The Private Equity CFO who “Loves her job!”

Laura Thompson, CPA, shares her journey to becoming the CFO of a private equity firm. After working 10 years at one of the Big Four, she moved into private industry on the fast-track to leadership—fighting the feeling of imposter syndrome to achieve success. She emphasizes the power of hard work, building professional relationships, and the range of opportunities you open by earning a degree in accounting. It’s not just crunching numbers; it’s unlimited potential in business, finance, and career opportunities.

 

The Fulfilled Family Office CFO

Access is key

CEO of the Association of Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA), Damian Rivera, shares his unusual career path from engineering to corporate executive to non-profit leader. His passion for giving back to his community spurred his entry into ALPFA leadership, where 60-65% of members are accountants. Convinced of the power of an accounting degree to revolutionize entrepreneurship and small businesses nationwide, Damian is committed to offering access to infrastructure, education, and opportunities in the field. 

 

Building the Profession

We sit with Okorie Ramsey, leader in the profession and former chair of the AICPA—now Vice President of Sarbanes/Oxley (SOX) for Kaiser Permanente. Mr. Ramsey discusses his insights into the future of accounting, including what is needed to inspire new accountants and the importance of creating a “bigger table” for a diversity and equality of voices. Get an expert’s advice on building relationships, creating sustainability, and other key initiatives for the health and advancement of the accounting profession.

 

Rethinking the CPA Pipeline

Is eliminating the 150 hours requirement the key to building the professional pipeline? Host Chris Mitchell sits down with Kimberly Ellison Taylor, founder and CEO of KET Solutions, LLC to discuss how to build a stronger future for the accounting profession, and how getting rid of the 150-hour requirement may not be the best solution to increasing the amount of CPAs. Instead, the solution may lie in reshaping current CPAs' attitude toward the profession and how to act as ambassadors to a new generation of prospective accountants and strengthening DEI initiatives to connect with a wider audience. Kimberly also outlines her five E's for success that will benefit both prospective and experienced CPAs.
