This comes as a surprise to <em>no one<\/em> who knows me (or even <em>knows <u>of<\/u><\/em> me) \u2013 I\u2019ve been featured in countless promo reels, given interviews on the topic, written \u201ctips &amp; tricks\u201d articles, and talked up the amazing Accounting Cornerstone Foundation (more on them later) endlessly. Why? Accountants are boring, right? Why would anyone want to hang out with a bunch of them? What is there to learn that you can\u2019t get from an industry publication? And anyway, conferences are expensive and couldn\u2019t possibly be worth all the fuss, right. What\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n<p>I recently joined Gary DeHart of Insightful Accountant to discuss exactly that question, and to walk through my picks for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iRQS291QaKU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 10 Accounting Conferences of 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nancy McClelland&#039;s Top 10 Accounting Conferences of 2025 | EP. 116\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iRQS291QaKU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Why I Attend Accounting Conferences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Back in 2016 I wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/2017\/05\/29\/2017-scaling-new-heights-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a blog post<\/a> about my takeaways from the first Scaling New Heights conference I attended. Mind you, I\u2019d been to plenty of other conferences before then, but this particular blog post resonates in particular because it still holds entirely true, almost ten years later! In re-reading it, I am delighted to find my core reasons for attending conferences remain the same:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Focusing my practice on our strengths &amp; priorities \u2013<\/strong> Exactly what these are change from year-to-year and are deeply personal; it\u2019s something I discuss with my team and we often decide together. Some examples from the past for us: niching; staffing; training; defining our Ideal Client Profile; pivoting to education, leadership, public speaking; automation and delegation; the client experience; the list goes on. I usually pick one or two overarching goals for each conference \u2013 but I also keep my eyes open to concepts I haven\u2019t yet considered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apps &amp; Solutions \u2013<\/strong> Something that no webinar, demo or virtual conference can fully emulate is the unmatched experience of being able to research and compare various products, apps, and other tools, all under one roof\u2026 with countless colleagues surrounding you who have <em>actually implemented<\/em> one or the other solution. This is how my Senior Accountant and I finally landed on <a href=\"https:\/\/keeper.app\/?via=nancy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keeper<\/a> a few years back \u2013 which has been a game-changer for our CPA and bookkeeping firm \u2013 and it\u2019s what led me to <a href=\"https:\/\/gusto.com\/r\/nancy11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gusto<\/a> payroll and <a href=\"https:\/\/app.relayfi.com\/v2\/register?referralcode=Dancingaccountant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Relay<\/a> banking back in the day. It\u2019s also how I finally decided to focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/quickbooks.intuit.com\/online\/?CID=psoc_QBO_US___acct_blog%20post_NancyMcC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">QuickBooks<\/a> rather than diversify into other platforms. These may not be the solutions for you (as I said, it\u2019s a deeply personalized experience based on your needs and goals), but for us they\u2019ve made a lasting difference, and researching potential partnerships with these companies would not otherwise have been possible with the same degree of interaction and comparison.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Real-life accounting firm scenarios \u2013 <\/strong>There\u2019s a saying that the real conference happens not in the sessions, but in the hallways. Now, I\u2019m not throwing shade at the classes, workshops, events or vendor hall, because I\u2019m obsessed with all of those as well! But remember what an incredible resource your colleagues are\u2026 as a collective, they probably have all the combined experience you need to get all your questions about firm-running or providing great service answered. There\u2019s always going to be someone out there who\u2019s tried this-or-that and has an opinion on the topic, and it\u2019s about time you found them. Keep your ears tuned to the other questions folks ask, talk to your class or lunch neighbors about your goals and aspirations, and pay attention to others attending demos and ask what if any solution they\u2019re currently using, and why they\u2019re exploring other options. Your community is the biggest resource you could possibly imagine \u2013 we\u2019re all trying to figure it out and no one can do it alone better than they can with input from others.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tips &amp; tricks \u2013 <\/strong>By this, I mean the nuggets rather than the giant implementations. Some of my biggest takeaways have sometimes been the smallest little chunks of learning\u2026 setting defaults for reporting, or uploading receipts via a mobile app, or tweaking settings for reminders; the list goes on. I keep a page at the back of my notebook for little gems like these, and also write the names of specific clients that would benefit from implementation so that I don\u2019t forget when I get back to the real world.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Networking &amp; comparing notes w\/ colleagues \u2013 <\/strong>Building relationships with colleagues is fun. It makes life better. It helps you feel less alone; it gives you someone to bounce ideas off of; it can be invaluable when you end up with a client who opens an account with a bank that won\u2019t sync with QuickBooks and you can\u2019t remember how to import the data. (If that sounds weirdly specific it\u2019s because it actually happened to me last year. Pro tip: don\u2019t use Square\u2019s Checking account.) And the best way I can think of to find these people is to meet them at conferences, and learn about which communities they\u2019re a part of that you can join. There are so many great ones out there \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookkeepingbuds.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bookkeeping Buds<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rlz.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Realize<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roundtablelab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Roundtable<\/a>, and of course my own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/bookkeepers-guide-to-annual-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2018Ask a CPA\u2019<\/a> membership for bookkeepers who have questions they (for whatever reason) can\u2019t ask their clients\u2019 tax pros.

I did this for years just as a matter of course, because I like people and I like knowing what\u2019s going on in the industry, and time and time again it\u2019s come back to me in a positive way, whether it\u2019s because I needed a favor, or had one to offer, or was looking for a podcast sponsor or guest. I once even had the amazing experience of a Point of Sale guru giving a client of mine a call when her old QuickBooks Desktop POS went on the fritz \u2013 the amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishmanagement.com\/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Will English<\/a> came to the rescue and saved her literally thousands of dollars and months of headache. All because I was impressed with his talk at a conference and got to know him better in the vendor hall.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exploring a new city or visiting an old favorite \u2013 <\/strong>Yes, I\u2019m talking about travel. I almost always try to arrive a day early and leave a day or two after the conference so I can catch some of the sights with my husband, who often travels with me and works from the hotel room. You can also do this on your own or make plans with other attendees to meet up (ahead of time or on a lark). It\u2019s an incredible opportunity to check out the sights and build some work-life balance into your trip. And it\u2019s travel with built-in protection from client demands and team emails, since they know you\u2019re busy at a conference, learning things that will help make their lives better when you get back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ask-a-CPA-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ask-a-CPA.jpg?resize=474%2C356&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ask-a-CPA-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ask-a-CPA-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ask-a-CPA-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ask-a-CPA-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ask-a-CPA-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ask-a-CPA-scaled.jpg?w=948&amp;ssl=1 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ask-a-CPA-scaled.jpg?w=1422&amp;ssl=1 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><strong>How to Choose Which Conferences To Attend<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I posted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/nancy-mcclelland-cpa_hey-you-do-you-like-accounting-conferences-activity-7301727664178925570-MNe6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on LinkedIn<\/a> to find out how my colleagues set their goals, budget, and criteria for deciding which conferences they\u2019d attend and got a lot of great feedback. I asked:<br \/>\u00a0\u2013 What are your favorites? And most importantly: WHY?<br \/>\u00a0\u2013 What do you look for in an accounting conference?<br \/>\u00a0\u2013 How do you budget for them?<br \/>\u00a0\u2013 And how do you choose from so many amazing ones?<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ve summarized that feedback here (and in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/iRQS291QaKU?si=Mk4euwEh0WRmr3A-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Insightful Accountant video<\/a>), along with my own takes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Different Types of Conferences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, a few general comments about \u201cDifferent <em>types<\/em> of conferences\u201d. I aim to attend at least A) one smaller-scale retreat, B) one accounting technology conference, and C) one tax update conference per year, and everything else falls into place based on 1-people I want to meet, 2-my travel schedule, 3-my goals for the year, and 4-in my case, whether or not I\u2019ve been invited or accepted to speak.<\/p>\n<p>To get those juices flowing, here\u2019s a list of different types of conferences that I personally consider:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Accounting Technology<\/li>\n<li>Bookkeeping<\/li>\n<li>Tax Compliance<\/li>\n<li>Advisory<\/li>\n<li>Topic-Specific (e.g., Mental Health\/ Sustainability-Bridging The Gap; Pricing-REFRAME; Education-\u2018Appy Camp)<\/li>\n<li>Team-Building<\/li>\n<li>Sector (Co-ops, Nonprofits, Fraud, Women-Focused, Niche: Legal, Restaurants, Medical, Cannabis, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Format: Live\/Virtual\/Hybrid; Keynote\/Breakout\/Panel; Size: Big\/Medium\/Small; How Interactive\/Participatory; Solo\/Team)<\/li>\n<li>Location \u2013 whether because you want to travel somewhere specific or avoid somewhere you don\u2019t like, or you want to stay local! (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/erinpohan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Erin Pohan<\/a> even created her own conference in Seattle because she didn\u2019t want to travel \u2013 talk about \u201cbuilding your own stage\u201d.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In my opinion, it\u2019s important to be intentional about what you\u2019re choosing and why (something I learned from Cindy Schroeder in Bookkeeping Buds). There\u2019s an endless number of incredible events out there\u2026 to get the most out of your conference budget, it helps to have a list of long-term, short-term, and conference goals. (I have a business to run\u2026 time away from my team and clients can be rejuvenating and insightful, but it\u2019s also non-billable.) With goals in mind, it\u2019s much easier to choose which ones to attend, as well as to plan your time wisely while you\u2019re there, and of course, to evaluate your takeaways and fold them into the fabric of your practice after you get back.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/QBC-22-Blake-David-scaled.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/QBC-22-Blake-David.jpg?resize=474%2C356&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/QBC-22-Blake-David-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/QBC-22-Blake-David-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/QBC-22-Blake-David-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/QBC-22-Blake-David-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/QBC-22-Blake-David-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/QBC-22-Blake-David-scaled.jpg?w=948&amp;ssl=1 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/QBC-22-Blake-David-scaled.jpg?w=1422&amp;ssl=1 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Goal-Setting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What are your goals for your firm, team members, your own career development, and your role in the accounting space?

href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iRQS291QaKU\">interview with Gary on Insightful Accountant<\/a>, and you\u2019re ready to attend your first accounting conference, then I\u2019ve got one more step for you to consider. Check out the Accounting Cornerstone Foundation at <a href=\"https:\/\/accountingcornerstone.org\/\">https:\/\/accountingcornerstone.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Born from a \u2018what if\u2019 sticky note at Appy Camp, the Accounting Cornerstone Foundation has become a reality with only one goal in mind: to share the opportunity to attend continuing education conferences and support the growth of accounting and bookkeeping professionals around the globe.\u00a0 They are a nonprofit that sends accounting and bookkeeping professionals to local in-person continuing education conferences, providing conference tickets, airfare, and hotel accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re already keen on accounting conferences and you know how life-changing and career-enhancing they can be, then please consider <a href=\"https:\/\/accountingcornerstone.org\/donation\/\">becoming an ACF donor<\/a>. All of us were once in the situation where we knew attending a conference could make a big difference in our lives, but the question of the chicken or the egg loomed\u2026 how am I supposed to come up with the money to attend, when I have to earn a living and I\u2019m just getting by? And then you tell yourself\u2026 but if I attend, maybe that will give me the tools I need to not just \u201cget by\u201d but to really thrive? But then\u2026 Catch 22 again\u2026 where is that money going to come from? The more donations ACF gets, the more applicants they can accept and the more first-timers they can send to conferences, pure and simple. If everyone in accounting-conference-land out there could donate even a small amount, we\u2019d be able to pay it forward for generations.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTG-Randy-from-his-team.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTG-Randy-from-his-team.jpg?resize=474%2C316&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTG-Randy-from-his-team.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTG-Randy-from-his-team.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTG-Randy-from-his-team.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTG-Randy-from-his-team.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTG-Randy-from-his-team.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTG-Randy-from-his-team.jpg?w=948&amp;ssl=1 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thedancingaccountant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/BTG-Randy-from-his-team.jpg?w=1422&amp;ssl=1 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Final Thoughts: Conferences Can Change Everything<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a seasoned firm owner or a solo practitioner still finding your footing, the right accounting conference can make a world of difference. I\u2019ve built lifelong friendships, made smarter tech decisions, improved my team\u2019s systems, found new passions, and met mentors and peers who make this whole journey more joyful and sustainable. Every year, these events help me hit the reset button on my vision and remind me why I do what I do (as well as help me \u201cdo it better\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Please don\u2019t just read this list and move on. Take a moment. Revisit your goals, peek at your calendar, and choose <strong>at least one<\/strong> conference to attend this year. Bonus points if you apply for a scholarship from the Accounting Cornerstone Foundation, or help someone else attend by donating.
