What does martial arts have to do with running a medium-sized accounting firm? Well, as it turns out in this podcast with Rob Newman of Carter Collins & Myer, quite a lot.
We didn't just talk about martial arts, though. In the podcast, we touch on the importance of how we work with our clients and how accountants can genuinely change lives.
We also discuss Rob's LinkedIn style and how he's mastered the art of the inscrutable selfie from his car!

Episode 164: Natasha Frangos, Managing Partner at HaysMac

Paul Shrimpling — Thu, 14 May 2026 09:56:02 +0000

It's rare to find a firm with 650 people and just two offices that is still privately owned – the sort of firm that private equity firms would give their right arm for.
It was therefore a great privilege to welcome Natasha Frangos of HaysMac onto the podcast. Natasha shares what's behind their 65% organic growth in the last four years, their sector-specific strategies, their commitment to and progression of their team, and their level of team engagement.
So why not go and dive into the podcast discussion with Natasha from HaysMac and scroll down the podcast’s episode page for the contact information for Natasha and for the additional, downloadable resources mentioned in the podcast.

Episode 159: Georgi Rollings, Founder and co-CEO at Starfish Accounting

Paul Shrimpling — Tue, 05 May 2026 12:21:47 +0000

No doubt you want to feel a sense of pride about the way you and your team work – a sense of satisfaction that the work you do generates the results you want financially for the firm and for yourself, as well as delivering brilliantly for your clients.
What's clear in this podcast discussion with Georgi Rollings of Starfish Accounting is Georgi's pride in the firm she and her co-owner have created – but there’s also sense of humility around how there's more to learn going forward.
When you achieve fees per FTE that Georgi and the team have managed there – which are healthy, but with room improvement, for sure – you can see that there's a commercial, practical edge to what Georgi and her team are doing.
And you can see the humanity around how she and the team make it work so that they feel a sense of pride, they feel it's an enjoyable place to work – and it delivers the results.

Episode 163: Sam Pearce, Executive Coach at Train of Thought

Paul Shrimpling — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 14:43:12 +0000

Every time we work with a firm and every time we make a podcast, we seek to challenge the status quo. What we mean by that is that we want to challenge your thinking, your decision making, and even the actions you take, with the aim that you achieve transformative results.
When I invited Sam Pearce, of Train of Thought, onto the podcast, I felt that challenge myself, as he coaches and mentors people from the creative sectors, as opposed to the number industry that we're all in.
I was therefore expecting to hear a lot about differences that would challenge my thinking. What actually stood out for me, however, were the similarities of the challenges that he and the people in his industry are facing, and how we, in our profession, the accountancy profession, can learn from that.
So please come and have a listen to this podcast with Sam Pearce. Scroll down the podcast’s episode page for the contact information for Sam and for the additional, downloadable resources mentioned in the podcast.

Episode 158: Dominic Ashley-Timms, Line Management Capability Expert, Author, Speaker and CEO

Paul Shrimpling — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 11:24:33 +0000

One of the most influential and, I think, most important books I've read in recent times is The Answer is the Question, by Dominic Ashley-Timms. It’s important because it lays out a clear pathway to transforming the quality of conversations across your team.
Arguably, it influences how you're going to raise the bar in terms of the conversations with your clients as well.
If you listen in to this podcast discussion with Dominic, you're likely to walk away with insights and ideas that could save you and everyone who is in a management role in your firm a time saving of somewhere between 20% and 40%, which is, by the way, what Dominic suggests is more than likely.
So, please listen to this podcast and scroll down the podcast’s episode page for the contact information for Dominic and for the additional, downloadable resources mentioned in the podcast.
