Cue the heavy breathing. No, there isn’t a serial killer in the closet, it's our hosts reacting to their favorite guest’s return on Episode 87 of UnAccountable. As always, your hosts are:
“Ty-Lurch” Otto from Specialized Accounting, focusing on medium to large businesses in the glamorous hospitality, marina, and service industries.
“Jeremy Van Ghoul” from Nonprofit Bookkeeping, a champion for nonprofits with his accounting expertise.
Our special guest is the haunting Duane Laflotte, CEO of Ghostpoint Security LLC.
In Da News, Duane shares what he has been up to (only a little thing like making your own business) and educates us with the Zero Day Clock.
Next up is Oh the Horror, where we test Duane on Halloween movie trivia and where it coincides with the technology terrors of today. Duane tells (true) nightmares of AI-powered cyberattacks, hard-to-spot phishing scams, what happens after a breach, risks of vibe coding, connecting AI to business systems, new and evolving threats, and shares practical cybersecurity basics.
So buckle in and be ready for some tricks and treats!
P.S. Don’t forget about UFAT, our fortnightly trivia series with awesome prizes (thanks, Double!). Click here for more info! 12:00 pm MT / 2:00 pm ET
📣 What if the time-consuming parts of accounting just... handled themselves?
That's the idea behind Stack by Ramp: an AI-native platform that lets you deploy agents to do the repetitive work.
Reconciliations, journal entries, flux analysis. Your processes, your rules, your clients. You decide where it runs on its own and where it stops for your review.
They've got the data to prove it. Ramp evaluated Stack against 200+ real accounting tasks, built and graded by working accountants — and it outpaces the general-purpose models.
