Parting thought from ENGAGE: Don’t let tech changes overwhelm you

Jun 20, 2024

Byron Patrick, CPA/CITP, CGMA, took time from his schedule during AICPA & CIMA ENGAGE a few weeks back to join the JofA podcast.

Patrick, recently named CEO at a startup company, has been a regular on the show over the years, talking mainly about technology topics. He continued that theme in this episode, discussing artificial intelligence, how the roles of chief technology officer and chief information officer have changed over the years, and why accounting professionals shouldn’t feel overwhelmed by all the tech-focused changes taking place.

Also, click here for the podcast episode from nearly five years ago in which Patrick discussed the use of emojis in email.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

  1. Why Patrick calls ENGAGE “the premier event of the year.”
  2. Details about the AICPA and CPA.com Startup Accelerator.
  3. A summary of key messages and themes from a technology-focused ENGAGE session.
  4. Patrick’s advice for fellow accountants who might feel overwhelmed by the speed of technology-based changes.
