Most people think accountants are just “bean counters” — pale faces buried in spreadsheets and tax returns. But the truth is far bigger.
In this episode of No Set Format, we strip away the clichés and step inside the real world of accounting:
From public accountants advising family businesses, to auditors uncovering billion-dollar frauds.
From management accountants sketching futures in late-night offices, to forensic specialists tracing money through scandals like Enron and Madoff.
From tax experts navigating impossible codes, to government accountants keeping hospitals, schools, and public trust alive.
Through listener voices from Chicago to Ohio, and real-world stories from the UK and US, we discover that accounting isn’t just numbers — it’s choices, consequences, and lives written between the lines.
Because every balance sheet tells a story.
And maybe… yours begins here.
