Buzz words are everywhere. From “fake news” to “mind share,” words not only shape how we think about something, but they can define a movement and even bring about social change. Here in our industry, we are being inundated by the word “disruption.” Technological advancements are hitting the accounting industry – or disrupting the industry – at a rapid pace. As a result, firms are faced with a choice: we can either embrace change and innovate or we can reject change and step aside. Here at Rea, we’ve chosen to embrace change and innovate.

On this episode, Don McIntosh, our firm’s CEO, talks about what we’re doing to adapt to these changes, while working to deliver even more value to the businesses and individuals we serve. We dive deeper into the concept of disruption, how it’s changing the accounting industry, and how it’s changing the business world in general.
