Welcome to the CPA Life Podcast

Public accounting is at a crossroads. After 150 years of “we’ve always done it that way,” the profession faces a talent crisis driven by fewer graduates, rising costs, unsustainable work expectations, and a leadership population nearing retirement.

The solution isn’t more of the same.

Join us as we talk to industry insiders who challenged conventional wisdom by rethinking work arrangements, prioritizing wellbeing, and meeting people where they are. They looked at the burnout, stress, and talent exodus and said: “There’s Got To Be a Better Way!”

The difference? They stepped out to FIND IT.

Redefining What Accounting Success Means with Chris Johnson

February 5, 2025

Continuing the momentum of the new Season 3 of CPA Life is this special two part conversation between John Randolph and Chris Johnson, CEO of CJ CPAs in San Antonio, Texas. Chris started his career in a way typical of many accounting professionals, with a spell in the Big Four and with a local firm before being presented with an unusual opportunity that ultimately led to him founding CJ CPAs. And although many firms claim to value their employees, be committed to work-life balance and innovative practices, and so forth, Chris has proven they mean what they say, with an offered 50K sign-on bonus (the highest publicly known bonus in American accounting history) being one such indicator that they do things a little bit differently. Tune in for part one of this conversation with
