Automation Training

We're building training videos to take you and your team from your very first integration, to industry-first content around topics like robotic process automation.

Learn about cloud apps, Airtable, Zapier, Integromat and RPA tools like Electroneek alongside other talented accountants going through the same journey.

Mastermind Groups

A 6 month journey in groups of 5 with other professionals in a similar firm size, at the same stage, and offering similar services. We're matchmaking accountants to enable hyper-relevant input from pros who are in a similar situation to your own.

Software Transitions

Cohort-based software transitions are being organized among group members, to mitigate the risk of these transitions. Transition teams are made up of 1-2 sponsors who have used the tool for several years, and 2-5 members who agree to make the migration in parallel, sharing tips, frustrations and best practices.

Shared Tools

We're building shared tooling that anyone in the community is free to use. Instead of each member reinventing the wheel, we're putting out heads together to build around common needs.

The format:

The meeting format is simple: each member spends 20 minutes talking through what's going well, and what isn't. It's a rare opportunity where you have 20 minutes of permission to talk about yourself, your struggles and your ambitions.

This space doesn't exist for most professionals, and the opportunity to talk through those challenges with other pros that understand exactly where you're at is a powerful experience.

You'll learn what challenges your peers are going through, and glean wisdom from their journey along the way.
