Accountants After Hours

Welcome to Accountants After Hours.

In our first episode, we’re sharing how this podcast came to life. 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 Time

Industry gossip, big moves, questionable behaviour and the stuff everyone is whispering about.

💬 Ask Us Anything
