Turn disruption into opportunity and lead with confidence.

Accounting Influencers
With Rob Brown

As disruption reshapes the accounting profession, a harsh reality is emerging: the vast majority of firms are not keeping pace. In this episode of Accounting Influencers, host Rob Brown warns that more than 70% of accountants globally are unprepared for the seismic changes sweeping through the industry, from AI and automation to evolving client expectations and a volatile talent marketplace.

“Disruption isn’t coming. It’s already here,” Brown says. “Those who don’t make the shift in time are going to get left behind—plain and simple.”

The show explores how outdated processes, resistance to change, and lagging leadership development are putting firms at risk. Leaders can no longer afford to rely solely on technical skills. Today’s environment demands influence, adaptability, and a willingness to tackle uncomfortable change head-on.
