Toby York - The Future of Teaching Accounting
<p>Toby is the founder of Accounting Cafe (<a href="https://accountingcafe.org/">https://accountingcafe.org/</a>), a community for people who believe that accounting education can be an engaging and enjoyable experience for teachers and learners. We chatted about the future of accountants, and accounting, some of the challenges and considerations in teaching accounting, and some fascinating topics in between! Ranging from the good old bookkeeping days of ‘box jobs’ (we definitely don’t have the same feelings about those!) to considering some of the questions around teaching accounting. I’d love to say we’ve solved all these challenges, but at the very least, we’ve raised some fascinating questions and ideas. Enjoy!</p><p><br><a href="https://www.coloraccounting.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a><br></p><p><br></p>

Wes Towers - Communication & Value-add as accountants
<p>Wes Towers is a designer, marketer, and founder of Uplift 360, a digital agency built on data-driven decision-making and smart use of AI. A few years ago, a formal valuation report said his business was worth less than the assets it held and flagged AI as a major risk. Instead of retreating, Wes reworked his business model, embraced automation and AI tools, and went on to create his most profitable year to date. He now shares practical, real-world lessons on using technology, communication, and strategic thinking to build a resilient, opportunity-rich career in a changing professional landscape.</p><p>We chatted about communication, your role and value-add as an accounting outside of the numbers, leadership and of course, a little about AI. </p><p>Visit: <a href="https://uplift360.com.au/">https://uplift360.com.au/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/westowers/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/westowers/</a></p>
