Description

Over more than five years and 200 episodes, The Unique CPA has blossomed from "just an accounting podcast" into a community of thriving accounting professionals. With personal fulfillment and energizing, passionate work at the top of our list of priorities, we're keeping you at the forefront of the changing face of public accounting through conversations with fascinating leaders who understand that the one constant in the accounting profession is change: Change in our approach to the demands of the profession, change in the technology we use to more efficiently do our jobs, and change in our ability to express who each of us really is as a human being.
