The future of accounting is looking pretty bright!

Forbes recently ranked Accounting #3 among degrees considered safest from AI disruption, and it's a good reminder of what this profession is really about.

Technology will continue to change how accountants work, but great accounting has never been just about crunching numbers. It's about critical thinking, professional judgment, problem-solving, accountability, and relationships.

At PBH, we're excited to embrace the tools that make us better while continuing to invest in the people behind the work.

Thinking about a career in accounting? We'd say the numbers look pretty good from here.

Sharing what you know is even better with a good crowd!

John Manning recently spent time teaching at the GFOAT Governmental Accounting Academy in Flower Mound, connecting with local government professionals from across Texas and talking all things governmental accounting.

We love sharing expertise, catching up with familiar faces, and making a few new connections along the way!

A couple of days well spent with our audit teams!

Frank Crawford of Crawford & Associates recently joined our government and corporate audit teams in Waco and Albuquerque for two days of training on Single Audits, Yellow Book audits, and what’s new in the industry.

Lots of good information, plenty of conversation, and a little happy hour mixed in, too!

Thanks to Frank for spending the time with us and sharing his expertise. We always appreciate the opportunity to keep our teams learning and connected!

Backpacks, school supplies, packed schedules...back-to-school season adds up quickly!

As everyone steps into a new school year, a little organization now can save a lot of headaches later. A few things worth keeping in mind:

✔️ Hang on to receipts for qualifying education-related expenses
✔️ Set a budget before the back-to-school spending gets away from you
✔️ Take a look at available financial aid or reimbursement options
✔️ Start organizing important tax records now instead of hunting them down later

A little planning goes a long way, especially during one of the busiest (and most expensive!) times of the year.

Happy back-to-school season from PBH! 🍎

If today was any indication, Central Texas is READY for some football! 🏈

We had a great time at today’s Greater Waco Chamber Kickoff Luncheon! We got a preview of what’s ahead for high school and college football this season and heard from Baylor Head Coach Dave Aranda and Dallas Cowboys legend Randy White!

Out team was happy to be a sponsor and even happier to be in the room. Bring on football season!
