Podcasts about Karbon

This week, I'm tackling a question I get asked more than almost any other. Which social media platform should you actually be on? And what on earth should you post once you're there? I break down: Why a podcast feels lonely while social media doesn't, and what that taught me about marketing The reason it now takes 7 or 8 touch points before someone trusts you enough to get in touch Why "when you confuse, you lose" should shape every post you write The one platform I'd tell any accountant to start with, and why the algorithm is on your side Why your audience is on LinkedIn even when you're convinced they're not How to create content that gets a booked call, not just likes The contrarian truth about using AI to write your posts, and why I ignore the people who say don't Why video will make you stand out, especially if you're a female accountant How one of my Accelerator members found a warm lead worth £25-30k in fees within a week of posting daily This episode is sponsored by Karbon, the practice management platform we recently moved to after 12 years on our previous system. If you've ever stared at a blank screen wondering what to post or where, this episode is for you.

Connection, community, and trust create opportunities that credentials alone cannot.  Accounting ARCWith Liz Mason and Byron PatrickCenter for Accounting TransformationIn the accounting profession, technical excellence is expected.

This week, I'm diving into one of the biggest bottlenecks inside accounting firms. Pricing. More specifically, why most accountants are still pricing from gut feel, comparing themselves to firms that also don't know how to price properly, and unknowingly leaving huge amounts of value on the table. I break down: • Why charging by the hour makes less sense than ever in the AI era • Why your real value is not the tax return or accounts • The hidden value accountants forget to charge for • Why access to you is the most valuable thing clients buy • How pricing systems remove you as the bottleneck • The variables that should drive pricing • Why clients should pay upfront and monthly • How to stop “making up fees” on the fly • The psychology behind premium pricing and client choice • How AI and agents are changing the future of accounting firms I also share behind-the-scenes updates on building Power Pricing, how AI is helping me build faster than traditional development ever could, and why systems are becoming essential for firms that want more time, better clients, and higher profits.

And why that's not always a bad thing.Full show notes hereGear Up for GrowthWith Jean Caragher“Success doesn't have to look like going up and to the right,” says Ian Vacin, co-founder and director of partnership relationships at Karbon, in this episode of Gear Up for Growth, hosted by Jean Caragher, president of Capstone Marketing. “You have to understand what you want as a firm owner, align your revenue with your resources, and build the scaffolding to support that complexity. Otherwise, profitability falls, and you may not recover.”Vacin, along with Jason Blumer, founder and CEO of Thriveal and Blumer & Associates CPAs, wrote the new book, Scale with Purpose: The Service Entrepreneur's Guide to Intentional Growth. Drawing from research involving hundreds of firms worldwide, Blumer and Vacin reveal that only about 5% of firms successfully navigate their first major growth phase without setbacks. The authors say that organizational design must precede capacity planning. Without thoughtful structure, firms hit predictable scaling plateaus, particularly between 8 and 20 employees.READ MORE > > >

In this episode, I go from talking about loneliness as a firm owner… to where AI is rapidly taking the accounting profession. I share my thoughts on: • Why most accountants still feel stuck despite working harder than ever• How joining the right community changes your standards and beliefs• Why human relationships still matter in an AI world• The real reason some firms grow fast whilst others stay trapped in the weeds• How I used Claude AI to prepare accounts, working papers, and financial statements• Why the pace of AI change is much faster than most people realise• What firm owners should actually focus on over the next few years I also talk about buying back your time, building a business that gives you more freedom, and why the future belongs to accountants who learn to combine technology with strong business skills. This one is part mindset, part strategy, and part glimpse into what's coming next for the profession. This episode is sponsored by Karbon, the practice management platform we recently moved to after 12 years on our previous system.

In deze speciale aflevering van Het Perspectief zitten we niet aan tafel met één gast, maar met twee jongeren van vzw Klub Karbon (onderdeel van Arktos): Maxime, een 16-jarige rapper die alles op rappen heeft gezet zonder plan B, en Atahan (19), die werkt aan zijn eigen podcastformat onder de werktitel 'vanuit een zolder'. We praten over ambitie, sociale media, authenticiteit en wat het werkelijk betekent om de extra mile te lopen. Geen advies-spotje, geen succescoaching. Wel een eerlijk gesprek tussen twee generaties. Een aflevering voor wie zelf met content, podcasting of een eigen project bezig is. Met dank aan Leandro en de werking van vzw Arktos / Klub Karbon.

Jason Ackerman, Co-Managing Partner at BNA Advisors, helped grow the firm from a $1.5 million firm to over $7 million organically, without acquiring a single practice. He joined his father's firm in 2012, scaled the team from 14 to 35 people, and built systems that allow the firm to handle more than 2,000 individual tax returns per year. His approach combines practical technology adoption, intentional pricing strategy, and a long view on people and talent.This is the fifth episode in our Power of Focus series and Jason's story is a strong example of what is possible when a firm stops trying to do everything and starts doing the right things well. This episode digs into the specific tools and tactics Jason's team is using right now, during tax season. His firm is rolling out 8821 authorizations for every client so they can pull IRS transcripts through Tax Now, catching payment discrepancies and missed filings before they become problems. They are also using a payment platform called Remission to schedule quarterly estimated payments for clients in one place. They're reducing the back-and-forth and keeping the firm proactive rather than reactive. Both moves are part of a broader philosophy: reduce what the client has to do, increase what the firm can see.The through line of this conversation is intentionality. Jason is not automating things for the sake of automation, he's not chasing every new AI platform, and he's not pricing low to win volume. Every decision connects back to a clear standard: does this make the practice better, or does it just add noise? That kind of focus, applied consistently over more than a decade, is how a $1.5 million firm becomes a $7 million firm without a single acquisition.This episode is for CPA firm owners curious about building scalable systems without outside capital, practitioners ready to revisit their pricing strategy before the next season, firm managers wondering how to develop staff into more business-aware team members, and accounting practice owners thinking ahead about talent and technology in a changing industry.Timestamps00:36 - Jason Ackerman introduces BNA Advisors: $7M firm, organic growth, and co-founding a software startup01:08 - Growing a CPA firm from $1.5M to $7M without acquisitions since 201202:21 - Series context: practice management tactics for tax season 202603:23 - Why tax compliance still requires real expertise despite the shift toward advisory05:07 - The 8821 strategy: pulling IRS transcripts proactively for every accounting client06:46 - Using Remission to schedule and track quarterly estimated tax payments08:24 - The biggest operational pain points BNA solved as the firm scaled to 35 people09:22 - Why Karbon became a cornerstone of BNA's CPA firm practice management system10:52 - How to approach technology adoption: change one thing at a time12:15 - How Jason evaluates new software as an early adopter in the accounting industry13:22 - A measured take on AI tools: waiting for the market to shake out15:56 - How private equity is reshaping the accounting talent pipeline27:42 - Why value pricing is the single biggest lever for CPA firm owners preparing to sell29:21 - Why pricing high from the start attracts better accounting clients and protects your time30:38 - Book recommendation: discussion of the Karbon co-founder book featuring BNA Download Now: https://poegroupadvisors.com/accounting-practice-academy/increase-letter/Price increases are nothing to fear.

Perubahan keempat atas Undang-Undang Nomor 41 Tahun 1999 tentang Kehutanan menandai era baru dalam tata kelola sumber daya alam Indonesia yang lebih adaptif terhadap dinamika hukum dan mandat konstitusi. Langkah fundamental dalam rancangan undang-undang ini adalah reposisi Hutan Adat yang kini secara tegas diakui sebagai bagian dari Hutan Hak, bukan lagi sekadar Hutan Negara. Perubahan status ini merupakan tindakan korektif yang signifikan untuk menjalankan mandat Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Nomor 35/2012 yang selama ini belum sepenuhnya terimplementasi. Dengan menggeser paradigma dari pengelolaan yang bersifat negara-sentris menuju pengakuan kedaulatan masyarakat hukum adat, RUU ini meletakkan fondasi kuat bagi terwujudnya keadilan agraria dan kepastian hukum bagi masyarakat yang telah menjaga hutan secara turun-temurun. Secara teknis dan ekologis, RUU ini menyinergikan kemajuan teknologi digital dengan agenda mitigasi perubahan iklim global melalui integrasi Nilai Ekonomi Karbon (NEK) ke dalam sistem inventarisasi hutan nasional. Penambahan asas-asas baru seperti ekoregion, kearifan lokal, dan partisipasi publik menunjukkan upaya sistemis untuk menjaga keseimbangan antara pemanfaatan ekonomi dan pemulihan ekosistem. Inovasi kebijakan yang memungkinkan rehabilitasi dilakukan di seluruh kawasan hutan, termasuk perluasan fungsi konservasi pada hutan produksi dan lindung, memberikan ruang bagi konektivitas lanskap yang lebih luas. Namun, integrasi data yang akurat melalui sistem informasi berbasis digital menjadi syarat mutlak agar potensi ekonomi karbon dan keanekaragaman hayati Indonesia dapat divalidasi secara transparan di mata dunia. Terlepas dari berbagai kemajuan tersebut, keberhasilan implementasi undang-undang ini sangat bergantung pada penyelesaian hambatan birokrasi di tingkat daerah, terutama terkait mekanisme penetapan masyarakat adat yang masih bergantung pada Peraturan Daerah. Analisis multidisiplin menunjukkan adanya risiko "bottleneck" hukum jika proses pengakuan hak tidak disederhanakan melalui kebijakan yang lebih progresif dan sinkron dengan kebijakan satu peta nasional. Oleh karena itu, rekomendasi strategis ke depan harus memastikan bahwa transformasi hukum ini diikuti dengan pembagian manfaat yang adil, perlindungan terhadap hak-hak sipil dalam gugatan lingkungan, serta pengawasan ketat terhadap aktivitas rehabilitasi di zona inti. Hanya dengan integrasi antara kepastian hukum, transparansi data, dan keadilan sosial, hutan Indonesia dapat dikelola secara berkelanjutan sebagai paru-paru dunia sekaligus pilar kesejahteraan rakyat.

Mekanisme bursa karbon dan pajak emisi merupakan dua instrumen nilai ekonomi karbon yang dirancang untuk menekan pelepasan gas rumah kaca ke atmosfer dengan cara memberikan harga pada setiap unit emisi yang dihasilkan. Bursa karbon beroperasi melalui sistem cap and trade, di mana pemerintah menetapkan batas atas (cap) emisi bagi sektor tertentu dan menerbitkan izin atau kuota emisi. Di sisi lain, pajak emisi atau pajak karbon adalah pungutan langsung yang dikenakan atas kandungan karbon atau jumlah emisi yang dilepaskan. Kedua instrumen ini bertujuan untuk menginternalisasi biaya kerusakan lingkungan ke dalam biaya produksi, sehingga pelaku usaha terdorong untuk beralih ke teknologi yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Dalam operasional bursa karbon, perusahaan yang berhasil menekan emisinya di bawah batas yang ditentukan akan memiliki kelebihan kuota yang dapat dijual kepada perusahaan lain yang emisinya melampaui batas. Proses perdagangan ini menciptakan harga pasar bagi karbon dan memberikan insentif finansial bagi perusahaan yang lebih efisien dan inovatif dalam penggunaan energi. Sebaliknya, bagi perusahaan yang memiliki emisi tinggi dan tidak melakukan mitigasi, mereka akan menghadapi beban biaya tambahan dengan membeli kredit karbon dari pasar atau dari proyek-proyek penyerapan karbon seperti reboisasi hutan. Hal ini memastikan bahwa secara kolektif, total emisi nasional tetap terjaga dalam batas yang telah ditetapkan. Sementara itu, pajak emisi berfungsi sebagai instrumen pelengkap atau alternatif yang memberikan kepastian harga bagi setiap unit polusi yang dihasilkan. Di Indonesia, sistem ini sering dipadukan menjadi mekanisme cap and tax, di mana pajak dikenakan jika suatu entitas gagal memenuhi kewajiban batas emisinya melalui bursa karbon. Pendapatan yang dihimpun dari pajak karbon ini dapat dialokasikan kembali oleh negara untuk mendanai investasi hijau, pengembangan energi terbarukan, serta program adaptasi perubahan iklim bagi masyarakat yang terdampak. Melalui sinergi antara perdagangan dan perpajakan karbon ini, diharapkan tercipta transisi ekonomi yang berkelanjutan tanpa mengorbankan pertumbuhan industri secara keseluruhan.

Forum iklim tingkat Asia Tenggara digelar di Jakarta. Pemerintah dan pemangku kepentingan regional sepakat mendorong kerja sama konkret dalam transisi energi dan pengembangan pasar karbon ASEAN.

Mary Delaney, CEO of Karbon, opens Episode 250 of The Unique CPA with a powerful story: she tells Randy about a neighbor whose accountant didn't just crunch numbers but delivered life-changing advice that transformed his business into a legacy. That moment crystallizes what technology can unlock for the profession. Rather than something to be feared, it has the potential to grant us the freedom to focus on advisory work that truly matters. Mary explains how automation handles the mundane, potentially flipping the statistic that 80% of small businesses fail by year ten. With the right technology, every small business could access some level of advisory support. But accountants must make a critical shift: to stop thinking like practitioners and start running their firms as businesses. Mary shares her own experience growing a compliance-heavy services company from single-digit margins to 25%, emphasizing the importance of identifying levers, whether that's increasing referrals, automating workflows, or offshoring strategically. Empowered people deliver exceptional client experiences, and it's not people first or clients first, it's both, simultaneously. Get the full show notes and more resources at TheUniqueCPA.com

Show Summary: In this episode of Grow My Accounting Practice, we welcome Ian Vacin, co-founder of Karbon and co-author of the upcoming book Scale with Purpose: The Service Entrepreneur's Guide to Intentional Growth, written with Jason Blumer. Together, they've drawn from over 25 years of experience advising, consulting, and mentoring service firm owners to create a practical roadmap for entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses intentionally—not accidentally. Ian discusses why scaling a service-based business is about far more than just growth in numbers. He shares insights from the book, including how to optimize human capital, plan across different time horizons, and address the biggest challenge that keeps owners up at night: capacity. From understanding when your team is overworked or underutilized to navigating structural adjustments at different growth plateaus, Scale with Purpose offers proven tools and case studies that help owners maximize profitability while building sustainable businesses. Whether you're leading a small team or running a firm with dozens of employees, this conversation will give you a clear framework to scale consciously, manage your team effectively, and unlock the true enterprise value of your company.   Website:scalewithpurpose.info karbonhq.com/practice-excellence/ https://karbonhq.typeform.com/leader-survey   Corporate Partner:Miles Talent Hub - http://www.mileseducation.com Profit First App Version 2.0 is here!  More Education.

You can wave it off, view it as a toy, and say that no one's going to trust that outcome or use it. That may have been the case, but things are changing really quickly. “Lots of smart people are making it better every month, and you have a massive opportunity to improve it with your data and workflow. “Jump into it to control your destiny.
