Welcome to the                            CPA Life Podcast

The Public Accounting, Consulting and Advisory space is at a critical crossroad. 

After almost 150 years of “we’ve always done it that way” reasoning, the industry is facing a crisis like it has never faced. 

Between a significant reduction in accounting graduates in the last decade, a firm ownership population that is at or fast-approaching retirement age, a 150-hour requirement to sit for the exam which can add several thousand dollars to an already large debt-load a graduate starts their career with - add to that the work hours expectations placed on employees by most large, national firms vs. adjacent industries offering more compensation, and it’s clear to see changes are a must! 

Join us here as we talk to industry insiders and firm leaders that are going against the grain and addressing many of these challenges head on while building forward-thinking, solutions-focused firms.

Like many of you, these firm leaders made the statement that most staff and senior associates have made over a beer or glass of wine after pulling an end-of-season all-nighter - “There’s Got To Be A Better Way!”

The difference?

These folks stepped out to find that BETTER WAY.

Building a Remote Accounting Firm from the Ground Up with Zane Stevens

August 2, 2023

Zane Stevens co-founded Protea Financial, an accounting firm focused on the wine industry, and it was remote from the beginning. He talks to John Randolph on Episode 18 of CPA Life about how this allowed him to treat employees like adults and provide flexibility in their roles. He also emphasizes the benefits of niche focus, arguing that firms that try to be everything to everyone often underdeliver. Zane notes that communication is often the biggest challenge for remote teams, requiring purposeful structures and frequent adjustments. Still, he finds that remote work allows for more precise, focused conversations and improved productivity.
