for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

what does it take to build one of canada’s fastest-growing cloud accounting firms? in this episode of the big 4 transparency, host dominic piscopo sits down with mike pinkus, co-founder of connectcpa and host of the growth tales podcast, to unpack the bootstrapped, contrarian story behind connectcpa’s rise to over 100 staff and a fully remote, recurring revenue model long before it was trendy.

founded in 2014 by pinkus and co-founder lior zehtser, connectcpa was born from a desire for more autonomy – both personally and professionally. “we just wanted to work for ourselves,” pinkus says. “everything else was a byproduct.” yet within a few years, they found themselves leading a national, cloud-native firm with a deep bench of accounting, tax, and finance professionals serving scaling businesses across north america. read more →

cpaclub, formerly auditclub, operates under a different model. as hervochon explained in his first appearance on the disruptors, cpaclub operates as a subscription service, where pass holders have access on a monthly or annual basis to a team of highly skilled auditors and accountants. this innovative business model undoubtedly contributed to the firm’s recognition as calcpa’s firm of the year for 2025.

move like this
with bonnie buol ruszczyk
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

in a climate where diversity, equity, and inclusion (dei) programs have become political flashpoints, employment attorney aislinn sroczynski of royer cooper cohen braunfeld joins host bonnie buol ruszczyk on move like this to unpack the facts behind the fear. the result is a grounded, no-nonsense discussion on how firms can remain inclusive, compliant, and confident—without compromising their values.

despite the noise, sroczynski reminds us that the legal foundation of dei hasn’t budged. title vii, the ada, the adea, and the equal pay act still form the bedrock of u.s. anti-discrimination law. “what’s changed,” she explains, “is the level of scrutiny.”

that means employers should revisit—not rewrite—their programs to ensure they focus on fairness regardless of protected characteristics, not because of them.

it’s not just the numbers
with penny breslin and damien greathead

for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

in the world of client accounting and advisory services (cas), most firms focus on building internal teams, refining processes, and adopting the right technology. yet, one crucial element often gets overlooked: the client. 

in a recent episode of it’s not just the numbers, co-hosts damien greathead and penny breslin explore why clients must be treated as integral members of the team, and what happens when firms fail to define the client’s role in the process. their conversation, drawn from decades of working with accounting firms around the world, provides a blueprint for cpas and firm owners aiming to elevate their cas practices.

traditionally, accountants position clients as recipients of a service; for example, the client would deliver documents once a year, and the firm would produce a tax return. that transactional model doesn’t work in cas, says breslin.

accounting arc
with liz mason, byron patrick, and donny shimamoto
center for accounting transformation

when the federal government shuts down, headlines focus on politics. but behind every furlough and frozen budget lies a deeper story—one told through accounting cycles, payroll ledgers, and cash flow reports. 

in the latest episode of accounting arc, hosts liz mason, cpa; byron patrick, cpa.citp, cgma; and donny shimamoto, cpa.citp, cgma, break down what really happens when appropriations stall and the business of government grinds to a halt.

“this is the kind of thing accountants think about,” mason says at the start of the episode. “what’s the actual technical answer? what does a shutdown mean for accounts payable, for payroll, for the irs? what’s really happening behind the scenes?” 

their discussion reveals a complex web of accounting impacts—from unpaid invoices and delayed reimbursements to frozen nonprofit grants and confused taxpayers.
