A podcast for accountants and accounting firms, produced well.

Clients tend to contact an accountant late, at a deadline. A podcast puts the answers in front of them earlier and shows how the firm works.

Why accountants start a podcast

Bookkeeping and admin questions repeat every year. Turning the most common ones into episodes saves the same explanation being given again by email.

What the show can cover

Formats that work for this sector:

  • The calendar of the year: what to prepare and when.
  • A new rule explained for sole traders or small companies.
  • Mistakes a firm sees in records and how to avoid them.
  • A guest from a bank, software vendor or advisory body.

What to settle before you record

The season is the constraint. Many firms are too busy to record from the start of the filing period, so batch episodes ahead and keep the publishing schedule independent of your workload.

  • Record several episodes in one session before the busy months.
  • Mark the date of each episode so dated rules are not left online as current.
  • Decide whether you cover only your own country’s rules.

How radio.app produces it

You record; we make the podcast. For accountants and accounting firms that means cleaning and levelling every voice, building the intro and sound identity, editing to a script or notes, and delivering finished episodes to one loudness standard. The production process shows each step, and the plans show the starting points.

Questions

Questions, answered.

How often should an accounting firm publish?

As often as you can keep up for a year. A fortnightly or monthly show built from batched recordings is more realistic than weekly episodes.

What do we need to send?

The original recordings, one file per person if possible, and short notes on names, terms and anything to cut. The [recording checklist](/podcast-production/how-to-record-a-podcast-remotely) explains how to capture clean audio.
