This show is about filling in the knowledge gaps in your busy lives as accountants and leaders in practice, plus bookkeepers, finance leaders and the software/fintech industry that serves them. It's what you missed and you didn't know you missed, and why it's important.

☛ what's really going on behind the recent private equity purchases of accounting reporting software companies

☛ the mystery of why busy accountants who are locked into compliance might be fueling an interest in advisory tools like reporting

☛ how data is driving everything and how the reporting software data adds value to other software products and services

☛ the difference between 2D reporting (say management accounts) and 3D reporting with more context and smarter decisions

☛ what keeps accountants and CPAs at the heart of business conversations

☛ why there will be more purchases and consolidation in the accounting and fintech software space
