    Bio

    Bill Sheridan is a knowledge hunter, content curator and lifelong learner.  As chief communications officer for the Maryland Association of CPAs, he created and co-authors the association’s acclaimed blog; he created and hosts the MACPA’s weekly “Future-Proof” podcast; and he manages the association’s member communications and numerous social networks. He was named one of Accounting Today’s “100 Most Influential People in Accounting” for 2016.

It’s a new world in the workplace. Groundbreaking shifts in regulation, demographics, leadership and technology mean that “business as usual” doesn’t cut it anymore. Success today depends on our ability to collaborate, connect, innovate and inspire. For the past 10 years, Bill Sheridan has used the Maryland Association of CPAs’ acclaimed blog, CPA Success, to show us how – and he’s learned a valuable lesson along the way: We’ll build better businesses, live better lives, and conquer complexity once we master the ability to look, lead, love and learn.
