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 favourite 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.

Often a simple solution can solve a big problem.

I’ve attended a number of Intuit’s Connect conferences and they are “da bomb”. I would be going again this year even if I wasn’t hosting a session.

I have been to a few Connect Conferences in Toronto, but last November I took the plunge and ventured southwest for Connect San Jose. And I am so glad I did.

I run at least 5 days a week. I am very disciplined about my morning runs. Nothing gets in the way – not when I feel horrible, not the weather, not a to-do list and not being on vacation.

I can work from everywhere, on my schedule and meet my clients’ expectations. I can run my business efficiently from anywhere there is an internet connection or cellular data.

I want to state upfront, unequivocally, that this post is not to brag or gloat. It’s to suggest that the “freedom” we’ve heard that comes with “working in the cloud” can actually happen.

I also want to be very clear that it’s been a process, and it didn’t happen overnight.

I’m watching some of the forum discussions on education and certification with great interest. Because I have a story… who doesn’t?

I’m at 13 of 1,300 kilometers.

I have a friend & colleague who is a fabulous bookkeeper. She has been my go-to since my early years for bookkeeping advice.

I am extremely grateful to Intuit for letting me share my cloud fintech experiences.
