The Closers: Modern Revenue Accounting Podcast

Do NOT Automate What You’re Doing in a Spreadsheet


Listen Later

This episode features an interview with David Lopez, Director in the Accounting Advisory practice at CFGI. 

In this episode, David speaks into setting up systems that help teams respond quickly and efficiently when things inevitably change in business, what agility looks like in the financial space, and how accountants are more than a back office function.

Key Takeaways:

  • The modern accountant is agile and acts as a strategic partner to an organization.
  • Data is vast and available everywhere in real time, and accounting professionals miss opportunities to make strategic decisions when they don’t utilize the data.
  • There’s immediate value and then there’s value that continues long after a project is complete, and that value keeps clients coming back.
