Being a Somebody or a Nobody in Accounting - Both Are Hard

Accounting Voices, hosted by Rob Brown, launches with a sharp new season focused on helping accounting and finance professionals stay relevant, visible and vocal in a profession being reshaped by AI, automation, private equity and consolidation. This is not a show about technical standards or software. It is about leadership, authority and influence — the softer skills that matter most when the rules of the game are being rewritten. Rob outlines the themes coming up in future episodes, from credibility and executive presence to thought leadership and personal brand. He also introduces the Accounting Voices Collective, regular gatherings that bring leaders together for candid conversations, and points to the YouTube channel and LinkedIn newsletter where thousands tune in for updates and video content.
