The tax talent pipeline is not disappearing. The training model is becoming obsolete. As automation absorbs more preparation, firms must build deliberate pathways into detailed review. That means documented methodologies, stronger checklists, immediate feedback and room for professionals to question what technology produces.

The CPA Exam is not a test of intelligence. It is a test of endurance.

Once upon a time, I thought I had to fit the mold—Chartered Accountant, climb the ladder, check the boxes.

Then came burnout.
Then came purpose.
Then came flow.

Now I’m building tools that help teams thrive, not just survive. I’m helping leaders align with values, not just KPIs. And I’m reminding others: accounting can be a launchpad to ANYTHING.

I’m Bailey Lenart—tech founder, regenerative leadership advocate, and your fellow Agent of Transformation 💥

Let’s show the world what accounting can be.
