There’s something special about gathering with your professional crew right in your own backyard. When vendors pack their bags and roll into your city, they’re not just saving you the hassle of airport security and bad airline snacks – they’re investing in local connections, bringing the brainpower to you, and proving that professional development doesn’t have to mean jet lag.

This season, Aly and Andrew are diving deep into industry gatherings, starting with roadshows – those traveling treasure troves of thought leadership, product updates, and networking gold. We’re peeling back the curtain on what makes these regional events tick – from the logistical chaos organisers face to the classic no-show problem at free events (seriously, folks, just show up if you register!).

Our case study? The Xero Summer Series – a fresh take on professional development that skips the sales pitch and goes all-in on thought leadership. Economic forecasts, tech trends, and wellbeing strategies? Check. But let’s be real – the real magic happens in the margins: over pre-event coffee chats, post-event happy hours, and those in-between moments where local accountants swap war stories and wisdom. Whether you’re a solo accountant craving community or a firm leader looking to invest in your team, roadshows serve up top-tier professional development without the cross-country trek.

So, are you ready to hit the road with us? We’ll be exploring events big and small all season long. Tell us your favourite industry gatherings and let’s talk about why accountants really come together (spoiler: it’s not just for the CPE credits or is it!). 🚗

Roses are red,
Balance sheets are tight,
Accountants keep you stress-free at night!

We’re back, baby! And what better way to launch the new season than with a Valentine’s Day special? Join Aly, Andrew, Amy, and Jack as we dive into the real love stories—between accountants and their clients. 💘

Have you ever had an accountant so good, you considered adding them to your holiday card list? We’re talking about the unsung financial heroes who do more than crunch numbers—they break bad news gently, keep businesses afloat, and somehow make tax season slightly less painful. Amy even shares her (strictly platonic!) love for her own accountant—because let’s be honest, where would we be without them?

But it’s not all sunshine and spreadsheets. Ever thought about breaking up with a client? Or better yet, playing matchmaker between accountants and their dream clients? We’re tackling the tough (and hilarious) realities of work-life balance, client overload, and the fine art of saying, "It’s not you, it’s your financial habits."

So whether you're here for the laughs, the insights, or just to appreciate the real MVPs of the financial world, buckle up—this season is full of love, laughs, and a whole lot of accounting adventures. 🎧💖

It’s beginning to look a lot like... laughter! Join us for a holly-jolly episode packed with festive cheer, side-splitting stories, and just the right amount of Christmas chaos. 🎅

We’re decking the halls with special guests Amy and Jack from All Aussie Accounting Tech Adventures. Together, we unwrap what we loved most about this year, from unexpected surprises to moments that made us grateful. We also share our hopes and dreams for next year—some heart-warming, some downright hilarious.

You can expect belly laughs, family traditions, and debates over Christmas classics (yes, Die Hard comes up again). Plus, a sprinkling of holiday extras that will leave you laughing harder than Santa after too much eggnog (or Andrew after 4 bevvies).

So pour yourself a mug of cocoa and settle in—this is one Christmas cracker you don’t want to miss!
