Two flights, one ferry, and enough humidity to frizz even the smoothest operator—Aly and Andrew touched down in Boracay for TOAcon, and let’s just say: the beach wasn’t the only thing breaking down walls. This wasn’t your typical conference. Think fewer PowerPoints, more power moves—from honest chats on leadership handovers to getting real about growth that doesn’t cost your sanity.In Part 1 of this three-part series, Aly and Andrew share their first impressions of the destination conference that flipped the script. You’ll hear from firm owners who opened up about leading, hiring, offshoring, and scaling—without the burnout. Then we sit down with TOA Global’s founder, Nick Sinclair, and CEO, Jeremy Clements, to unpack how a founder handover actually worked—clear roles, weekly check-ins, and enough mutual respect to go around.This episode is packed with sand-between-your-toes insights: why insights > activities, how culture compounds, and why “if you can, you must” might just be your new leadership mantra. You’ll walk away with practical tactics (hello, monthly truth meetings 👀), a fresh take on feedback, and a reminder that community trumps competition—especially when there’s a mojito and sparkling water nearby.🌊 Hit play and get the insights without the airfare.With more to come ...➡️ Part 2: speaker interviews which will blow your mind🧳 Part 3: how to actually prepare for a conference that changes your firm (and maybe your mindset).AAAAA IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR SPONSORSTOA Global Dedicated outsourcing solutions for Accounting firms in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK and across the globe.FOLLOW US ON THE SOCIALSwww.accountingadventures.com.auAccounting Adventures (@accadvpodcast) | InstagramAccounting Adventures | FacebookAccounting Adventures | LinkedInAly & Andrews All Aussie Accounting Adventures (@accadvpodcast) | X Email: [email protected] US OUTALL IN Advisory | Your squad of award-winning accountants, tax wizards, and business visionaries, perfectly tailored to elevate your biz.
