About this episode
Alicia shares her experience at BDO Evolve 2026, covering the relationship-building mindset that changed how she approached the entire conference and a session on Gen Z in the workplace that has her rethinking how accounting firms onboard and develop new staff. She also reveals that Royal Wise took home a BDO Alliance Award for Growth Strategy and breaks down the positioning and pricing decisions behind that win, plus answers a live "stump the expert" question on how QuickBooks Online handles physical versus economic sales tax nexus.
