Beyond the Balance Sheet: Turner Shares Experience as Accountant, CEO, Podcast Host
February 22, 2026Beyond running his own company, Turner also hosts multiple vlogs and podcasts, including Law First + Finance, The Law Practice Podcast and The Golden AGE of Business. A nationally ranked CPA, Turner has been named a Top 20 Global Finance Influencer, andhas been honored with the Illinois CPA Society’s 40 Under 40 Black CPA Award.
Yet, despite Turner’s busy schedule, he still manages to find time to give back to his alma mater, Lander University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting. His most recent visit to Lander, held Monday, Feb. 9, included two accounting class visits, one management class visit, and meetings with accounting faculty and students… and, of course, a final stop at Lander’s podcasting studio to work on an accounting podcast.
Professors in Lander University’s College of Business and Technology are quick to offer Turner as the model alumnus of their programs – someone who uses his Lander education to blend his personal and professional ambitions into a successful career and rewarding life after Lander.
