Connections create career opportunities, resilience, and leadership growth.

Megan Robinson: Leadership Isn't a Promotion; It's a Skill Firms Need to Build | MOVE Like This
“We’re expecting engagement without creating an environment people actually want to engage in.”MOVE Like ThisWith Bonnie Buol RuszczykFor CPA Trendlines ResearchIn this episode of MOVE Like This, Megan Robinson, founder and CEO of E Leader Experience, joins Bonnie Buol Ruszczyk to talk about one of the most common and costly mistakes firms make: assuming strong performers will naturally become strong leaders. MORE MOVE Like This | MORE CPA Trendlines Streaming Network At the center of the conversation is a clear distinction. Technical excellence and leadership effectiveness are not the same skill set. Yet in many firms, top producers are promoted into management roles without the training or support needed to succeed. The result is frustration on both sides: leaders who feel unprepared and teams that don’t feel supported.

The Real Problem with AI in Accounting | ARC
Technology is advancing faster than the profession’s ability to rethink its workflows.Accounting ARCWith Donny ShimamotoCenter for Accounting TransformationIn a profession often defined by structure, standards, and well-worn career paths, Donny Shimamoto, CPA.CITP, CGMA, opens a different kind of conversation in a recent Accounting ARC episode—one that challenges assumptions about what it means to build a career in accounting.His guest, Danielle Supkis Cheek, embodies that challenge.As senior vice president of AI, analytics and assurance at CaseWare, Supkis Cheek operates at the intersection of technology, methodology, and human judgment. But her path there was anything but linear—and that, Shimamoto suggests, is exactly the point.

Robert Gauvreau: Why This CPA Firm Founder Refuses Equity Partners | Big 4 Transparency
Scaling an eight-figure accounting, tax, law and advisory firm by breaking all the rules.Full show notes hereBig 4 TransparencyWith Dominic Piscopo, CPARobert Gauvreau, FCPA, founder and CEO of Gauvreau Accounting, Tax Law and Advisory, joins Dominic Piscopo on the Big Four Transparency show to explain how he’s scaling an Ontario-based firm from a non-obvious location—Peterborough, not Toronto—into a $20 million operation built around fast decision-making, aggressive reinvestment in talent, and a deliberately non-traditional partnership structure.MORE Dominic Piscopo | MORE CPA Trendlines Streaming NetworkGauvreau says he made a strategic decision from day one to never take on equity partners, arguing that the traditional partnership model is “broken” because conservative consensus-driven decision-making too often blocks growth. Instead, he built a structure of high-compensated “partners” who share in wins without taking on debt, working-capital risk, or ownership downside—while enabling the firm to move quickly without governance gridlock. He framed the tradeoff clearly: partners get stability and upside participation, while the founder retains the long-term exit value.READ MORE >>>

Transformation in audit can help predict clients’ futures.Full show notes hereThe DisruptersWith Liz FarrFor CPA TrendlinesAudit has a reputation for being slow to change, but leaders like Sarah Flischel, Director of Audit Transformation and Training at AAFCPAs, are making it happen.“We’re fundamentally reimagining how audits are being conducted,” Flischel says. She’s pushing not merely for change in the profession, but true transformation, drawing on wisdom from Tom Hood to distinguish change and transformation: “Change is doing things differently, and transformation is doing different things,” she explains.MORE DISRUPTORS: Candy Bellau: The $350 Pricing Mistake that Nearly Broke this Boutique Firm | The Disruptors | Poe: What P.E.

Traditional audits have been linear: gathering documents, testing samples, filling out checklists, and writing reports.
