10:10 In Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO), you can only give advice if you've actually lived that experience before - good or bad. But you cannot give advice if you've never done it.
10:21 With outsourced functions, what all do ya'll provide? What are accounting firms kind of demanding or really needing right now? What's in high demand?
12:17 What are your thoughts around advisory and how much accounting firms - financial advisors...do you help support that transition towards advisory as well?
15:17 In the U.S., you just throw CPA or EA in a bucket and the client just assumes they do everything, and to me I feel like there should be some more oversights
16:34 Why do firms need to outsource, and what is this kind of crisis that we're in right now?
20:02 A lot of the bigger firms are already outsourcing. Some successfully. Some not. Where is it going wrong, versus how you found it to go right?
22:18 Tell me a little more specifics about how your process works. So, I come to you and I say "Hey, I need a bookkeeper." Do you go find that talent that has the experience level that I'm asking for?
23:10 Who would not be a good fit for outsourcing?
30:40 The role of AI: Are the services and work that you're supplying - is it going to change drastically?

12:01 For those that aren't super familiar with the captive insurance concept, let's expand a bit more on what it is and how it can essentially wipe out a $100k liability each year. There's a lot to it. Why do people put it on a nasty list, and how do you stay away from that?
16:22 What are the basics if someone asks you "I have a tax preparer or I have an accountant...they're already doing all this for me..." and the answer's typically no they're not - and it's because if they're more compliance focused, they're just too freaking busy to be looking ahead at proactive stuff. What are warning signs to ask for if you truly want a tax planner?
