Episode Details

For several years now, finance executives have had talent development and retention on their minds – even with all the other business headwinds they're facing today. That's why the timing of an apprenticeship program has been so important, and why it's the main topic on this episode of the JofA podcast.

 Today's guest, Barry Payne, director—External Relations, Management Accounting at AICPA & CIMA, together as the Association of International Certified Professional Accountants, explains the tie-in between the emphasis on apprenticeships and the Future of Finance Leadership Advisory Group (FFLAG).

 Also, hear a short segment of the Small Firm Philosophy podcast where the owner of a small CPA firm talks about a drastic change to her business model that paid personal and professional dividends.
