Accidental Accountant Regan Williams Hi, I'm Regan! I'm a CPA of 30+ years helping "accidental accountants" navigate tax & accounting issues with confidence! Here, we find solutions to common challenges bookkeepers, accountants and CPAs face. Don't see an answer to your question? Then ask! I'm here to help people like you. The Professionals Infosys Knowledge Institute Lawyers, accountants, and consultants reveal their secrets to success and discuss future trends in The Professionals, an Infosys Knowledge Institute podcast. Hosted by Samad Masood, a former journalist and industry analyst with more than 20 years experience observing this dynamic and ever growing industry. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
