going to happen – that will have a huge impact on what we do.

We’re all about accounting for what has happened, and history tells us that what will happen is not our problem. Except, here’s the thing: We’re living in a world where we’ll be flattened by what’s in front of us if we don’t take the time to look for it, if we don’t take the time to turn around and look for what futurist Andrew Zolli would call those...2019-07-2229 minFuture-ProofNavigating the Twists & Turns of Your Career | with Tony NittiWe’re going to talk about your career path today.

The World is Changing. | with Bill ReebThe accounting and finance profession as we know it seems to be under assault. New technologies, staggering legislation and regulations, demographic shifts that are reshaping the face of workforces — we’re experiencing change and complexity on a level we’ve never seen before. Or is that really true? In a way, when you think about it, none of what we’re experiencing right now is new.

We’...2019-06-2438 minFuture-ProofWhy We Should Adopt a Moonshot Mindset | with Sherif Hallaba and Travis DirksOur guests this week have a challenge for all accounting and finance professionals: start thinking in terms of moonshots. Now, you might be asking yourself, what in the world is a moonshot? It’s a huge, seemingly insurmountable quest that is ultimately inspirational and game-changing in nature. It’s something that, when achieved, changes the boundary between possible and impossible – just like the USA’s attempt to land Apollo 11 on the moon almost exactly 50 years ago. Sherif Hallaba and Travis Dirks are the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer, respectively, for an org...2019-06-1742 minFuture-ProofScaling Our Lives by Seeing Things Differently | with Brian SolisOur guest this week is Brian Solis, who you’re probably already familiar with if you’re conference nerds like us. He describes himself as a digital analyst, an anthropologist, and a futurist; he has studied the effects of emerging technology on business, marketing, and culture; and he’s written best-selling books like Engage, The End of Business as Usual, and What’s the Future of Business?

Thanks to advances in technology and other disruptions, organizations are expecting their CFOs to play an increasingly strategic role; to actually help drive strategy in the organization, rather than just leading their department and crunching numbers. It’s a fairly recent phenomenon, but it’s happening quite quickly, and getting up to speed on that is just the latest challenge that finance chiefs are facing. Joining the show to offer some insight on the fluc...2019-06-0327 minFuture-ProofReport: “The Rise of Artificial Intelligence: A Critical Inflection Point for the Accounting Profession” | with Kacee JohnsonToday’s topic is A.I. Artificial intelligence. You might have heard about it? It’s that thing everyone’s been talking about for the last five years or so. Yeah, the hype is out of this world. But here’s the thing, and there’s really no getting around it: this isn’t something entirely new or groundbreaking. The technology itself is new, but we’ve been through this before. Excel was supposed to kill our profession, remember? Then came the Internet, and Turbotax, and the cloud. And you know what? We’re still here, adding grea...2019-05-2728 minFuture-ProofThe Excellence Dividend | with Tom PetersA lot of folks talk about this notion of becoming future-ready as if it’s some sort of magic trick. They paint a picture of a future where we need to learn all kinds of new stuff — new skills, new technologies, new strategies, and new business models — in order to out-maneuver the machines and remain relevant. And to some extent, that’s true. We’ve got some serious work to do from here on in. But on the other hand, there is a school of thought — a pretty well-supported and powerful school of thought — that says in order t...2019-05-2049 minFuture-ProofAre Accounting & Finance Regulators Future-Ready? | with Terri PolleyOver the past year, we’ve spent a lot of time talking about how the accounting and finance profession is changing – but we haven’t spent nearly as much time talking about how those who regulate our profession are changing. So, on today’s episode, we sit down with Terri Polley, (outgoing) president and CEO of the Financial Accounting Foundation. The FAF is an independent, not-for-profit, private-sector organization that is responsible for the oversight of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, or GASB.

It was another busy one, including some CPA-related legislation that will impact accounting and finance professionals, not just here in Maryland but throughout the country. Legislative advocacy, according to our members, is the most important thing that the MACPA does for them, and our president and CEO Tom Hood takes that role very seriously. So, today, we talk to Tom about what went down in Annapolis and how it is likely to impa...2019-05-0619 minFuture-ProofBuilding Tomorrow's Leaders Today | with Emmanuel Gobillot & Katherine ThomasWhere are we going to find tomorrow’s leaders? We’ve been doing these podcasts for almost a year now, and as much talking as we’ve done about the future, the missing ingredient in all of those conversations has been leadership. We just haven’t spent much time talking about future leadership, and with 10,000 baby boomers retiring every day, that’s a critical part of becoming future-ready. So this week, we are talking to Emmanuel Gobillot and Katherine Harris, co-authors of Unleash Your Leader: How to Win in Business. It's a blueprint...2019-04-1537 minFuture-ProofDiving Deep into Management Accounting | with Jeff ThomsonIf you ask most people — not all, but MOST people — outside of the profession what an accountant does, they’ll probably say “taxes,” or “auditing,” or some variation on the tasks of people who work in public accounting. But they’re missing about half of the profession, of course. You’ve got educators, you’ve got accountants who work for nonprofits and governments, and you have those who work in business and industry, which is arguably the largest segment of the profession – and that’s why, today, we’re diving deep into the world of management accounting....2019-04-0829 minFuture-ProofThe Anticipatory Organization: Accounting and Finance Edition | with Tom HoodWe’ve talked quite a bit in past shows about this notion of “anticipation,” and we’ve talked about this concept as if it’s a skill or competency that you can learn – and it is, but we haven’t spent a lot of time talking about how how you do that. So, how can you become more anticipatory? How can you train yourself to look for future trends and spot the opportunities those trends provide, and then take advantage of those opportunities before your competition does? Joining the show again to help us do all...2019-04-0132 minFuture-ProofThe Entrepreneurial Mindset | with David MammanoToday we’re discussing why accounting and finance professionals have a lot to gain from adopting an entrepreneurial mindset. Entrepreneurship isn’t something that many accounting and finance pros have a lot of experience with, but we’re in an era when at least thinking like an entrepreneur can go a long way toward becoming more future-ready. Entrepreneurs just look at the world differently, and adapting an entrepreneur’s mindset might help us evolve a little faster and become just a little more future-ready. Our guest David Mammano is...2019-03-2539 minFuture-ProofCreating Future-Ready Education | with Kelly Richmond PopeWe hope you have your thinking caps on, because today we’re going to be talking about education in this episode – and this is probably the right thing to be talking about for the accounting and finance profession! We talk about skills quite frequently on this show – the skills we’re going to need to remain relevant in a changing and complex world – so it seems appropriate that we spend some time talking about where we’re going to be getting these skills, and who’s gonna be teaching them to us. So... should a...2019-03-1837 minFuture-ProofStop, Collaborate, & Listen | with Rebekah BrownEveryone talks about the importance of collaboration, but what does it really mean? Working together? Teamwork? Sharing ideas? It’s one of those things that’s hard to define, but we know it when we see it. And because of that, it’s something that everyone defines differently. But here’s the thing – every list of the most crucial future-ready skills for our profession includes collaboration. Every single one. So we have to figure out a definition that everyone can embrace. And here to help us figure that out is Rebekah Brown, the d...2019-03-1137 min
Accounting Marketing Doesn't SuckBill Sheridan: Moving into the Future with AI“What we do isn’t really going to fundamentally change over time. How we do it is going to change tremendously.” In this episode of Accounting Marketing Doesn’t Suck, host Hugh Duffy talks with Bill Sheridan, chief communications officer at the Maryland Association of CPAs. Bill has been with MACPA for nearly two decades and shares his perspective on how artificial intelligence is impacting the accounting profession, content marketing (and outsourcing the marketing function, in general) as well as why firms should be concerned with RONI (Risk of Not Investing) rather than the typical ROI. Tune in!...2019-03-0500 minFuture-ProofThe Outsourced Accountant | with Nick SinclairJust how busy are you? We’re all busy. Some would argue that we, collectively, are busier than ever before – but the reason that’s true isn’t necessarily because we have more work to do than ever. We all make time for the stuff that’s really important and valuable to us. So if we find ourselves really busy with things that aren’t important or valuable, that just means, to paraphrase Ferris Bueller, that our priorities are way out of whack, and we’ve got to do something to get them back in...2019-03-0434 minFuture-ProofCritical Thinking & Strategic Planning: Paths to Future-Readiness | with Jennifer ElderWe're talking about strategic planning and critical thinking today, or planning strategically and thinking critically, or critical strategy and planning to think – or whatever you want to call it.

Brian is also a CPA, so he brings a lot of those key business and finance insights directly into Maryland’s Senate Chamber. He’s a great partner of the profession and we’ve worked with him many times on a number of key bills. Even if you don’t live in Maryland, we think it’s important that you take a few minutes and listen in on this conversation, and here’s why: We all know what’s happening in Washington thes...2019-02-1135 minFuture-ProofPrioritizing People | with Karl AhlrichsThis show is called “Future-Proof,” but when it comes to the future, we’ve been focusing on trends, strategies, visions, resources, regulations, skills, competencies, and business models. Do you know what’s missing from that list? People. And people are probably the most important factor in all of these future-ready conversations – because they’re the ones who are going to make all of that stuff happen. So as we work to make ourselves and our organizations more future-ready, one of our first steps has to be figuring out how to surround ourselves with...2019-02-0440 minFuture-ProofMindBridge: A.I. for Small Firms | with Samantha BowlingArtificial intelligence is one of those technologies that we’ve been talking about for years as a possible disrupter for our profession, as a possible job destroyer, and as a possible opportunity generator. Well, you can officially take the word “possible” out of all of those phrases – A.I. is here, and it’s delivering as advertised. And our guest Samantha Bowling, CPA, CGMA, can attest to that. Samantha is a partner with Garbelman Winslow, where she has put an A.I.-based audit solution to work that’s given the firm a huge co...2019-01-2124 minFuture-ProofCulture Management | with Jamie NotterCulture is one of the most important factors contributing to the success of your organization. There are some people who will argue this point, who don’t see any connection between culture and productivity, execution, or profits. There are also people who think if they put a foosball table in the break room and let their employees wear jeans, they’ll create a kick-ass culture – and all of those people are wrong. Culture will determine how engaged your employees are, and judging by recent research, they’re probably not very engaged at all.

We already know what the disruptors are, we know about the potential impacts they’ll have on our profession, and we’ve talked about them to death lately – but not nearly as many people are talking about the opportunities that these disruptions offer us. That changes today.

Bill works for the Maryland Association of CPAs, which means he doesn’t technically work in the accounting and finance profession. But when it comes right down to it, it’s like splitting hairs. These two professions are remarkably similar in how they operate, in their state of future-readiness, and in their willingness to embrace change. Accountants and association folks are kindred spirits in a lot ways. And so we’re exc...2018-11-1943 min
