Thank you Michael Hsu of DeepSky for introducing this month’s THRIVEcast.

Jason and Greg discuss simplicity once again. Greg suggests that CPA firms have quite a bit of power over their customers and should treat that very carefully. Jason makes the point that making something simple for your customer may actually create additional work for you. Jason and Greg get pretty excited over their idea of using video engagement letters.

Rick Telberg shares the short version of how he came to work in the accounting profession. He offers his insights into our changing profession, addressing topics such as technology, CPE vs. real learning, communities, and how the 150 hour rule was harmful to CPA firms and accountants.
