Rick Flynn spent three decades building Flynn & Company into one of Cincinnati's most respected CPA firms — then was acquired by UHY, the 26th-largest accounting firm in the country. In this episode, Rick unpack's the whole arc: caddying at Kenwood Country Club, ten years cutting his teeth at EY, the itch to go out on his own in 1994, and the leadership pivot that turned Flynn & Company into a place people built careers.
Rick also gets into his other big bet: Warsaw Federal, the Price Hill savings bank he helped pull out of regulatory trouble and turn into Cincinnati's first Minority Depository Institution — funding the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater along the way.
And because Rick was a founding business behind what's now the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, the conversation turns to community, philanthropy, AI's role in accounting and giving, and why more choices — in banking, in CPA firms, in everything — make communities stronger.
