accounting arc
with liz mason and donny shimamoto
center for accounting transformation

in a stirring pride month episode of the accounting arc podcast, liz mason, cpa, and donny shimamoto, cpa.citp, cgma, confront what it really means to belong in a profession still wrestling with how to talk about identity. 

“bringing your whole self to work is still a radical act,” says shimamoto, founder and managing director of intraprisetechknowlogies llc and founder and inspiration architect for the center for accounting transformation.

for much of his career, it was one he avoided.

accounting influencers
with rob brown

want to stand out in your firm? build a loyal client base? attract speaking gigs, promotions, or even media opportunities? in this episode of accounting influencers, the answer isn’t more certifications or hours—it’s writing. publicly.

rob brown makes a bold claim: writing publicly is the most effective, accessible move accounting professionals can make to shape their careers—and almost no one is doing it. not because it’s hard, but because they’re afraid.

“this one habit can take you from being another face in the crowd to a trusted voice in your field,” he says. “and trust me, it’s a lot easier than you think.”

technical competence alone is no longer enough. clients and firms are looking for accountants who can lead, communicate, and inspire confidence. public writing—on linkedin, blogs, newsletters, or industry sites—is one of the most efficient ways to showcase your expertise and build trust at scale.

the disruptors
with liz farr

randy crabtree believes the biggest shift accounting needs isn’t in technology or tax law—it’s in mindset. for decades, the profession has prized consistency and predictability.

but in a time of demographic disruption and rapid innovation, crabtree argues that clinging to “same as last year” thinking is holding the profession back.

“we have to embrace change,” he says. “this is a massive opportunity to start thinking differently.”

and for crabtree, that change is deeply personal. a stroke more than a decade ago sparked a transformation that reshaped his life, leadership, and mission. now, he champions vulnerability, passion, and purpose as the new pillars of a thriving accounting career—and he believes the profession’s best days are just beginning.

crabtree’s vision for accounting starts with reimagining relationships—both with clients and with ourselves.

“it’s not just about shifting services. it’s about shifting how we see our role,” he explains. “we have to stop thinking of ourselves as just technicians and start thinking of ourselves as partners in our clients’ futures.”

as the 2026 sunset of the tax cuts and jobs act looms, one of the least discussed yet most consequential shifts in tax policy is about to hit: the estate tax exemption is set to be cut in half. for high-net-worth individuals—and the cpas who advise them—the clock is ticking.

more jackie meyer

on the latest episode of the concierge cpa, host jackie meyer welcomes justin baker, general counsel at baker wealth strategies, to explain how the looming estate tax changes present both a threat and an opportunity. “if congress does nothing, the current $14 million per-person exemption drops to around $7 million,” baker warns. “for married couples, that’s a potential $14 million reduction in tax-free estate value—and a real risk of a 40% tax on anything above that.”

center for accounting transformation

accountants are often seen as the gatekeepers of financial integrity, but what happens when the client operates a strip club, sells cannabis, or works in legal sex work?

in the latest episode of accounting arc, liz mason, cpa, and byron patrick, cpa.citp, cgma, challenge the idea that “sin” industries are off-limits for ethical professionals. their message: legality, transparency, and harm reduction matter more than personal judgment.

mason, founder and ceo of high rock accounting, has worked with legal sex workers and cannabis companies. she says she doesn’t shy away from these clients. “all companies have a right to good advice,” she says, stressing that ethical boundaries depend more on legality and transparency than personal judgment.

patrick, ceo of verifyiq and educator and co-founder of tb academy, echoes the sentiment. “is it legal, or is it not?” he asks. “that’s a pretty clear ethical line.”

but not all ethical questions are so simple. mason shares a cautionary tale about walking away from a fintech client offering predatory lease agreements. “it was all legal,” she says. “but it was abusive. and that crossed a line for me.”

accounting influencers
with rob brown

do you really know how to work a conference?

sure, you’ve been to plenty—shook hands, sat through sessions, grabbed some swag. but in an era when time, travel, and training budgets are tight, attending a conference without a strategy can cost you more than just money. it can cost you momentum.

in the latest episode of the accounting influencers podcast, host rob brown issues a wake-up call for accounting professionals: conferences are back, and they’re your best opportunity this year to build real influence—if you know how to do it right.

“are you prepared to waste time, money, and opportunities? or are you ready to maximize every ounce of value?” he challenges listeners.

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

in this episode of move like this, jennifer harrity, director of sustainability at sensiba, talks about how b corp certification and esg (environmental, social, and governance) frameworks are reshaping accounting firms from the inside out. originally sensiba’s head of marketing, jennifer pivoted to lead the firm’s sustainability efforts after spearheading its b corp certification in 2018. this move led to the creation of a full-fledged esg practice that now supports clients in areas ranging from greenhouse gas (ghg) reporting to impact assessments and fractional chief sustainability officer services. 

more move

harrity explains that b corp certification is a rigorous third-party process that measures a company’s environmental and social performance, governance, and accountability. for accounting firms like sensiba, it not only served as a differentiator but also proved to be a powerful talent magnet. students and experienced professionals increasingly seek out values-aligned workplaces, and the b corp logo on a recruiting booth helped sensiba stand out, even against big four competitors. she emphasizes that the certification aligns naturally with many of the profession’s existing values, such as a commitment to employee well-being and community engagement.

but the firm’s real differentiator?

“we’re not an ai firm,” tait explains. “we’re a service firm that leverages technology to deliver a better client experience.”
