Two friends who’ve spent the last five years voice noting each other about client chaos, team dramas, AI, big ideas and industry frustrations.Because this profession can feel lonely. And it doesn’t have to.We introduce ourselves properly, reflect on the year that was, and talk about the events that brought the industry back to life. From Xerocon to awards nights to forums, we unpack why showing up matters and why community is everything.We also discuss AI advancements and what we’re seeing on the ground, our predictions for 2026 including automation, mergers and the rise of agents and our theme for the year.Plus we launch two regular segments:☕ Tea TimeIndustry gossip, big moves, questionable behaviour and the stuff everyone is whispering about.💬 Ask Us AnythingSend us the questions you’re too nervous to ask publicly and we’ll answer them here.If you think you know us from LinkedIn, think again.🔗 Episode links:Facebook Groups:Totally Bossing It - for accountants and bookkeepers of tomorrowSmall Business Accountants & Advisers Brain Trust, AustraliaEvents:Accounting & Business ExpoXero Supercharged SessionsCAANZ International Women’s DayCAANZ Elevate Your Impact Conference Women in Finance LunchWomen in Finance AwardsAustralian Accounting AwardsXerocon DenverFollow, subscribe and share with an accountant who needs a space where the real conversations happen.☕️ Send us your accounting industry tea and questions - hello@accountantsafterhours or DM on socials:Follow us on Instagram (it’s where we have the most fun)Like us on FacebookFollow us on LinkedInWatch and subscribe on YouTubeThank you to our sponsors Ignition who we both love and use in our businesses to automate proposals and streamline main invoicing.
