It’s the final episode of 2025. As you wrap up your year-end close and prepare for the holidays, you might be asking: “Is this it? Am I ready for another 12 months of the same routine?”

If you’ve been watching the rise of digital assets and wondering how an accountant breaks into the industry without learning to code—this episode is your answer.

In this festive special, we map out exactly how to pivot your finance career to Web3 in 2026. We debunk the myth that you need to be a developer to get hired and reveal the "bridge roles" that need your current skills right now.

In this episode, we cover:

• The "New GAAP" Skill Stack: Why you need to swap Excel for Block Explorers (and how to learn them over the Christmas break).
• Bridge Roles: How to move into high-demand jobs like Crypto Fund Controller or Stablecoin Reconciler.
• The "Shadow Portfolio": A practical homework assignment that will put your CV in the top 1% of candidates.
• The UK Advantage: Why London’s regulated fintech market is desperate for compliance-savvy accountants.

Whether you are a seasoned auditor or a newly qualified accountant, this is your guide to future-proofing your career.

From all of us at the FACT Podcast, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
