The Accounting Podcast

Welcome to the new era of "The Accounting Podcast," formerly known as "The Cloud Accounting Podcast." Why the name change? This show was born out of a passion for technology's role in accounting, and over the last five years, as cloud-based tools became the norm, we broadened our scope to cover a wide range of topics. We're now delving into everything from PPP and the talent crisis to artificial intelligence, fraud, the business models of accounting firms, the IRS, politics, and much more. Our aim is to provide the best audio-based news and analysis in the accounting profession.

Celebrating an incredible milestone of 1 million downloads, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all our listeners and guests who have supported us over the years. As we step into this exciting new phase, we encourage you to engage with us - whether you're a longtime listener or just tuning in. Please send us your feedback, story ideas, or even a voicemail that we might play on the air at cloudaccountingpodcast@earmarkcpe.com.

Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Accounting Podcast. I'm Blake Oliver. The Accounting Podcast. That's going to take some time to get used to. You may have noticed that our name has changed. We dropped the Cloud from the Cloud Accounting Podcast. And now we're just the Accounting Podcast. So why do we make this change?

This summer, we hit 1 million downloads. Yes. You heard that right. 1 million downloads for The Cloud Accounting Podcast. And I just want to pause and take a moment and say, thank you so much to all of our listeners. All of our guests over the years who have supported us and hit that subscribe button and download button and made that happen. Thank you.

Hitting this milestone has caused me and David Leary to think back on the last five years. And think about where we started and where we are now. And at the start this show was all about technology.

It was about QuickBooks Online. It was about Xero. It was about Intacct and Oracle NetSuite, and all of the apps that were plugging into these general ledger systems in the cloud. And making businesses possible accounting firms possible that weren't possible before.

Fast forward five years and that's the norm. When we talk about tech by default, we talk about cloud. We don't even think about it.

As the accounting profession has evolved so has this show. We are talking about everything. We're not just talking about cloud tech. We're talking about PPP and the talent crisis and fraud and artificial intelligence and business models of accounting firms. The IRS. Politics. Everything's on the table. And so that's why we're changing the name.

It describes us better and it commits us to providing you with the best audio-based news and analysis in the accounting profession.

Whether you're a longtime listener or a new listener. We want to hear from you about how we can do that. Send us an email at cloudaccountingpodcast@earmarkcpe.com and let us know how we can make this show better. And if you have a story for us we want to hear that as well. So send us your emails. Send us your voicemails. And we might even play that voicemail on the air. Don't forget, you can earn free CPE for listening with the Earmark app. Learn more at earmarkcpe.com

Thanks again for listening and we hope you enjoy the next five years.
