They bought an office in lockdown when nobody else was buying. Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos. Get up to $3 million in coverage in as little as 10 minutes at https://ethos.com/founded. Application times may vary. Rates may vary. Two mates met on a rugby pitch, became accountant and client, then bought an office building in the middle of lockdown, when no one else was buying. In this episode, Ollie speaks to Rhys Jones (The Online Accountant) and Olly Ladbrooke (Moose Studios), business partners behind the Bristol Office Hub, about going from corporate life to running multiple businesses side by side. They get honest about the mindset shift from employee to serial entrepreneur, the brutal moment a down-valuation left them scraping to fund a leaking roof, why complementary skills beat codified roles, and how community and referrals (not contrived networking) quietly built everything. Plus, we explore AI in accountancy and marketing, and why "just show up and take action" still wins. Whether you're a solo founder feeling the isolation or weighing up a big risk, this one's for you. LISTENER TAKEAWAYS 1. Resilience isn't a trait; it's a position. Their first building ran "like a dream", which is exactly what gave them the confidence and cushion to survive a brutal down-valuation on the second. 2. Cash buys you calm. Build six to twelve months of runway in the first two years, keep it lean, and you stop pouring energy into chasing bills instead of growing. 3. Action beats overthinking. No scaremongering about AI, these business partners just show up, make the call, and move forward. 90% of success is being there and taking the next step. GUESTS Rhys Jones, accountant and co-founder of The Online Accountant and The Property Accountant. Left corporate life to go solo, took on Olly as client number one, now runs a six-person practice. Olly Ladbrooke, chartered surveyor (ex-BNP Paribas) and founder of Moose Studios, a marketing agency with offices in Bristol and London. Together they own and run the Bristol Office Hub.

Hosted by Lauren Roberts, today's podcast welcomes Sally Holland, partner at PPS Chartered Accountancy as she discusses all things accountancy and PR.Sally joins Lauren to share with PR Not BS listeners the ins and outs of running an accountancy firm in their town of Swindon, Wiltshire. Plus, she dispels the myths and fables around what people think accountants to and shares the reality.“People often think it's this grey-haired old man telling them what to do with their business. It's not that!” says Sally.Lauren kicks off her chat with Sally by diving into her journey to becoming a partner at PPS and what it means to have worked for an organisation for 25 years.Sally shares with Lauren how her business has changed in the last 25 years and how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the accountancy firm. She discusses the integration of hybrid working and their unique business-focused mindset. She also discusses how working with owner-managed businesses means creating important and personable connections with clients.“Often owner-managed businesses work alone,” she says. “[By visiting businesses] it gives them someone to bounce ideas off of.”Community is at the heart of everything PPS does, Sally discusses how supporting local charities is essential to their ethos and shares the ins and outs of their tri-annual ‘PPS Charity Breakfasts' which highlights networking, speakers and a local charity which deserves a spotlight.When it comes to networking, Sally is a professional! Being the president of the BNI White Horse, she has been facilitating networking and business connections in her local area for years. Sally speaks candidly about the nerve-wrecking experience of starting networking and her journey to becoming president of a networking event.As many business owners know, particularly women, the work-life balance between family and work can be challenging. Lauren and Sally speak about motherhood and how Sally approaches this and how she balances work, parenthood, and her own wellbeing.Sally talks about her involvement in the world of PR, and how she honestly doesn't know much about it. She shares how through PR professional support, she's been able to take steps she wouldn't have known to take and are hopefully taking leaps in the right direction to sharing PPS with more people. Sally discusses what the future holds for her and PPS Chartered Accountancy and reaching more clients across the South West and the UK. She also shares that their next charity breakfast is coming up this June 2026.As Sally dispels the rumours around accountancy, listeners can expect to hear the reality of being an accountant, not the BS!Tune in now to hear all the details.To contact Sally at PPS Chartered Accountants, visit their website: https://www.ppsacc.co.uk/To get in touch with Fiona and the Scott Media team, visit www.scottmedia.ukJoin our free Facebook group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/prtribe

Thomas Aertgeerts is oprichter van Astro, een snelgroeiendechallenger binnen de accountancywereld die technologie, automatisering en focus inzet om een sector in beweging te zetten. Opvallend genoeg komt Thomas zelf niet uit accountancy, maar uit de juridische wereld. Hij startte zijn carrière als advocaat in Luxemburg en Brussel, gespecialiseerd in fiscaliteit, en kwam later terecht bij KPMG als Head of Legal Innovation. Daar ontdekte hij hoegroot de impact van technologie kon zijn op traditionele dienstensectoren, maar ook hoe moeilijk gevestigde structuren echt veranderen.Samen met zijn broer, een fysicus en autodidactischprogrammeur, besloot hij daarom zelf te bouwen aan een alternatief. Wat begon als een technologiebedrijf dat software ontwikkelde voor accountancy- en advocatenkantoren, evolueerde na enkele jaren naar een veel radicalere visie. Niet de kantoren hadden volgens hen het grootste probleem, maar de ondernemers die onvoldoende geholpen werden door de accountancywereld die vastzat ininefficiëntie, versnippering en verouderde processen.Met Astro bouwt Thomas vandaag aan een geïntegreerdaccountancyplatform dat technologie niet als marketinglaag gebruikt, maar als fundament van de organisatie. Door repetitief werk te automatiseren, wil hij tijd vrijmaken voor wat volgens hem écht telt: advies, snelheid en transparantie voor ondernemers. Die aanpak zorgt ervoor dat jonge medewerkers sneller impact maken, klanten beter ondersteund worden en de organisatie schaalbaar blijft zonder klassieke logge structuren.Thomas kijkt scherp en uitgesproken naar zijn sector.Volgens hem zijn veel accountancykantoren te breed geworden, beloven ze dingen die operationeel onmogelijk zijn en projecteren ondernemers verwachtingen opaccountants die onmogelijk door één persoon kunnen worden ingevuld. Zijn antwoord daarop is focus: een duidelijke doelgroep, een sterke technologischebasis en een organisatie waarin kennis niet in individuen zit, maar in systemen. Met Astro wil hij niet alleen een bedrijf bouwen, maar ook bewijzen dat accountancy fundamenteel anders kan georganiseerd worden.

In "Reducing TCO Through Renewable Natural Gas" Joe Lynch and Scott Brinner, Vice President of RNG Solutions at Nopetro Energy, discuss how fleets can cut emissions while boosting their bottom line. Efficiency meets sustainability. About Scott Brinner Scott Brinner serves as the executive Vice President of RNG Solutions at Nopetro Energy, where he is responsible for developing and executing the division's strategy, business development and expansion. His prior experiences include working as a CPA with Ernst & Young, executive vice president, Corporate Development & Strategic Accounts, at OmniTRAX, and as an investment banker with Wells Fargo and Raymond James, where he advised companies in transportation/logistics and waste/environmental services. Scott has an MBA from the University of Chicago and received both a BS, in Accounting and Finance, as well as a Master's in Accountancy, from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. About Nopetro Energy Founded in 2008, Nopetro Energy is a vertically integrated energy leader focused on the production and distribution of renewable natural gas (RNG) for heavy duty transportation and industrial consumption. The company provides end-to-end energy and transportation management solutions, helping government agencies and companies strengthen fuel independence and create lasting economic value. Nopetro designs, builds, finances and operates both renewable natural gas production plants and fueling stations, allowing fleets to transition to this substantially less expensive, cleaner and domestically produced alternative to diesel. Visit www.nopetroenergy.com to discover how Nopetro is leading the way to a more energy-independent and financially predictable future. Key Takeaways: Reducing TCO Through Renewable Natural Gas In "Reducing TCO Through Renewable Natural Gas" Joe Lynch and Scott Brinner, Vice President of RNG Solutions at Nopetro Energy, discuss how fleets can cut emissions while boosting their bottom line. Efficiency meets sustainability. RNG as a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Driver: Unlike many "green" technologies that require a financial sacrifice, transitioning to Renewable Natural Gas can actually lower the total cost of ownership. While the trucks may have a higher upfront cost (roughly $70k–$90k more), the significantly lower and more stable fuel prices can lead to a payback period of just 2 to 3 years. The "Closed Ecosystem" of RNG: RNG is a vertically integrated solution that captures organic waste from landfills, dairy farms, and wastewater treatment plants. By cleaning these molecules and putting them into the pipeline, Nopetro turns a potential environmental pollutant into a high-performance fuel that can achieve zero or even negative carbon emissions. The Game-Changing Cummins X15N Engine: Historically, the trucking industry lacked an engine with the power and torque required for heavy-duty, 80,000+ lb loads. The new 15-liter natural gas engine from Cummins is a "workhorse" that matches diesel performance, range, and horsepower, removing the primary technical barrier for over-the-road fleets. Fuel Price Stability vs. Diesel Volatility: Because RNG is domestic and tied to stable natural gas indices rather than global oil markets, it protects fleets from "spikes" caused by international conflict. This allows for predictable budgeting and even the potential for long-term, fixed-price fuel contracts—unheard of in the diesel world. Proven Success in Adjacent Sectors: While OTR trucking is in the early stages of adoption, the waste management and transit industries have already proven the model. Nearly 50% of waste refuse trucks and 40% of transit buses in the U.S. now run on natural gas because it is more economical and easier to maintain. Infrastructure and "Behind the Fence" Solutions: Fleet owners don't have to wait for a public station on every corner. Nopetro specializes in building dedicated fueling stations directly at or near truck terminals. This "hub and spoke" approach ensures that dedicated routes have reliable, high-pressure fueling exactly where they need it. Sustainability as a Competitive Edge: Large shippers (the Scope 1 and Scope 3 emission-focused companies) are increasingly looking for "greener" partners. Trucking companies using RNG can offer a cleaner solution at the same or lower price than diesel, often securing longer-term contracts (5–7 years) by providing the carbon-neutral results that customers demand.

System and Organization Controls (SOC) reports are examinations performed by CPAs in accordance with the AICPA's Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements to evaluate the controls over customer data that service organizations such as cloud providers or payroll processors have in place. SOC reports provide independent assurance to the service organization's customers, aka user entities, that those controls are suitably designed and operating effectively. The entrance of technology vendors into the realm of SOC reporting has created some efficiencies, but it also has led to promises of "fast and easy" SOC reports that have raised credibility concerns in the marketplace. In this episode of the Journal of Accountancy podcast, Amy Pawlicki, the AICPA's vice president–Assurance & Advisory Innovation, discusses recent developments affecting SOC engagements. The conversation also highlights what CPAs, service organizations, and report users should watch for to protect trust in SOC reporting. Other resources mentioned in the episode include: A JofA article on ethics risks related to SOC tool providers. The AICPA's SOC landing page. Ethics Staff Insights: Business Arrangements With SOC Tool Providers. What you'll learn from this episode: What SOC reporting is — and why a SOC 2 report is not a certification. How a technology trend is threatening SOC credibility. The ethical risks related to SOC reporting tool vendors. The peer review and the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct requirements for CPAs performing SOC work. Where to find AICPA resources for firms, service organizations, and users.

Clare Campbell, a trailblazing Highlander renowned for her innovation in the weaving and designer clothes industry, is driven by a deep passion for authenticity and identity. Clare's remarkable journey began in 1978, when she was born in Inverness, the Highland capital of Scotland. With two younger brothers, Clare drew inspiration from her mother, who has always been a guiding light in her life. Like many, Clare's family faced heartbreak, losing her brother Paul just before Christmas in 1998 at the age of 19. This profound loss reshaped Clare's outlook on life, instilling in her and her family a renewed appreciation for its fragility and value. In the years that followed, Clare married her childhood sweetheart Allan, became a mother to Paul and Charli, and pursued a career as an accountant. While raising her young family and supporting Highland businesses, Clare's entrepreneurial spirit grew. By late 2015, she discovered her true calling: uniting her love for the Highlands, her creative vision, and her dedication to craftsmanship into a pioneering mission: The pursuit of sustainable excellence with Tartan cloth woven, not on modern machines, but on original century old looms. Clare's journey as an industry leader was clear, despite the challenges she anticipated. Determined to revive the art of storytelling through tartan design, she set out to restore artisan weaving skills and introduce disruptive designer collections to the Highlands. As the founder and owner of Prickly Thistle, and the outlet store called Rebel Row in Inverness, Clare has established a brand synonymous with Scottish heritage, creativity and endurance. And this Brand has been discovered by the likes of Fendi, the historic Italian luxury fashion house with a number of famous names buying into the product including Sam Heughan or Jamie Fraser of Outlander. Clare Campbell's pioneering story in weaving and designer clothing is extraordinary and it is with pleasure that Unique Scotland Podcast brings Clare's incredible story (and lovely Inverness accent) to you wherever you listen.

Younger generations are rethinking retirement — considering more flexibility and well-timed breaks over a traditional model of holding a job until a certain age and then stopping work. Kelley Long, CPA/PFS, joined the Journal of Accountancy podcast to discuss how modern financial planning is changing. She also explains how health savings accounts can support career flexibility and reduce reliance on employer‑sponsored health insurance later in life. Long will explore these topics further in June at AICPA ENGAGE, the profession's biggest conference. She is presenting sessions focused on retirement and on health care financial literacy on June 10 in Las Vegas. What you'll learn from this episode: A preview of Kelley Long's ENGAGE sessions and a related JofA article. The factors that are leading younger generations to approach retirement differently. How "mini‑retirements" can fit into long‑term career and financial planning. How Long's trip to South America crystallized her views on timing and retirement. The role of social connections in cognitive health. Some ways that health savings accounts can support career changes or time off. How potentially being overinsured can affect financial planning.
Chip Summers worked 2,900 hours a year for over 25 years. Every Saturday. Some Sundays. Always behind. Then he made a series of decisions that transformed his firm.He raised prices across the board. He moved on from high-maintenance, low-return clients. He gave up control and let his staff handle work from start to finish. He invested in technology that made everyone more efficient. And in December 2025, for the first time in over 25 years, he was caught up. He had almost nothing to do. It felt weird, but wonderful.Today, Chip's eight-person firm in Orangeburg, South Carolina doesn't work Saturdays anymore. They close every Friday after tax season. During tax season, they're only open half days on Fridays. His staff isn't burnt out. His clients bring organized documents instead of shoe boxes. And he's serving as Vice Chair of the South Carolina Board of Accountancy while running a healthier practice than he ever thought possible.This is the fourth episode in our Power of Focus series, where we explore how CPA firm owners use focus as a strategic advantage. Chip's story shows that transformation doesn't happen overnight, but when you touch every aspect of your practice with intentional changes, the results compound.The conversation covers:How working 2,900 hours a year with no end in sight became the motivation for changeWhy pricing was only part of the transformation, giving up control mattered just as muchThe year they set minimums and lost fewer than five clientsHow technology investments made the team more efficient without increasing hoursWhy closing Fridays after tax season boosted staff morale and reduced turnoverThe decision to exit attestation work and focus entirely on tax planning and consultingHow being upfront about pricing changes led to almost zero pushback from clientsChip's biggest lesson? You can't do it all yourself. Most accountants want to touch everything from start to finish. But when you structure your staff to handle work properly, invest in the right technology, and price your services to match the value you deliver, you create capacity you didn't know was possible. And that capacity changes everything.This episode is for firm owners working too many hours for the revenue they're generating, leaders curious about how to delegate without losing quality, practitioners wondering if it's possible to run a firm without weekend work, and anyone ready to transform multiple aspects of their practice at once.Time Stamps:00:14 - Introduction: Chip Summers, Orangeburg CPA since 199101:34 - Serving as Vice Chair of SC Board of Accountancy02:36 - The CPA firm that said yes to everyone for 45 years03:18 - Why being everything to everybody became impossible04:01 - Working 2,900 hours a year with no end in sight05:32 - Caught up for the first time in 25 years: how it felt06:10 - You can't do it all yourself: restructuring Accounting staff workflows07:17 - Technology investments that made everyone more efficient07:29 - Discussing pricing upfront and what changed08:39 - From shoe boxes to organized Tax clients09:24 - A completely different CPA firm than four years ago10:21 - No more Saturday work for staff10:57 - Raising prices 5-10% every year and losing fewer than five clients12:03 - The biggest change: giving up control13:27 - When staff burn out, thDownload Now: https://poegroupadvisors.com/accounting-practice-academy/increase-letter/Price increases are nothing to fear.

Sarah Ference, CPA, a risk control director at CNA, joins the Journal of Accountancy podcast to discuss recent topics of the JofA's Professional Liability Spotlight column. The conversation covers lessons learned from claims involving bankrupt clients, the importance of strong and consistent documentation, and the particular risks associated with serving high-net-worth or high-profile clients. The episode also highlights the April column on writing effective engagement letters for client advisory services. The articles discussed in the episode: January: "Don't Let a Bankrupt Client Bankrupt You." February: "Tell a Story With Your Documentation." March: "Luxury Liabilities: Serving High-Net-Worth Clients." April: "Tips for Writing CAS Engagement Letters." What you'll learn from this episode: The reasons CPA firms can be drawn into litigation when clients face bankruptcy. How strong client acceptance and continuance practices can help firms identify and manage higher‑risk engagements before problems arise. Why documentation acts as a firm's voice in a professional liability claim — and how gaps or inconsistencies can weaken defense of a claim. Why Ference has been told that "celebrities and CPA firms don't mix." What makes high‑net‑worth and celebrity clients higher risk and why firms should avoid relaxing standard risk management protocols for them. Why for engagement letters related to CAS, Ference said: "The devil is really in the details of that engagement letter."
