One essential skill for being a good bookkeeper or accountant is the ability to understand our business clients' needs, identify their key pain points, and develop customized solutions. Even if we serve many clients in the same industry or have been in business for many years, we can't just group clients together and offer the same advice. Each client's business has its own unique needs. That's why Nexgen Accounting Inc. encourages all our advisors to attend the FREE online event below to learn from small business owners' perspectives. #SmallBusinessBC (SBBC) will host a FREE online webinar on June 25, 2024. The panelists are three immigrant business owners from different industries and at various stages of their business journey. They will share their entrepreneurial experiences and how they overcame challenges.

Are you only looking backwards? CPAs and bookkeepers can help you see your company’s history. And while it’s important to know your history (cue the famous quote about doomed to repeat it), it’s more useful to see what lies ahead.

.@BillSheridan: 209. Is A.I. the answer? with Will Hill: We've spent a good amount of time discussing new technology (A.I. in particular) and what it all means for CPAs and our profession. However, amidst these discussions, we've overlooked the strategies for implementing broader changes, including new technology, ideas, mindsets, and work processes. After browsing numerous articles, I came across a resonating approach: asking our organization, "What do we need? What problems are we trying to solve?" Then, we develop a plan, train others, and launch. This problem-focused strategy prioritizes identifying our challenges and leveraging new technologies to address them. My guest is believes in this same approach: Will Hill, founder and owner of Will Hill Consults, a coaching and consulting firm serving the tax and accounting profession. Will emphasizes that understanding the problems we aim to solve can lead us to realize that the solution may not be what we thought (i.e. A.I.). The journey begins with identifying the problem, not the technology. Listen as we discuss the questions critical for our internal teams and clients.
