CPA Career Insurance: Build Your Personal Brand

In Episode 6, the finale of this 6-part series, Rob Brown explains why your personal brand is your greatest asset in the age of AI and consolidation. Compliance is collapsing. Clients want advisors. Tech is an ally. But the only thing you fully control is your visibility, authority and influence.

Rob shares stats from LinkedIn and Edelman, examples from firms, and 5 practical actions to start building your personal brand today.

This series is not about firms. It is about you — your visibility, your relevance and your survival.
