Biography
Greg Kyte is NOT your typical CPA. With years of experience in public accounting, corporate finance, and education, he’s seen every corner of the profession, and he’s made it his mission to shake things up. As a comedian, emcee, podcast co-host, and accounting expert, Greg brings humor into an industry that desperately needs it. If you think accounting is boring, he’s here to prove you wrong, one joke at a time.
Greg is the co-creator of Oh My Fraud, a true-crime-meets-accounting podcast that dives into the wildest fraud stories in the financial world. With his signature mix of humor and expertise, he turns dry accounting topics into something people actually want to listen to. Whether he’s on-stage cracking jokes, hosting an event, or breaking down technical topics, he makes sure accountants stay awake, engaged, and maybe even inspired. His comedy isn’t just for laughs. His comedy is also a tool for learning, making complex ideas more accessible and helping people actually remember what they hear.
But Greg isn’t just about jokes. He’s on a MISSION to help accountants embrace what makes them unique. He believes every accountant has a “Venn diagram”—a mix of technical skills and something else that makes them stand out. Whether it’s food, music, extreme sports, or even comedy, he says: Own it. Use it. Make it part of your career.
He’s proof that being an accountant DOESN’T MEAN fitting into a mold. Instead of trying to be like everyone else, he encourages accountants to bring their personality, quirks, and creativity into their work. Because at the end of the day, accounting isn’t just about numbers. Accounting is about people, stories, and making connections. And if you can laugh along the way? Even better.
