That's a first for me, selling CAS services being compared to selling beef. "We are the butcher, we look at all the cuts but ultimately we are selling the whole cow."-Nathan McEown, CEO, @whitleypenn on Designing a Scalable Advisory and CAS Strategy #FGFEast #accounting #advisory

Small bugaboo: It's CAS/CAAS not "KAZ". Carry on

AI is already entering accounting workflows. But what happens when the person who built your firm’s AI process leaves? That was one of the practical risks Nick Chandi raised during our Tax Season 2027 conversation. @Nick_Chandi and @b2bSeth also got into: → Why security tools can’t protect a firm from every human mistake → Why backups themselves need protection from ransomware → How manual AP processes add more pressure during busy season → Why firms should digitize repetitive workflows before the workload peaks Missed the live session? Catch the full conversation and start thinking about what your firm should fix before Tax Season 2027. 🎥 Watch the full webinar: piped.video/_2bTRZT4GKc?si=jxb-… #TaxSeason2027 #AccountingFirms #CPA #AIinAccounting #AccountingTechnology #Cybersecurity

I used to be critical of accountants/accounting firms for working too many hours. Specifically, January through April and then in the fall. I was young and on a crusade to change the industry. Some things are out of your control, and working long hours just comes with the job. But there are a lot of things you can control to help manage your hours. Is trying to manage and spread work over the year the best way? No. Do I care if you prefer to have busy seasons vs. not having to work >40 hours/week? Not anymore. Do I care if you think there's no other option and don't want to work crazy hours? 100%! Is it possible to make as much money working <40 hours week vs. someone who has busy seasons? Yep! And vice versa. I'm on team spread the work out. Why? Because being unavailable for almost 1/3 of the year is not worth it to me.

👉 piped.video/JPwCkMvuNDQ?si=HLK1… Long hours. Weekend emails. Busy season pressure. But what if burnout in accounting starts much earlier, with the way firms define value, leadership, and workplace culture? In this conversation, @B2BSeth, Founder of Accountants Forward, speaks with @RCrabtreeCPA , Founder of Brainstorm Group, about why firms need to address the causes of burnout, not just manage the symptoms. From leadership behavior to firm culture and the pressure to equate hours with value, Randy shares what accounting firms can rethink to build a healthier way of working. ▶️ Watch the full conversation to hear their perspective on burnout, leadership, and the future of accounting firm culture. #Accounting #CPA #AccountingFirms #AccountingLeadership #Burnout #FirmCulture

Some of you in #taxtwitter and #accounting in general need to hear this message more than others: Burnout is not just a "busy season" problem. There is a way through, and @RCrabtreeCPA and I got into it. piped.video/watch?v=JPwCkMvu…
