Welcome to the Accounting Influencers Podcast, going live every Monday to 150 countries and 30,000 accounting practitioners, fintech specialists and influencers in the accountancy, CPA and bookkeeping space.In the Accounting Influencers Podcast episode, Rob Brown interviews Will Farnell, author of the new book, "The Human Firm." The book focuses on how accounting firms can evolve beyond the digital firm into what Farnell calls the human firm. Farnell talks about his frustration with the lack of adoption by accounting firms of the opportunities provided by technology and the risk of becoming complacent and falling behind. He stresses the importance of horizon scanning and continuing to innovate.Farnell sees the human firm as the next competitive advantage for accounting firms as technology becomes more widely available. The human element, such as empathy and emotional intelligence, cannot be automated and can provide a unique competitive advantage. Farnell discusses how accounting firms can create a compelling differentiator through their people by having the right culture, brand, and niche and by recruiting the best people.You can also watch this episode on Youtube - https://youtu.be/cW6u7l7Tkhw◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢If you like the show, we'd truly appreciate a review on whatever platform you listen.

It's the "UK Matters in Accounting" show, usually going out every Friday to 150 countries and 30,000 accounting practitioners, fintech specialists and influencers in the accountancy, CPA and bookkeeping space. However, in Jan 2023 we are phasing out this show and putting out this content on our sister Success in Accounting Show which hopefully you're already subscribed to.In today's episode 28, "The Full Impact of Chat GPT and AI in Accounting"Here is the transcript for this show, generated by Chat GPT with some smart AI prompting questions:Hello, and welcome to the podcast. In this episode, we will be discussing the impact of Chat GPT, or Generative Pre-training Transformer, on the world of accountants and CPAs.First, let's define Chat GPT. It's a machine learning model developed by OpenAI that is able to generate human-like text and can be used to assist accountants and CPAs in a variety of tasks.But how did Chat GPT come about, and why is it making waves in so many industries? Chat GPT was developed by OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research lab, as a way to improve natural language processing. It builds upon the concept of pre-training, which involves training a model on a large dataset to recognize patterns and relationships in language. By pre-training a model on a massive amount of text data, it can then be fine-tuned for specific tasks, such as translation or language generation.The development of Chat GPT marked a significant step forward in the field of natural language processing and has led to its widespread adoption in a variety of industries.Now, let's dive into how Chat GPT can help accountants and CPAs.One way it can assist is by generating reports and documents. Imagine having to create a financial report for a client. This can be a time-consuming and tedious task, but with Chat GPT, you can simply input the necessary data and let the model do the rest. It will generate a professional, accurate report in a fraction of the time it would take a human.Another way Chat GPT can be useful is by providing data analysis. It can be trained to analyze financial data and provide insights and recommendations based on that analysis. This can be especially helpful for accountants and CPAs who are looking to make informed decisions for their clients.Chat GPT can also be used to automate routine tasks, such as data entry and reconciliation. This can free up time for accountants and CPAs to focus on more complex tasks, improving efficiency and productivity.Finally, Chat GPT can even be used to provide customer service. It can handle basic customer inquiries and provide information to clients, allowing accountants and CPAs to focus on more complex tasks.So, as you can see, Chat GPT has the potential to significantly streamline processes and improve efficiency for accountants and CPAs. But what about the potential drawbacks? Some disadvantages of using Chat GPT include the initial setup and training, which can be time-consuming and costly. Additionally, Chat GPT is still limited in its capabilities and may not be able to handle more complex tasks. Finally, using Chat GPT may create a reliance on technology, and if there are issues with the system, it could disrupt work and cause delays.Now, let's take a look at some statistics to give you an idea of the potential impact Chat GPT could have on your practice and your clients: According to a recent survey, over 70% of accountants andCPAs believe that machine learning will significantly change the way they do business in the next 5 years.Another study found that the use of artificial intelligence in accounting could save up to 400 million hours of manual data entry per year. One company that implemented Chat GPT saw a 25% increase in productivity and a 10% reduction in errors.These statistics show that Chat GPT has the potential to significantly impact the

On behalf of the Accounting Influencers Broadcast Network, this is the "Best Practice in Accounting" show, going live every Thursday.Episode 14. In today's interview, "Personal Net Worth, the Accountant's Secret Weapon."Key takeaways from this episode include: ☑ what a good accountant does when talking to a client and what a great accountant does better ☑ how a personal net worth position helps the clients of accountants and CPAs ☑ why the individual's goals matter as much as the company's goals for the clients of accounting firms ☑ where the 'personal net worth' conversation can lead a good accountant with additional services and recommendations ☑ how the 'compliance mindset' of many accountants closes down higher level conversations with their clients ☑ why the best accountants recognise they need to have the questions more than the answer to serve clients ☑ the 'phrase that pays' for accountants and CPAs to position the personal net worth conversation with clientsAction - focus on the personal as well as the business side of accounting clients to (1) serve them more diligently and (2) create more advisory opportunities. In this show we cover topics like leadership, trust, performance, differentiation, employer brand, values, vision, strategy, talent, skills development, industry trends, growth, marketing, communication, succession, recruitment, retention, culture, M&amp;A, business models, pricing, digitisation, winning clients, advisory, career development, gen z/millennials, ESG, DEI, CSR, CPE/CPD, professionalism and future proofing.It's important that you stay ahead of the game by knowing the drivers of change and disruption in accounting, the behaviours/demands of businesses requiring pivots/services from accountants, the strategies of tech/software vendors in serving CPAs and accountants, the directives, thoughts and influence of regulatory bodies, professional associations and accounting institutes, and the themes, agendas and topics being talked about at accounting and fintech events all over the world. Two caveats for listeners:First, what we're giving you in this podcast are suggestions, hints, tips and strategies. Not necessarily recommendations, not legally binding, not mandated by regulatory bodies. just the thoughts, opinions and interpretations of a couple of guys with a collective 45 years of experience working with, speaking to and and training many accounting practices, vendors, networks, associations, alliances and event audiences. Second, we're not getting too technical or technological with these best practice tips. We're not qualified accountants and there are plenty of sources for technical knowledge. We're also not geeky, nerdy or product focused with the bewildering array of apps, platforms and technological solutions. We're more soft skills, personal development, general business awareness, developing entrepreneurial thinking, boosting leadership and management capability.Let's not forget what a complex, fast moving and rapidly changing world we live in. Best practice is hard to put your finger on. What worked last week, last year may not work now. Advisors and accounting professionals must constantly reinvent themselves as experts and trusted guides to individuals and business owners in a complex world. We're here to help you.Ultimately, it's just insight though. Knowledge is easy to find but not to easy to make sense of and make part of your offering, your authority, your expertise. You've got to take some action, share it with others, use it somehow for it to become powerful. Weave it into your thinking, your client interactions, your team meetings, your everyday conversations. That's what's going to move you from good to great in your accounting role.◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢A reminder of 5 great shows in the Accounting Influencers Broadcast...

On behalf of the Accounting Influencers Podcast Network, this is the "Best Practice in Accounting" show, going live every Thursday. For our regular listeners, the original name Accounting Influencers has now moved from 'one show with 6 episodes a week' to 'five shows a week, 1 episode a day'. In this show, we focus on upskilling the accountants, bookkeepers, CPAs and commercially focused fintech vendors to better handle key challenges in their professional role like client service, closing deals, negotiating, pricing, hiring, reputation and differentiation. It's all about developing yourself and your practice with real life examples, stories and case studies of what really works.Episode 13. In today's interview, "Best Practice for the Accounting Annual Review."Key takeaways from this episode include: why many accounting firms don't really offer all the things their website says they do the difference between annual reviews and year end tax meetings for accountants what questions a conscientious accountant should be asking a client as part of an annual review the marketing and business development benefits for accountants of doing annual reviews what's wrong with the excuse from accountants "I don't have time to do annual reviews for clients" what is lacking from some accountants in so-called annual client reviews what some accountants miss in serving clients by not doing the simple and basic things very well two questions an accountant or CPA can ask their clients to turn a good annual review a great one good responses to annual review questions that can create more opportunities for accountants to serve their clientsAction - Do annual reviews for your clients. If you already do them, do them better by incorporating some of the approaches and questions in this episode.In this show we cover topics like leadership, trust, performance, differentiation, employer brand, values, vision, strategy, talent, skills development, industry trends, growth, marketing, communication, succession, recruitment, retention, culture, M&amp;A, business models, pricing, digitisation, winning clients, advisory, career development, gen z/millennials, ESG, DEI, CSR, CPE/CPD, professionalism and future proofing.It's important that you stay ahead of the game by knowing the drivers of change and disruption in accounting, the behaviours/demands of businesses requiring pivots/services from accountants, the strategies of tech/software vendors in serving CPAs and accountants, the directives, thoughts and influence of regulatory bodies, professional associations and accounting institutes, and the themes, agendas and topics being talked about at accounting and fintech events all over the world.Two caveats for listeners:First, what we're giving you in this podcast are suggestions, hints, tips and strategies. Not necessarily recommendations, not legally binding, not mandated by regulatory bodies. just the thoughts, opinions and interpretations of a couple of guys with a collective 45 years of experience working with, speaking to and and training many accounting practices, vendors, networks, associations, alliances and event audiences.Second, we're not getting too technical or technological with these best practice tips. We're not qualified accountants and there are plenty of sources for technical knowledge. We're also not geeky, nerdy or product focused with the bewildering array of apps, platforms and technological solutions. We're more soft skills, personal development, general business awareness, developing entrepreneurial thinking, boosting leadership and management capability.Let's not forget what a complex, fast moving and rapidly changing world we live in. Best practice is hard to put your finger on. What worked last week, last year may not work now. Advisors and accounting professionals must constantly reinvent...

On behalf of the Accounting Influencers Broadcast Network, this is the "Best Practice in Accounting" show, going live every Thursday. In this show, we focus on upskilling the accountants, bookkeepers, CPAs and commercially focused fintech vendors to better handle key challenges in their professional role like client service, closing deals, negotiating, pricing, hiring, reputation and differentiation. It's all about developing yourself and your practice with real life examples, stories and case studies of what really works.Episode 12. In today's interview, "Why Likeability Helps Accountants to Help Clients"Discover the importance of likeability in building trust and credibility in your accounting role. The margins for accountants to differentiate from their competition are very small. Whether people actually like you can become a significant factor in whether they hire you, promote you and recommend you. You'll hear 3 specific suggestions that increase likeability to enhance your performance.Action - Listen to the three suggestions made in this episode and pick just one in your accounting or fintech role to intentionally focus on to be a bit more likeable.In this show we cover topics like leadership, trust, performance, differentiation, employer brand, values, vision, strategy, talent, skills development, industry trends, growth, marketing, communication, succession, recruitment, retention, culture, M&amp;A, business models, pricing, digitisation, winning clients, advisory, career development, gen z/millennials, ESG, DEI, CSR, CPE/CPD, professionalism and future proofing.It's important that you stay ahead of the game by knowing the drivers of change and disruption in accounting, the behaviours/demands of businesses requiring pivots/services from accountants, the strategies of tech/software vendors in serving CPAs and accountants, the directives, thoughts and influence of regulatory bodies, professional associations and accounting institutes, and the themes, agendas and topics being talked about at accounting and fintech events all over the world.Two caveats for listeners:First, what we're giving you in this podcast are suggestions, hints, tips and strategies. Not necessarily recommendations, not legally binding, not mandated by regulatory bodies. just the thoughts, opinions and interpretations of a couple of guys with a collective 45 years of experience working with, speaking to and and training many accounting practices, vendors, networks, associations, alliances and event audiences.Second, we're not getting too technical or technological with these best practice tips. We're not qualified accountants and there are plenty of sources for technical knowledge. We're also not geeky, nerdy or product focused with the bewildering array of apps, platforms and technological solutions. We're more soft skills, personal development, general business awareness, developing entrepreneurial thinking, boosting leadership and management capability.Let's not forget what a complex, fast moving and rapidly changing world we live in. Best practice is hard to put your finger on. What worked last week, last year may not work now. Advisors and accounting professionals must constantly reinvent themselves as experts and trusted guides to individuals and business owners in a complex world. We're here to help you.Ultimately, it's just insight though. Knowledge is easy to find but not to easy to make sense of and make part of your offering, your authority, your expertise. You've got to take some action, share it with others, use it somehow for it to become powerful. Weave it into your thinking, your client interactions, your team meetings, your everyday conversations. That's what's going to move you from good to great in your accounting role.◣━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◢A reminder of 5 great shows in the Accounting Influencers Broadcast Network:❶ Success in...

Key takeaways from this episode include: how the pandemic has changed the way accountants and bookkeepers operate in the cloud how covid has accelerated changes that were already starting to happen AND brought new changes for accountants and bookkeepers the world of difference between true cloud accounting and accountants/bookkeepers who think they are in the cloud why client models and work practices sometimes stop accountants and bookkeepers taking them into the cloud defining exactly what 'cloud' means and why many accountants, bookkeepers and business people see it differently unpacking security issues for accountants and bookkeepers who use them as excuses not to move into cloud accounting the two types of people when it comes to working in the cloud, and why neither are ideal the role of a security audit for accountants and bookkeepers plus their clients who are considering cloud accounting the power of 'already making money' that stops many accountants and bookkeepers from changing what they do the difficulties for accountants and bookkeepers in setting KPIs around moving to the cloud the demand for change and shift to cloud that is coming from the clients of accountants and bookkeepers the single biggest reason accounting and bookkeeping firms should be cloud based what business owners and clients who want to switch accountants and bookkeepers are really looking for why accountants and bookkeepers will lose out on winning new business from a younger and younger client base if they are not cloud focused how cloud focused accountants and bookkeepers sit right in the middle of their clients' businesses and can therefore be much more useful admitting how bad cloud based software was back in the early days and how much better it is now for accountants and bookkeepers the role of culture and leadership in pushing a firm of accountants and bookkeepers to adopt cloud what the future looks like for accountants and bookkeepers in the area of cloud accounting words of encouragement for accountants and bookkeepers who want to drive change in the area of cloud accountingKellie and her husband Jeff, a Fly Fishing Guide have 3 grown kids and live with 2 unruly Australian Shepherds in a 100-year-old lakeside cabin (that is chronically under renovation).

On behalf of the Accounting Influencers Broadcast Network, this is the "Best Practice in Accounting" show, going live every Thursday. For our regular listeners, the original name Accounting Influencers has now moved from 'one show with 6 episodes a week' to 'five shows a week, 1 episode a day'. In this show, we focus on upskilling the accountants, bookkeepers, CPAs and commercially focused fintech vendors to better handle key challenges in their professional role like client service, closing deals, negotiating, pricing, hiring, reputation and differentiation. It's all about developing yourself and your practice with real life examples, stories and case studies of what really works.Episode 1. In today's interview, "What Best Practice Looks Like in Accounting Firms."Key takeaways from this episode include:❊ a preview of what's coming up on this show in coming weeks and months❊ the need for real life examples of what really works for accountants in practice rather than just hype❊ changing DEI to DEIA - diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility❊ why best practice is becoming harder and harder to define for accountants in this complex world❊ the importance of drawing from genuine experts all over the world beyond Bissett and BrownAction - knowledge is cheap, so take these bite-size gems and apply them quickly to your particular situation.In this show we cover topics like leadership, trust, performance, differentiation, employer brand, values, vision, strategy, talent, skills development, industry trends, growth, marketing, communication, succession, recruitment, retention, culture, M&amp;A, business models, pricing, digitisation, winning clients, advisory, career development, gen z/millennials, ESG, DEI, CSR, CPE/CPD, professionalism and future proofing.It's important that you stay ahead of the game by knowing the drivers of change and disruption in accounting, the behaviours/demands of businesses requiring pivots/services from accountants, the strategies of tech/software vendors in serving CPAs and accountants, the directives, thoughts and influence of regulatory bodies, professional associations and accounting institutes, and the themes, agendas and topics being talked about at accounting and fintech events all over the world.Two caveats for listeners:First, what we're giving you in this podcast are suggestions, hints, tips and strategies. Not necessarily recommendations, not legally binding, not mandated by regulatory bodies. just the thoughts, opinions and interpretations of a couple of guys with a collective 45 years of experience working with, speaking to and and training many accounting practices, vendors, networks, associations, alliances and event audiences.Second, we're not getting too technical or technological with these best practice tips. We're not qualified accountants and there are plenty of sources for technical knowledge. We're also not geeky, nerdy or product focused with the bewildering array of apps, platforms and technological solutions. We're more soft skills, personal development, general business awareness, developing entrepreneurial thinking, boosting leadership and management capability.Let's not forget what a complex, fast moving and rapidly changing world we live in. Best practice is hard to put your finger on. What worked last week, last year may not work now. Advisors and accounting professionals must constantly reinvent themselves as experts and trusted guides to individuals and business owners in a complex world. We're here to help you.Ultimately, it's just insight though. Knowledge is easy to find but not to easy to make sense of and make part of your offering, your authority, your expertise. You've got to take some action, share it with others, use it somehow for it to become powerful. Weave it into your thinking, your client interactions, your team meetings, your everyday...
