OVERVIEW

Accounting Influencers is the world’s leading accounting, CPA and fintech podcast where hosts Martin Bissett and Rob Brown bring you critical insights, best practice, expert interviews, market intelligence and occasional rants on the accounting and fintech world in short, sharp listens on a daily basis.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Its audience is accountants and CPAs, together with the networks, associations, vendors and influencers who lead them, work in them and serve them. With the backing of several trusted commercial partners, the show comes out daily with engaging ‘radio show’ style news items, insights on ‘what really works’ and the occasional rant. Twice a week there are featured interviews with accounting profession influencers, disrupters and thought leaders who advise, train, serve and speak into the accounting/fintech profession. Some are experts (commentators, authors, consultants). Others are in business (suppliers, vendors and partners to accounting firms). Topics include leadership, value, winning work, culture, talent, sales, trust, growth, tech, digital, cloud, change, marketing, trends, performance and strategy.
