On behalf of the Accounting Influencers Broadcast Network, this is the "Insights in Accounting" show, going live every Tuesday. This show is about filling in the knowledge gaps in your busy lives as accountants and leaders in practice, plus bookkeepers, finance leaders and the software/fintech industry that serves them. It's what you missed and you didn't know you missed, and why it's important.

Episode 6. In today's interview, "The Key Differences Between CPAs and Accountants."

Key takeaways from this episode include:

❊ why so many people wrongly call the 'accounting profession' the 'accounting industry'

❊ whether clients should care about hiring a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) instead of an accountant or vice versa

❊ what a CPA is allowed and qualified to do that a standard accountant isn't

❊ why a software-certified professional (Xero, Quickbooks etc) is NOT an accounting professional

❊ why all CPAs are accountants but not all accountants are CPAs

❊ where a business client might hire an accountant over a CPA

❊ three things a business owner should consider in addressing the CPA vz accountant dilemma

❊ how UK qualifications differ in accountancy to the US and other countries

❊ shout out to IACPA, CIMA, ACCA, ICAEW and other professional bodies

❊ the need for accountants themselves to maintain professional standards and stick up for their hard-earned qualifications
