New Podcast Helps Accounting Pros Become Future-Ready

The Maryland Association of CPAs and the Business Learning Institute have launched a weekly podcast as part of their continuing bid to make accounting and finance professionals more future-ready.

Titled “Future-Proof: A Podcast for Tomorrow’s Accounting and Finance Pros,” the show is hosted by MACPA / BLI Chief Communication Officer Bill Sheridan and will feature interviews with some of the world’s most forward-thinking futurists and thought leaders. They’ll offer updates on the latest trends to watch and, perhaps most important, answers to the question: How can this profession become future-ready?

“We’re on a mission,” Sheridan said. “For the past few years, (MACPA / BLI Executive Director) Tom Hood and I and the rest of the BLI’s team of future-focused thought leaders have been crossing the country, one speaking engagement at a time, in a bid to help accounting and finance professionals prepare for what’s ahead — to become future-ready. This podcast is the latest weapon in our profession’s future-ready arsenal.”

Curious about advances in technology? Increasing regulation and legislation? Demographic shifts? The workplace of the future? The skills you need to remain relevant? So is Sheridan and the rest of the MACPA / BLI team, and their podcast will cover all of those trends and more.

The podcast is available on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher, and pretty much anywhere else that podcasts are available. New editions will also be available on the BLI’s blog and on BLI website.

This brief trailer will tell you a little more about the podcast.
