Who's Watching The Money? is the podcast that pulls back the curtain on the world of accountancy, family businesses, and the real-life humans behind the numbers.
Hosted by Dan Daly and Paul Redmond of RDA Accountants, each episode tackles the questions that matter most to business owners and families: How do you protect what you've built? How do you pass it on? Who's asking you the hard questions that a corporate board would ask? And what are the hidden risks lurking in your business that nobody's talking about?
With a blend of practical advice, personal stories, and the occasional debate Dan and Paul bring warmth, humour, and expertise to topics that too often get buried in jargon.
Whether you're a family business owner, an entrepreneur, or simply someone who wants to understand how money really works, Who's Watching The Money? is your invitation to think differently about your business, your family, and your future.
Because if you're not asking the questions, who is?
You're Not Staying Because It's Working—You're Staying Because It's Less Awkward
Welcome back to Who's Watching The Money? In episode three, Dan Daly and Paul Redmond from RDA Accountants tackle a subject that's rarely discussed but deeply felt: the sometimes awkward relationship between business owners and their accountants.
You've been with the same accountant for fifteen years. They did your first VAT return. They know your family. But somewhere along the way, the service stopped growing while your business didn't. Maybe the communication dried up. Maybe you've been passed around to different staff members. Maybe you've got a question you're afraid to ask because—well—it just feels awkward.
In this episode, Dan and Paul explore the real reasons business owners stay with accountants who no longer serve them, and why the fear of an awkward conversation keeps them stuck. They discuss the biggest reasons people consider changing and why none of those reasons are good enough to stay.
They also tackle the practical side of switching: how straightforward the process actually is, why you're not contractually trapped, and the six simple steps to making a change.
But this isn't just about leaving. It's about empowering business owners to expect more—more communication, more regular meetings, more value. Because your accountant should be someone you can ask anything, at any time, without fear. And if you can't, that's a sign something needs to change.
Whether you're thinking about switching, on the fence, or just want to know what you should be getting from your accountant, this episode is for you.

The 10 Questions Every Family Business Owner Should Be Asking
Welcome back to Who's Watching The Money? In this episode, Dan Daly and Paul Redmond from RDA Accountants tackle one of the most important topics for any business owner: the questions you should be asking yourself but probably aren't.
The big corporates have a board of directors who meet regularly to challenge, scrutinise, and ask the hard questions. But who's asking the family business owner? The answer, too often, is nobody. In this episode, Paul puts Dan in the hot seat with ten critical questions designed to expose the blind spots that leave owner-managed businesses vulnerable.
From key person risk to trapped wealth, from tax structures to legacy planning, this episode is a practical checklist for anyone who wants to protect their business, their family, and their future.
Whether you're a business owner, part of a family firm, or an advisor looking to better serve your clients, this episode will challenge you to confront the hidden risks and missed opportunities that come with running a business. Because if you're not asking the questions, who is?
