The CPA’s journey into technology has been the hottest topic in the accounting profession over the last five years—and the pace of change isn't slowing down. More than ever, enabling your firm with the right technology has become a survival tactic, but for those strategic firms, it has become a differentiator for rapid growth. Technology is becoming the foundation of accounting firms and CPAs are beginning to build their firms around technology rather than build technology into their firm. But what happens when the building blocks of your firm’s technology don’t quite fit together and the lack of perfect harmony results in increasing headaches with IT, software management, and integration? How should you think about assembling your “tech stack” vs. assembling a comprehensive and cohesive solution? During this presentation, you’ll get insight into how some of the most successful firms coming out of the COVID-19 era are approaching modern-day, technology-driven solutions in their firms, optimizing their operations and ultimately redefining SaaS in the accounting industry.

But- to properly enable your CPA firm for long-term growth, you need a reliable strategic plan. Where do you even begin?? During this presentation, you’ll hear some of our strategic planning best-practices that will help position your CPA firm for long-term growth- that actually work.

Is the office of the future even an office at all? Yes. No. Maybe? For some companies, the office of the future looks like a collection of former kitchen tables, turned makeshift offices. For others, it looks like the offices we left behind a few months ago with the addition of plexiglass room dividers and hand sanitizer. For most, it’s some combination of all of the above. Regardless of which category your organization falls into, all businesses are ultimately striving for the same thing: A near-seamless production of work, free from technical disruption, and business risk. In this session, CEO of Botkeeper, Enrico Palmerino together with executive leadership from Electric, Newscred, ADPS, and Eden will drive discussion around how to achieve that: Maintaining productivity with remote teams for the long-term, How to avoid technical disruption and minimize burnout, Mitigating business risk when working from ‘Anywhere, and Answers to all of your questions!
