    Under the Hood: Specialising in the accounting business

    In this episode of Under the Hood, Accountants Daily journalist Carlos Tse is joined by Eddie Senatore, principal at Eddie Senatore Advisory and fellow at the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, to explore how accountants can move beyond traditional compliance work to specialised work, identify business risks earlier, and rethink the way they advise their clients. Carlos and Eddie discuss the changing role of the accountant and why advisory needs to go deeper than simply analysing historical financial information. Eddie explains why traditional insolvency indicators are often lagging signs of trouble, and how understanding the business clients and their industry is key to providing proactive advice. They also explore the opportunities AI presents for the profession, the value of industry specialisation, the importance of pricing and operational efficiency, and rethinking practice structure and how accountants serve their clients. Tune in to hear more about: Why most insolvency indicators are lagging. How accountants can spot potential problems earlier. Why understanding a client's business and industry is critical to providing meaningful advisory services. How AI is changing the relationship between professional advisers and their clients. Why accountants need to rethink their practice models and focus on the areas where they can provide the most value. The importance of getting organised, understanding pricing, and improving operational efficiency.

    Since she was a teenager, Heather Smith has viewed accounting as a "global language", and a vocational pathway that she could travel the world with.

How the practice of accounting is transferable across borders.  Her experiences of living and working overseas.  Gaining a more holistic perspective on what it means to be a good practitioner in Australia.  Exposing oneself to the breadth of professional opportunities and events available overseas.

    Accountants are at an inflection point

    MYOB's Accounting Industry Monitor findings have shown that, if accounting professionals have not already made a strategic pivot to being trusted business advisers to clients, they urgently need to get on board. In this special episode of Accountants Daily Insider, produced in partnership with MYOB, we unpack the impact of new technologies on daily operations, and how accountants need to be positioning themselves for the future.  Host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Liam Hindle, general manager of product at MYOB, to discuss: Why the move from transactional work to strategic advisory is accelerating. Technology as both the biggest enabler and the biggest source of friction. Why client expectations have been permanently reset toward real-time, proactive service. How talent shortages are driving investment in role design, not just recruitment. Why compliance burdens are the structural barrier holding practices back.
