About this episode
Forward-thinking firms transform disruption into dominance.
Accounting Influencers
With Rob Brown
In a profession built on precision, trust, and timeless principles, a disruptive force has arrived—and it’s not just another regulation. It’s technology. Automation, AI, and machine learning are redefining accounting at a rapid pace, sparking a pressing question: Is technology a force for good, or the demise of accountants as we know them?
In this episode of Accounting Influencers, host Rob Brown tackles this seismic shift head-on. With over 300,000 accountants having exited the profession since 2020—a 17% decline—Brown cuts through the noise to examine whether accounting is facing an extinction event or a long-overdue evolution.
That provocative question lies at the heart of this episode, which unpacks the opportunities and risks technology presents to today’s firms and professionals. Spoiler alert: tech isn’t the enemy. But indifference might be.
