cpe today

when major tax reform is introduced, it’s easy to assume the process is straightforward: the house writes a bill, the senate reviews it, and congress either passes or blocks it.

pricing, fees & billing rates

why you have to define your customer first

there are six steps to value pricing, but don’t skip ahead.

by jody padar
radical pricing – by the radical cpa

can you remember doing business before cell phones or social media? you really don’t have to be too old to remember because change happens fast. in fact, if you are over 50, you probably remember when every home had a landline, firms advertised in the yellow pages, and accountants charged hourly for mundane compliance tasks.

it really wasn’t that long ago when the internet was intriguing rather than indispensable.

at some point, change becomes inevitable, and i would argue that value pricing has reached this critical stage.

in a move that has shocked the global entertainment industry, president trump proposed a 100 percent tariff on all foreign-made films entering the u.s. market. the declaration via truth social framed the policy as a patriotic push to “make movies in america again,” citing national security concerns and the erosion of domestic film production.

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.

two reasons that selling scares us

two women shaking hands across a table

the good news: with practice, you can get better.

by martin bissett
business development on a budget

if winning new clients is simply a matter of being yourself, why is selling so difficult for accountants? well, it’s a combination of several factors, but there are two main reasons.

first, accountants have not traditionally been required to sell. maybe your practice has grown by referral – business has come to you and you haven’t had to do much to win that business. unfortunately, however, business doesn’t always walk through the door; you don’t know how often it will, or what caliber it will be when it does.

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.”

the concierge cpa
with jackie meyer
for 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间

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.”

be flexible about your audit team

four businesswoman having a meeting around a table

not everyone needs an accounting degree.

by alan anderson, cpa
transforming audit for the future

firms these days are throwing technology at audit and calling it innovation. but if you try to roll out too much at one time, that’s a disaster. your people won’t have any time to talk to the client and figure out what’s going on in the business if they’re too busy trying to figure out how all the pieces of technology all work together.

a better approach is to prioritize the technology rollouts and cut those in half. focus on the two or three that are the most important. if you try to do too much, your implementation will fail. a partial implementation won’t get you anywhere. partial implementations tend to result in complicated workarounds, so the new tech not only doesn’t save time or effort, but it actually makes it harder to get the work done.
