“we can’t fight the rapid technological changes – we can only leverage them to provide better service and insights to our clients,” patil said. “technology puts advisory services within the financial reach of more small business owners. but the superpower that accountants still have is the ability to connect our clients’ goals and aspirations with what’s happening in accounting,” he added, saying that it enables conversations on a higher level. “instead of pestering them for bank statements and receipts, we can ask about trends we see in the financials,” patil said.

q: why did the accountant cross the road?

a: because they did it last year.

erik solbakken, a.k.a. “the heavy metal cpa,” is on a mission to free accountants from an oppressive business model. solbakken spent 18 years working his way up to be a partner in a firm in canada, but when the partnership fell apart, he was liberated to create a new kind of firm, where he and his staff never worked overtime and he made more money. today, he acts as the guide he wishes he’d had when he started out, empowering accountants to create firms they love working in.
