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.

A Pioneer in Public Accounting: Looking Forward with James Rainwater

November 27, 2024

Join host John Randolph on Episode 55 of CPA Life, as he talks to James Rainwater, founder of RainwaterCPA, about his journey and unique approach to public accounting. James discusses his non-traditional career path, how he ultimately discovered he prefers the public accounting space over private, and the evolution of his fully remote firm, which is in its second iteration after James founded a much more traditionally focused firm over 20 years ago. Emphasizing the benefits of a nationwide client base, subscription-based pricing, and intentional communication within a geographically dispersed team, James also shares insights on incorporating social media for client acquisition and the importance of flexibility in building a successful, people-focused CPA firm.
