accounting arc

with byron patrick and donny shimamoto
center for accounting transformation

licensure is one of the bedrock features of the cpa profession. but what if that bedrock is actually quicksand? in a provocative episode of accounting arc, hosts donny shimamoto, cpa.citp, cgma; and byron patrick, cpa.citp, cgma,  sit down with noted author and thought leader ron baker to ask: should cpas even be licensed at all?

baker begins with a history lesson, tracing professions back to ancient babylon and the code of hammurabi. a profession, he explains, rests on three pillars: a common body of expertise, autonomy with exclusion, and a duty of service to the public. by that definition, he argues, not all licensed occupations—such as florists or interior decorators—qualify.

the disruptors
with liz farr

joe woodard sees a disconnect between what accountants think they’re selling and what clients want to buy. many accountants still believe they are selling time, but as woodard points out with a vivid analogy, that’s not what clients care about.

“if i’m going into cvs and i need tums,” he explains, imagine if cvs charged you more because “i hung around in their store for twice as long to buy the tums as i needed to, i took a circuitous path. maybe i looked at some of the kids’ toys for an upcoming birthday party where they’re going to charge me twice as much for the tums.”

this absurd scenario mirrors what accounting firms do to clients when the cost of delivering the service depends on the time it takes to do the work, so “the value of the product changes based on some arbitrary time metric,” woodard says. “as long as that’s the case, there’s always going to be a resistance to the billing for selling the wrong product.”

however, even among firms that have adopted value pricing, a disconnect remains because the focus is on deliverables rather than outcomes.

big 4 transparency
by dominic piscopo, cpa
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

in an industry marked by incremental change and cautious tradition, tim petrey, managing partner at hd growth partners, is going all-in on a radical reimagining of what an accounting firm can be. speaking on the big 4 transparency podcast, petrey shares how his firm has abandoned the tired trappings of the old model – mandatory billable hours, rigid promotion timelines, and siloed service delivery – in favor of a more dynamic, entrepreneurial approach.

and he isn’t just talking about change, he’s living it.

the episode dives deep into how hd growth partners embraces a consulting-first approach, using accounting services as a wedge rather than a foundation. the firm encourages team members, even juniors, to build one-on-one relationships with clients. petrey believes the best learning happens on the job, with mentorship layered into real-world client work. this, he argues, is what keeps staff engaged and clients loyal.
