Cosmin Nicolaescu spent years at Stripe and Brex building the financial infrastructure that millions of businesses depend on. Now he's turned that experience toward a different problem: Why are accounting firms still operating like it's 1995? As CEO and co-founder of Accrual, Cosmin is building an AI platform designed to take the mechanical burden off CPAs and give them back time for the work that actually requires their judgment. Episode 258 marks part one of a two-part conversation on The Unique CPA where he talks with Randy about what drew him to the accounting profession specifically, how watching finance teams operate strategically at Stripe and Brex shaped his thinking, and what it looks like in practice when a firm cuts a 100-hour tax return down to 15.
