In this episode of The Future Finance Show, hosts Glenn Hopper and Paul Barnhurst speak with Santiago Nestares, co-founder and CEO of DualEntry, about the urgent need for modern ERP systems built from the ground up. Santiago shares the origin story behind DualEntry, born from his frustrations with legacy finance systems while scaling a $100M+ global business. The conversation explores how DualEntry eliminates painful ERP implementations, delivers live data in under 24 hours, and empowers finance teams to operate with greater automation and control

Santiago Nestares is the CEO and co-founder of DualEntry, an AI-native ERP platform. Prior to DualEntry, he co-founded Benitago, which scaled to over $100 million in revenue. His first-hand struggles with outdated ERP systems inspired him to build a finance platform that automates workflows, simplifies migrations, and improves operational transparency, without the typical consulting overhead or nine-month implementations.
