AICPA chair: Why change is good, and needed, for the profession

Carla McCall, CPA, CGMA, managing partner of the firm AAFCPAs, began her one-year term as AICPA chair in May. In this JofA podcast episode, she said that "whirlwind" was a good description of the first few months in the role, "but in a good way." "If you truly love what you do, somehow it doesn't seem so arduous and it goes by real quick," McCall said, labeling interactions with numerous people in the profession as "rewarding." In this episode, McCall reflects on what she's learned about herself, why her firm has benefited from her "front-row seat," and her message to accountants about doing their part to grow the talent pipeline.
