Episode 169: Ian Cooper, Head of UK region and growth for FYI

Paul Shrimpling — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 11:25:31 +0000

Who’d have thought that document management could be sexy and interesting? In this podcast with Ian Cooper of FYI Docs, Ian, by his own admission, does tell us that doc management isn't really that sexy, but it did make for an interesting podcast.
Ian and I talked over a range of subjects, not least the inevitable rise of AI and the accelerating pace of technology.
I especially appreciated Ian's views on how AI can help the accountant with the human side of their business.
Please listen in on this thought-provoking podcast, and you can scroll down the podcast’s episode page for the contact information for Ian and for the additional downloadable resources mentioned in the podcast.

Episode 178: Andy Collings, Country Manager UK & VP International Market for Active UK

Paul Shrimpling — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 16:22:12 +0000

Occasionally we have a guest on the podcast who asks more questions than provides answers. And I think that's a good thing, because only when we're challenged do we really tap into new ways of thinking and working and, as a consequence, better results.
This is why I loved this podcast discussion with Andy Collings from Active, who brings a different perspective to the way accountants can, and perhaps should, work.
Please tun in and scroll down the podcast’s episode page for the contact information for Andy and for the additional downloadable resources mentioned in the podcast.

Episode 177: Rob Quinn, Head of Creative Industries at BAND

Paul Shrimpling — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 16:08:54 +0000

It's rare to have a conversation with a leader of an accounting firm who's not actually an accountant, someone who'd previously been a successful entrepreneur in his own right and who then became part of the leadership team of a successful, fast-growing accounting firm.
In this podcast with Rob Quinn of BAND, we spend a good deal of time diving into the value of being clear about your firm's positioning in the hearts and minds of your current and future customers, as well as the importance of the value equation attached to that positioning for ensuring team buy-in and the continued growth you seek for your firm.
I encourage you to take time out and check out the conversation with Rob.
