As one of the first CPA "firm administrators," Rita Keller grew an accounting practice from 11 people to a regional firm with over 125 people across three offices. Learn the number one thing holding back firms from growth, why hiring a Chief Operating Officer is essential, and why the partner model often fails to deliver results (and how to fix it).
The Earmark Podcast is where accounting and tax professionals hear directly from the people shaping the future of the profession.
Hosted by Blake Oliver, CPA, the show features conversations with firm owners, technology leaders, educators, policymakers, and practitioners about the forces changing accounting — from AI and automation to talent, advisory, tax, audit, regulation, and firm strategy. Each episode goes beyond the headlines to explore what’s changing, why it matters, and what it means for the people doing the work.
