I Have An Honourable Mention From Someone I Deeply Respect
How cool is this?!
Ryan Lazanis is a forward-thinking CPA and a fellow Canadian Cloud Accounting advocate.
He is the founder of Future Firm and hugely respected in the modernizing Accounting Firms arena.
“Want to build and scale an online, automated, modern accounting firm?
You’ve come to the right place!
Future Firm provides you with resources to help modernize your firm.
Founded by me, Ryan Lazanis.
I’m a CPA who built my own online firm from scratch to sale in only 5 years. My goal is to teach the lessons that I’ve learned along the way to help shape your own modern firm.
So follow along to get actionable advice that helps improve your firm when it comes to technology, marketing & practice management.”
You can imagine that I’m thrilled.
Ryan’s podcast from today is all about Accounting Communities and our fabulous collaboration.
“Accounting communities are a great place to share best practices, learn from others and collaborate with like-minded professionals. Below I share my favorite 6 accounting communities for modern accountants that I regularly frequent.”
And he put our Facebook Group on the list of communities to join.
I consider it our - the members and myself - group.
We love efficiency and productivity hacks, cloud applications and group collaboration. Love, love, love…
The group is called The Workflow Wateringhole, and we are all about processes, systems, workflows and the technology that powers them.
He mentions our group (and my name - blush) in the podcast along with a few other big hitters, early adopters and cloud advocates - simply wow.
These two I have been lucky enough to have had great conversations with.
Guy Pearson of Practice Ignition
Chad Davis of LiveCA
And two fellers that I know only a smidge, but I’m a fan.
Mike Pinkus and Lior Zehtser of ConnectCPA
And he chats about a CPA I follow on #TaxTwitter - who is amazing.
Jason Staats of Realize Community
He doesn’t mention our group moderator, who has a completely cloud-based firm as well, but I am :-}

3:49 – Next, The Workflow WateringHole group on Facebook run by Kellie Parks.

Thanks, Ryan!
You made my day - I’ll bask in the glow longer, though.
And thank you to the amazingly collaborative members of The Workflow Wateringhole.
Y’all are da bomb!
Simply yours, Kellie :-}
