The accounting world is full of opportunities to connect, yet so many us are still going it alone, heads down, caught up in the day-to-day, unaware of the incredible ecosystems waiting for them.In this episode, Aly and Amy reflect on their time on the road with the BGL RegTech roadshow, sharing real talk from a roadshow that’s built a loyal following over the last nine years. It’s more than just a CPD checkpoint, it’s a heartbeat moment for many in the industry, especially solo practitioners who might only make it to one event a year.They unpack why spaces like this matter, especially when you don’t have a big team or in-house sounding board. Events like these offer more than industry updates, they offer direction, inspiration, and genuine connection.One standout moment? Daniel’s unforgettable keynote on courage, where he didn’t shy away from talking about shame, failure, and ownership. It hit differently. When someone stands up and shares something real, you can feel the room shift.Aly and Amy also open up about their own experiences of connection, from deep convos at conferences to the quiet comfort of admitting, “I’m not okay.” Turns out, meaningful moments don’t need to be loud. They just need to be real.If you’ve ever felt like you're doing this whole thing on your own, this episode is your reminder: connection isn’t a bonus, it’s a necessity. And whether it’s at a big event or a one-on-one chat, finding your people can change everything. So join Amy and Aly on their next accounting adventure.AAAAA IS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY OUR SPONSORSBGL With 35 years of experience and ISO 27001 certification, BGL Corporate Solutions delivers innovative, multi-award winning company compliance, self-managed superannuation fund, investment management, identity verification and AI-powered paper-to-data software solutions to 12,700+ businesses maintaining 1.5 million+ entities worldwide.
