In Episode 74 of the Big 4 Transparency Podcast, Michael Ly, founder of Reconciled, shares his journey from being an introverted individual to becoming a prominent figure in the accounting industry. He discusses the importance of social connections, mentorship, and personal growth, as well as the challenges he faced in establishing his firm. Michael elaborates on the growth of Reconciled through acquisitions, fueled by retaining capital in the business and not shying away from debt financing. We also discuss the integration of technology, particularly AI, to enhance efficiency in accounting practices.
