Straight from the buzz of XeroCon 2025, we're bringing you an on-the-ground conversation with Xero's Managing Director, Angad Soin. Nine months into the role and fresh off delivering his first XeroCon keynote, Angad reflects on what makes this event more than just a tech showcase, it's the people, the passion, and the unmistakable energy of a community that genuinely cares.In this episode, we dig into the excitement around Xero's return to product innovation. From Syft integration and bank auto-reconciliation to the launch of the Xero Partner Hub, the announcements landed with real impact. But as Angad points out, these weren't just flashy new features, they were thoughtful, strategic responses to long-standing challenges voiced by the accounting and bookkeeping community.What stands out most in our conversation is the uncommon sense of collaboration within this industry. While technically competitors, firms openly exchange ideas, cheer each other on, and work together toward a shared goal: empowering small biz. That spirit of abundance was palpable across the exhibition hall, and in Angad's perspective on leadership and growth.We also take a moment to highlight some standout moments from the conference, including the keynote from Joe Brumby of Bluey, whose reflections on optimism and change struck a chord with many.So whether you were there in person or watching from afar, this episode captures what made XeroCon 2025 feel like more than a conference, it felt like a movement.FOLLOW US ON THE SOCIALSwww.accountingadventures.com.auAccounting Adventures (@accadvpodcast) | InstagramAccounting Adventures | FacebookAccounting Adventures | LinkedInAly & Andrews All Aussie Accounting Adventures (@accadvpodcast) | X Email: podcast@accountingadventures.com.auCHECK US OUTALL IN Advisory | Your squad of award-winning accountants, tax wizards, and business visionaries, perfectly tailored to elevate your biz.

Andrew Geddes – FMRC co-founder, long-time Chair of Greencross Ltd, and renowned industry mentor – joins Peter Towers to cut through the noise on where the profession really stands three years after Chris Jordan's Xerocon warning. We unpack why many firms remain “compliance factories,” and lay out a practical four-step pathway to advisory: ✅ Set clear revenue, profit, and weekly activity targets ✅ Lift margins with pricing, client mix (A/B/C/D), and sales focus ✅ Strengthen cash and controls (stock/WIP, billing, debtor management) ✅ De-risk and build value (leadership, succession, scalability) Real firm examples, candid insights on outsourcing/offshoring, and how to create fewer, deeper, higher-yield client relationships. If you're serious about moving to external CFO/Board of Advice work, this is your blueprint. You can also access our podcast on: Amazon Music Apple Podcasts Audible Spotify YouTube

Their secret? Leaning into advisory and automation.If you missed Jeannie live at Xerocon, the good news is she's brought the full presentation to the latest episode of The Strategic Bookkeeper Podcast.

Richard Hattersley looks at the political kite flying that has happened over the summer and what we can potentially expect from the Budget. With the government's pledge not to increase national insurance, income tax and VAT, Hattersley shares his conversation with James Quarmby, a partner at Stephenson Haywood, on what he thinks will happen. From Downing Street to Brisbane, Tom Herbert speaks about Xerocon 2025. He details the big announcements and what caught his attention, namely Xero's new partnership with OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT. Herbert explores what this partnership means, its impact, and concerns over data and accuracy. Lastly, Matthew Ord recalls his conversations with Grace Hardy, founder of Hardy Accounting, and James Wright, lecturer for accountancy and finance at the University of Chichester, on the next generation's desire to start their own firm. With 75% of accounting students wanting to start their own business, Ord questions whether this is a wake-up call for the profession to rethink its approach to talent to tackle the skills gap.

Earmark Media Presents a bonus episode of Earmark Podcast:  What happens when Congress votes to eliminate the watchdog that's overseen public company audits for two decades? In this episode, Blake Oliver sits down with three leading accounting academics—Maureen McNichols from Stanford, Nemit Shroff from MIT, and Daniel Aobdia from Penn State—to examine the research behind the PCAOB's effectiveness and what elimination could mean for audit quality. You'll discover why companies with clean audit inspections can raise capital more easily, how the infamous "40% deficiency rate" actually works, and why these researchers believe dismantling the PCAOB could undermine trust in U.S. capital markets. The conversation reveals the hidden economics of audit oversight and explains why there hasn't been a major public company fraud since Enron and WorldCom.Chapters(00:00) - Welcome to the Show (01:10) - Meet the Experts (02:59) - Discussion on PCAOB's Elimination (08:17) - Research Insights on PCAOB's Effectiveness (20:11) - Deficiency Rates and Audit Quality (24:50) - Economic Impact of Fraud and PCAOB's Role (25:20) - Regulatory Model of the PCAOB (25:59) - Incentive Structure and Audit Quality (26:59) - Inspection Deficiency Rates (28:54) - Restatement Rates vs. Deficiency Rates (30:23) - Auditor-Client Relationship Tensions (31:42) - Documentation Issues in Audits (35:15) - Effectiveness of PCAOB Inspections (37:49) - Impact of PCAOB on Financial Reporting Quality (40:33) - Potential Elimination of the PCAOB (44:00) - Conclusion and Final Thoughts Sign up to get free CPE for listening to this podcasthttps://earmarkcpe.comhttps://earmark.app/Download the Earmark CPE App Apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/earmark-cpe/id1562599728Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.earmarkcpe.appConnect with Our Guests:Maureen McNicholshttps://www.gsb.stanford.edu/faculty-research/faculty/maureen-mcnicholsNemit Shroffhttps://mitsloan.mit.edu/faculty/directory/nemit-shroffDaniel Aobdiahttps://directory.smeal.psu.edu/dza5396Connect with Blake Oliver, CPALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blaketoliverTwitter: https://twitter.com/blaketoliver/

Episode 217 FACULTY: Chayton Farlee CLASS: #TheGuide Join us in this enlightening episode where young accounting professional Chayton Farlee shares his journey of discovering the vibrant side of accounting beyond the classroom. Tune in to hear his insightful conversation on breaking free from the traditional 'Big Four' mindset, the importance of real-world experience, and his passion for making accounting both fun and impactful.

Today, I've something exciting to share with you. You know how you get excited when a lost Beatle or Nirvana track is found, well the extraordinary Alexi Boyd uncovered the audio of a panel discussion from Sydney Xerocon PreXerocon 2023. I honestly thought I'd never hear it again, and then mid March she sent me a copy - making me a very happy podcaster cause I get to share it with you. The panel discussion was held at the beautiful Hinchcliff House at Circular Quay. Unfortunately the room was a little noisy on the day of the event. However much to my surprise the audio quality is really quite good.     The topic for discussion was “Unravelling the future of AccounTech”.   If you are a regular listener you will know, I value bringing diversity to these tech conversations: The moderator Alexi Boyd ran a BAS and Bookkeeping business for 8 years. She is the Radio Show host of Small Biz Matters and now works in policy strategy and government relations. Her background led her to take the conversation in an interesting direction, consumer data rights and restrictions on data and innovation and the differences between data protection laws in Europe, UK, and Australia.   This event was the first time Sabby Gill, the new Dext formerly Receipt Bank CEO, had spoken in Australia. Sabby had literally just got off the plane. London based Sabby Gill brought an overseas perspective, as well as his 35 years in the UK technology sector. Aly Garrett is a modern, technology savvy accountant, from South Australia. She represented accountants, their small business clients, and living outside the major Australian cities, brought a regional perspective to the conversation.   Roger Gregg brought that unique energy that comes with being a Fintech founder, plus his expensive knowledge of the hospitality and brewing industry, which certainly flavoured the conversation.    I shall add in some recent relevant news, congratulations are in order, 10 months after recording this, it has been announced that the Access Group Has Entered Into an Agreement to Acquire Pioneering AP Automation Provider, Lightyear    Let me fill you in on a bit of a backstory. The Gregg brothers were one of the original App partners, with their solution InvitBox. I'm thinking within the first ten years? InvitBox won Xero emerging app partner in 2013. Then in May 2014 Intuit acquired InvitBox. The very blue boys turned green overnight. Several years later, in quite an unprecedented move, they bought InvitBox back from Intuit for a single dollar! And relaunched as LightYear.    Here we are ten years later, and they have sold again, this time to The Access Group.    Read more here: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7194623580830105601/  https://heathersmithsmallbusiness.com/2024/06/06/unravelling-the-future-of-accountech-sydney-xerocon-2023/ Contact details: Alexi Boyd https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexiboyd/  Small Biz Matters https://smallbizmatters.com.au/  Aly Garrett https://www.linkedin.com/in/alygarrett/  Sabby Gill https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabbygill/ Roger Gregg https://www.linkedin.com/in/rogergregg/  Accounting Apps newsletter: http://HeatherSmithAU.COM Accounting Apps Mastermind: https://www.facebook.com/groups/XeroMasterMind  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/HeatherSmithAU/  YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/ANISEConsulting  X: https://twitter.com/HeatherSmithAU

The government shutdown threat looms as Congress scrambles to pass funding bills. The IRS previously said it could stay open during a shutdown by relying on Inflation Reduction Act funds. But now the agency says those funds can't sustain operations. According to its union, the IRS is preparing for furloughs and partial closures if a shutdown hits. This reversal surprised IRS employees and could spell delays for taxpayers and CPAs.Show NotesIRS plans possible furloughs in case of shutdownhttps://www.accountingtoday.com/news/irs-plans-possible-furloughs-in-case-of-a-government-shutdownIRS to ‘partially close' if government shutdown happens, reversing earlier plans, union sayshttps://federalnewsnetwork.com/government-shutdown/2023/09/irs-to-partially-close-if-government-shutdown-happens-reversing-earlier-plans-union-says/Need CPE? Subscribe to the Earmark Accounting Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark CPE: https://earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!
