Accounting ARC With Byron Patrick and Donny Shimamoto Center for Accounting Transformation (https://improvetheworld.net/contact/) Busy season may still be a days out, but the stress response already starts to hum for a lot of accounting professionals — the calendar fills, the inbox tightens, and the margin for error feels like it shrinks to a sliver. In the latest Accounting ARC, Donny Shimamoto, CPA.CITP, CGMA, and Byron Patrick, CPA.CITP, take that reality head-on with a surprisingly practical lens: modern stoicism.  • MORE Accounting ARC: The Fastest Way to Lose Talent Is “Dick Leadership” (https://cpatrendlines.com/2026/02/05/...) | Post-Holiday Fatigue Isn’t a Failure; It’s a Signal (https://cpatrendlines.com/2026/01/22/...) | OCR, Research Bots & Meeting Assistants: What Actually Helps Now (https://cpatrendlines.com/2026/01/15/...) | Return Season is the New Stress Test (https://cpatrendlines.com/2026/01/08/...) | Small Firms May Have the Biggest Advantage in 2026 (https://cpatrendlines.com/2026/01/01/...) | Downgraded: What the DOE Said About Accounting | (https://cpatrendlines.com/2025/12/11/...)

They start by naming the misconception most people bring to the word “stoic” — that it means emotionless, rigid, “stone-faced.” Shimamoto, founder and managing director of IntrapriseTechKnowlogies LLC and founder and inspiration architect for the Center for Accounting Transformation, admits that’s how he learned it, too: a kind of unfeeling resilience.  But the article that sparks the episode — a Psychology Today piece on the science of stoicism — reframes it as something more useful (and more human): a set of attitudes and behaviors linked with resilience, lower anger and higher life satisfaction.
