9. Actionable Intelligence for the Future of the Finance & Accounting Professions | with Rick Telberg

Our guest today is Rick Telberg, the Founder, President, and CEO of CPA Trendlines. And if you’re an accounting or finance professional who is not familiar with CPA Trendlines, you should be. Rick and his team offer insightful and important content, commentary, analysis and research about the profession.

Rick’s an old-school journalist, but unlike so much of journalism today, he’s staying relevant by creating a new-school niche for himself. He is combining what he’s always done, which is creating and curating content, with this notion of collecting data, conducting research, and providing accounting and finance professionals with what he calls “actionable intelligence.”

Really, it all boils down to what journalism has always been about: informing people.

Despite the many professionals in this industry are struggling to keep their head above the water in the wake of rapid change and innovation, Rick is “bullish” on the future of the accounting and finance profession. Rick says it’s a great time to be a CPA, and that this profession is going to be more relevant and more needed going forward.
