It's A Write Off

Trevor Myres, CPA & Joel Lutz

Everyone loves a good write-off. Unfortunately, that’s where most tax advice begins and ends. On It’s A Write Off, we go beyond deductions and dive into the strategies that help business owners build wealth, improve profitability, and make smarter financial decisions. Along the way, we’ll tackle tax planning, business growth, cash flow, advisory insights, and the occasional myth that refuses to die. Whether you’re a business owner, CPA, tax professional, or trusted advisor, you’ll find practical ideas, real-world stories, and maybe even a few things your accountant forgot to mention. Because sometimes the biggest opportunities aren’t the ones you write off.

    Building a modern accounting team with onshore and offshore talent

    In this episode of It’s a Write Off, Joel Lutz and Trevor Myres speak with Aaron Sublette of Cloud Accountant Staffing about the evolving accounting talent market and how firms can build stronger teams using onshore, offshore, and remote professionals. Aaron explains how Cloud Accountant Staffing expanded from offshore staffing into domestic permanent placements and why modern accounting firms should develop a talent pipeline before they urgently need to hire. He also shares what today’s candidates are looking for beyond compensation, including career growth, strong leadership, flexibility, mentorship, meaningful work, and opportunities to build client relationships. The conversation also explores how artificial intelligence and automation are changing accounting roles. As more routine work becomes automated, firms will need professionals who can think critically, communicate clearly, build trust, and deliver a high-touch advisory experience. Joel, Trevor, and Aaron also share practical strategies for creating a strong remote culture, including regular one-on-one meetings, public recognition, mentorship, shared team meetings, virtual coworking sessions, and giving remote employees opportunities to communicate directly with clients. Topics include remote accounting staffing, offshore hiring, domestic recruiting, advisory services, AI in accounting, employee retention, soft skills, customer success, client experience, and building a scalable accounting firm.
