when most people think about retirement planning, they picture spreadsheets and savings targets. but as dan haylett, author of the retirement you didn’t see coming and host of the humans vs. retirement podcast, explains, the real challenge of retirement is not mathematical—it’s psychological.

“people focus on the numbers because they think that will solve all their challenges,” haylett says. “but retirement is a complex human problem. spreadsheets will not tell us who we are without a business card or what gets us out of bed in the morning.”

accounting will see agentic ai

every year, the 2025 rosenberg map survey asks the industry’s top consultants to share their observations from cpa firms across the country: how do you think the next 12 months will unfold? trends? predictions? other thoughts? also, how would you assess the last 12 months? trends? observations? struggles?

pe groups seek their own solutions.

 the rosenberg survey

from my perspective, private equity investments in both firm acquisitions and technology solutions focused specifically toward accounting automation will be a key driver in firm strategic discussions in the next 12 months.

as i consult from a technology perspective, i believe we will see significant advances in the use of agentic artificial intelligence solutions being integrated into accounting production processes. agentic solutions work autonomously to complete tasks and can analyze options and redirect themselves, minimizing human interaction until needed.

revenue multiples vs. ebitda multiples

plus how to factor in rias.

by rory henry
the holistic guide to wealth management

why are accounting firms measured in revenue multiples while most other businesses are measured in ebitda multiples?

according to allan koltin, accounting industry transaction guru, there is no better reason than because that’s how we’ve always done it in the accounting profession.

“accounting firms have zero ebitda; they clear out the register every year,” noted koltin. “when i talk to firms about private equity, i have to walk them back and explain how you’re going to create your own ebitda. and the biggest piece of it is what we call the ‘scrape of partner compensation.’ you’re making $1.2 million. can you live on $800,000 if we move that extra $400,000 into an ebitda category and put a multiple of 7x to 11x on that and get capital gain?” asked koltin.

“partners 55 and older love it. partners who are 35 are not so sure.”

accounting influencers
with rob brown

in today’s crowded attention economy, time is the rarest currency. every minute you spend consuming content needs to work for you. that’s why accounting leaders are turning to podcasts—not as entertainment, but as a professional advantage.

in this episode of accounting influencers, host rob brown explores how podcasting is evolving and what that means for accountants and firm leaders who want to stay sharp, visible, and ahead of the curve.

the podcast industry is booming—worth an estimated $47 billion globally and projected to triple in the next few years. but as brown explains, this growth isn’t about quantity; it’s about quality.

“the best podcasts,” he says, “cut through the noise. they know who they’re for, and they deliver the goods.”

listeners today average seven podcasts in rotation, but loyalty is increasingly tied to the relevance of the content. the most trusted shows focus on niche audiences and deliver actionable value. read more →
